Using reincarnation, hypnosis, mimicry, stunts and grunts, Armaan killed off Sharad Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani, Aditya Pancholi, Arshad Warsi, Suniel Shetty and I may be missing a few names here. Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002), Armaan Kohli Becomes a BikeĪrmaan Kohli was an ichhadhari naag in a previous birth but became a shapeshifting Terminator, killing off half the film industry after a misunderstanding over who killed his fiancée. Think of what Jai, Viru and Thakur did to the dacoits in Sholay’s opening scene? Multiply the enemies by a hundred and divide the heroes by three. He then ploughed through half the Pakistan army and its trucks and helicopters, on his way out. In an extended climax, he first fought back an angry mob with nothing but a handpump (which has reached mythical levels in the Bollywood Masala Universe now). Sunny Deol – the ultimate he-man of Bollywood – went to Pakistan to pick up his wife and took the country apart while doing so. Gadar: Ek Prem Katha: Sunny Deol – 1, Pakistan – 0 The most incredible thing about this stunt is that they found a pothole-free stretch to do it on. Probably the most famous stunt of pre-Rohit Shetty Bollywood, Ajay rode to college atop two bikes, doing splits while going over dividers and blowing kisses at his admiring classmates. In this Wild Wild West, in walked Ajay Devgn… no… in rode Ajay Devgan (still with all his vowels intact) and made his father’s – stunt director Veeru Devgan’s – naam roshan. In the cut-price world of 1980-90s cinema, stunts happened with a prayer on the lips and foreign technicians were still one Liberalization away.
Phool Aur Kaante (1991): Devgan Has Us In Splits Toofan also had a high-tech bow-and-arrow weaponry but the storm just – well – blew minds. This storm-trooping was a special edition superpower, available only to those blessed by Lord Hanuman. After that, he just came and kicked your ass. Before you could see Toofan, a literal toofan came and disoriented you.
Well, superhero Toofan’s appearance used to be preceded by – wait for it – a storm. What’s the craziest thing that happens when a superhero is about to appear? You mistake him for a bird, for a plane? You can’t really spot him in the dark? Some spidery webby things come up?
