Mind you, though Halloween is all about spooky characters that scare you to death, there’s no rule that you go dressed as one compulsorily. Didn’t Jessica Biel go dressed as Justin Timberlake to a party recently? So, despite Hollywood offering ample characters to go dressed as for this extended version of a costume party, you can go local and opt for Bollywood characters instead.
Gabbar Singh
Did you think we wouldn’t start the list with one of the most iconic Bollywood villains? For Sholay fans, there’s no looking beyond. Just put on some khakees, carry a fake gun and ammunition belt and voila, you are ready to torture Ramgad ke vaasiyon ko. A word of advice though- turn around and leave the party if you spot Veeru. Because we all know how that ends.
Mogambo
Yes, another iconic villain and, in comparison to Gabbar, a more richly-dressed one. Mogambo instilled fear in people and maybe you can too with ‘Mogambo khush hua’. However, make sure you get the line and voice right unless you want the fellow party-people to turn it into a joke. If that happens, not even Mogambo’s minions can save you.
Arun Verma aka Mr India
This option is a huge hit for those who dread going to costume parties. Essentially what we are telling you is that you can vanish- not make an appearance- and yet tell your friends that you were there. To be extra careful, you could send out a voiceover of Mr India’s dialogues to be played at the party and just hope no one is wearing a red-coloured goggle there. Warna chori pakdi jayegi aur dost Mogambo ki maut maarenge.
Krrish
Yes, we know what you are thinking. What is a good guy like Krrish doing in this list? But hey, no one said anything about dressing up only as the bad guys! Besides, the mask and black dress kind of makes it a cool getup to sport at a Halloween party.
Bhavesh Joshi
Who? Alright, maybe you don’t know him because the film hardly made any waves. But the dude has a cool costume! Slightly on the lines of Slade Wilson but still different. Black dress and a black mask (illuminated by red lights) teamed up with sticks for fighting the bad guys; tell us if that doesn’t interest you. You might also want to make an entrance on a black bike to add to the feel.
Surya aka the mard jisko dard nahi hota
You have all the reasons to question this inclusion but give us a minute to explain. We are talking about a guy who wears swimming goggles, casual clothes and a hydration pack (because paani peete rehna chahiye) daily. To top it, he doesn’t feel pain! If you are dressed as Surya, even the zombie gang cannot harm you. Convinced now?
Kancha Cheena
Choose Sanjay Dutt’s Kancha and you can go bald, do an ear-piercing, sport tattoos on your biceps and have a menacing laugh. Choose Danny Denzongpa’s version and you turn in a suave crime lord who stares as sharply as he dresses. Either of these are a good choice to induce fear till the time Vijay Deenanth Chauhan makes an appearance at your party. The chances of that though, are low.
Shakaal
There is no dearth of bald villains in Bollywood, but the ease with which Shakaal plays a deadly version of musical chairs and feeds people to the alligators in his den is unmatched. The advantage is that you don’t need a lot of makeup to make this convincing. Go bald, wear an embroidered safari suit and you are ready.
Din Dayal aka ‘Loin’
The loin here translates to lion, but the way yesteryear baddie Ajit pronounced it makes this word iconic. Frankly, the getup here should be the least of your concerns. What you need to focus on are the dialogues. Because ‘Saara sheher inhe Loin ke naam se jaanta hain’.
Bhallaldeva
We will end the list with another iconic villain, albeit one from recent times. Baahubali’s arch-nemesis Bhallaldeva can make for a great costume-character for Halloween if you are a regular at the gym and can stop a raging bull with bare hands.
