Villains are nothing but a projection of our other selves, the ones we are afraid of, the ones we dislike or are uncomfortable with. Villains are the people we disagree wiith, or have trouble reconciling to. Villains are our pet peeves, our restive rants. Hindi cinema villains - PLTs (People Like Them) - are nothing but inverted images of people like us, who slyly enjoy the fun without experiencing the accompanying guilt, shame or regret.
