From scheming relatives, evil in-laws, and stubborn parents, to cheating husbands, unfaithful wives & molester uncles waiting to backstab you in the garb of familial love.

In the 3rd episode of Main Hoon Villain, find out whether or not we are deranged for sympathizing with this category of Bollywood villains, also known as the psychopaths? While Bollywood actors continued playing predictable macho/romantic heroes, an outsider almost became the face of the disturbed, reclusive, young man, obsessed with cold revenge, with love we call him King Khan, SRK. Missing the moral bone from their body, wanting to inflict pain, some with unalloyed obsessions - plain and simple, some vastly sadistic crazed lovers, this breed of villainy was also followed by leading heroes and heroines alike. The question remains, why was the audience sprinkling sympathy at the mental malady of disturbed, delusional, destructive men and women during the 1990s?

Let's find out this and more with your cinephile host Mohit Chhabra and national award-winning author Balaji Vittal and understand the unhinged antagonists and audience's inscrutable lure towards them.

From Gabbar Singh's 'Kitne Aadmi The?' being echoed by millions since the day the movie was released to Feroz Khan discarding his leather jackets & bikers accessories to pull off the role of a Daku in 'Khote Sikkay' on a horseback, offcourse. Even Zeenat Aman couldn't resist taking on the role of Daku Haseena! Among the notorious dacoits, some earned cult status and almost every Bollywood star dipped their toes into 'Daku-dom'. Yet, somewhere in the 1980s, this Bollywood breed seemed to fade from the spotlight!
