Bollywood has kept us entertained since forever. Although most movies are backed up by an A-lister, who also has the chunkiest role, there are a few characters who have been etched into our memories.
This is, by no means, an extensive list, neither is it exhaustive. It is merely the tip of the iceberg that is Bollywood.
And you get a movie! And you get a movie! And you get a movie! * Oprah Winfrey approves *

Why: Because who can be Hitleresque and bumbling at the same time? Yes, Jailer is right.
Where: 3 Idiots
Why: Because silence is not always golden.
Who: Perpendicular

Why: Because of his insane blade-in-mouth skill. Even though it will leave our heads spinning to watch him do that for two hours.
Where: Munnabhai MBBS
Why: Because, Circuit.
Where: Lagaan
Why: Because going by the movie he was the first spinner India had! From an untouchable to a savior, his tale deserves to be told.

Where: Monsoon Wedding
Why: There should be more movies about marigold-eating hopeless lovers.

Who: Mogambo
Where: Mr. India
Why: Because every time he is happy, he seems surprised and announces it and we deserve to know why.

Where: Hum Aapke Hain Kaun
Why: Because Tuffy is also an acclaimed umpire. Imagine the possibilities of this movie!
And an honorary mention to Jimmy Shergill. He really deserves a movie of his own.
