Villians make the most of the heroes

Sholay...Mr.India...Karma....Ram Lakhan..Shiva...

When you hear the names of the movies mentioned above, most of the faces would attract smile as these are few of the films that made us happy. When you hear sholay, you remember gabbar singh as much as jay and veeru and most of us may not be able to tell the name of the character Anil Kapoor played in Mr. India but we remember Mogambo. Loin makes people excited even today and the people of the present generation who havent even seen him loves him. Thats the power of the villian. A strong villian makes the hero even more stronger and hence the strong villian becomes as important if not more than a hero in a movie. Can you imagine the above movies without a strong villian? No ways. Isnt it?

Do I mean that the movie without a strong villian wont work? I dont mean a physical villian when I say so. Take the case of Anand. The disease that Rajesh Khanna battles is the villian in this movie and it could be the struggle the hero undergoes thats a villian in some cases. Ultimately unless the hero has a strong hero or a strong opposition, his character cannot be elevated.

This brings me back to the real life from reel life. How many times do we feel bad that we are facing difficulties in our lives? How many times do we blame god for the failures in our lives? How many times do we blame fate for things not happening the way it has to be? People who pass thru thr situations successfully vouch to the fact that the adverse situations and failure made them more stronger. Most of the successful people would definetely credit the failures they faced in the past for the present success. Failures,difficulties and obstacles are part and parcel of our lives and they come to us only to ensure that we emerge stronger. Like the way a strong villian makes a stronger hero, the tough situations makes a person even more stronger and successful.

So dont blame the failures and obstacles and rather learn from them to grow stronger.
