Jim Sarbh in 'Made In India- A Titan Story,' Danish Pandor in 'Dhurandhar,' Aparshakti Khurana in 'Dhoka: Round D Corner': When actors played memorable characters

There is something entirely engaging about actors who steal the show as underdog characters as the heart of the plot. And Bollywood has gifted us with actors who’ve established themselves as scene-stealers and their performances which the audiences couldn’t stop talking about.

Jim Sarbh - Made In India- A Titan Story

The first time when we meet the imperturbable Desai, played by Jim Sarbh, he gives a company’s retinue some delightful ideas on how to continue their protests. He declares in incorrect Hindi he’s not supposed to be taking sides since he’s a project manager. The saccharine simplicity of the performance and the sugarcoated background music are supposed to make us feel for the story and the man to whom it belongs. Despite the apparent telling, some portions are a genuine delight.
