For some reason, Saif Ali Khan has been opting for negative roles lately. So, it was quite refreshing to hear that he might return as the lead in the rumoured Race 4 . Don’t get us wrong - Chote Nawab is excellent at portraying darker shades, and there are films where his villainous turn is the sole saving grace.
But we don’t want him to get typecast, do we? This concern came to mind while watching Devara Part 1 , where, once again, he plays the main antagonist in the Jr NTR starter. ‘Devara Part 1’ Movie Review: Jr NTR Is Terrific, Saif Ali Khan Is Decent and Janhvi Kapoor Is Gratuitous in Koratala Siva’s Overstretched Actioner . Was Saif Ali Khan good as the villain in Devara ? He was as solid as expected, and (SPOILERS AHEAD) his character, Bhaira, survives the first film, meaning we’ll see him in Devara Part 2 .
However, Devara 's Bhaira isn’t one of Saif’s best negative roles - in fact, it’s one of his weaker performances in a grey-shaded character, though certainly not his weakest. So, what is Saif Ali Khan’s best negative role to date? In this feature, we rank his villainous portrayals from worst to best. Kurbaan Kurbaan is best known for pairing real-life couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, featuring steamy scenes between the two.
The film is a terrorism drama, where Saif plays a terrorist who marries a college professor (Kapoor) to gain entry into the USA. While Saif delivers a good performance, the reason this ranks low is because it’s not.
