About Bollywooddle

Kitne aadmi the, Gabbar asks in Sholay, and in Bollywooddle the answer is five: Gabbar Singh, Jai, Veeru, Basanti and Thakur Baldev Singh. Only 3 Idiots and Baahubali bring as many.

We let the big South Indian hits in too, since they were just as big in Hindi, so Kattappa, Rocky from K.G.F, Pushpa Raj and Srivalli sit next to Raj and Simran. The roster runs from Radha and Birju in Mother India to Pathaan and Animal in the 2020s, though the 2000s and 2010s hold most of it. The villains are a good place to start in this Bollywood Wordle. Mogambo, Shakaal, Crime Master Gogo and Kancha Cheena are about as memorable as screen baddies get, and all four are from the 1980s and 1990s.
