Omkara: JioCinema

In Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara, Saif Ali Khan delivers a career-defining performance as Langda Tyagi.

Agneepath: Netflix

Sanjay Dutt's portrayal of Kancha Cheena in the 2012 remake of Agneepath is a high-voltage, menacing performance. As the drug kingpin of Mandwa, Kancha Cheena is a brutal villain who rules with terror. With his bald head, tattooed body, and chilling dialogue, he became an iconic villain of modern Hindi cinema. His intense showdown with the protagonist, Vijay, is the film's centrepiece, embodying the ultimate clash between vengeance and absolute evil.

Ra. One: Amazon Prime Video

The best pick for this year’s Dussehra could be Shah Rukh Khan’s sci-fi thriller, where Arjun Rampal plays the titular villain, a powerful and self-aware video game character who crosses into the real world. Ra.One, a digital avatar of the mythological Ravana, is relentlessly determined to defeat the hero, G.One. His ability to shapeshift, manipulate technology, and instil fear in the human world makes him a unique and modern antagonist.

Krrish 3: Sony Liv

This superhero film features a formidable and memorable villain, Kaal, played by Vivek Oberoi. A brilliant and ruthless scientist with telekinetic powers, Kaal creates a terrifying army of ‘maanvars’ (human-animal mutants) to carry out his diabolical plans. His quest for world domination and his ruthless methods make him a perfect foil for the superhero Krrish. To enjoy the festival of Dussehra, enjoy this movie at home with your loved ones.

Stree 2: Amazon Prime Video

In this latest instalment of the horror-comedy franchise, the people of Chanderi face a new terror in the form of Sarkata, a headless spirit who abducts modern women. As the villain, he represents a new and even more menacing challenge for Vicky and his friends. Their battle against this powerful, multiplying entity makes for a suspenseful and humorous experience, making it a powerful Dussehra-themed watch.

By watching these stories, audiences are not just entertained but are also reminded of the enduring power of hope and the ultimate triumph of virtue, making for a truly memorable and inspiring festive season.
