What this episode covers

Welcome to Break Ke Baad!🎙 Episode 13: The Baddies of BollywoodFrom Gabbar’s lawless terror to Mogambo’s theatrical evil… from anti-love patriarchs to emotionally manipulative MILs — Bollywood villains have never been one-note.In this episode of Break Ke Baad, we go beyond ranking “bad guys” and unpack the many shades of villainy in Hindi cinema. We’re talking crime lords, obsessive lovers, toxic parents, domestic disruptors, and even the rare but iconic female antagonists. Why did 70s films fear dacoits? Why were 90s dads the ultimate romantic roadblock? And why is Bollywood still uncomfortable writing powerful female villains?Expect psychological deep-dives, hot takes, and of course — our very chaotic Villain Awards.Because sometimes the real villain isn’t the one with the gun… it’s the one saying “log kya kahenge.”💌 Follow us on Instagram at @breakkebaadpodcast for more Bollywood trivia, and follow us on Letterboxd at @adesai20 for more reviews.
