Villains: Who is the Sankranthi winner ?
Nannaku Prematho, Dictator, Express Raja, and Soggade Chinni Nayana - they all had villains. IndiaGlitz chronicles these films to bring out the relative importance of those villains to his film in descending order.
Jagapathi Babu
Surely, the winner villain of the season. Suave-looking but filthy-minded, normal-looking but cruel, mean and menacing, Jagapathi Babu's character was of all these. Credit goes to the way Sukumar wrote the characterization. And yes, NTR made full use of his antagonist!
Rathi Agnihotri
In terms of the domineering presence on screen, Rathi Agnihotri scores well, though she comes a distant second to the antagonist of Nannaku Prematho. Balakrishna had a power-packed scene or two, but the disappointment is that she doesn't have a single memorable line.
Nasser and Sampath
These two have a substantial role in the story, but their importance to the film Soggade Chinni Nayana is not noteworthy. Nevertheless, a good show by both.
Harish Uttaman
A good show by Harish Uttaman, the only serious villain of Express Raja. Urvashi and Supreet are more into comedy. But yes, when she shows arrogance, Urvashi is a notch higher than any other character in the film.
