Shakespeare had once said – What’s there in a name? Well, if there’s nothing in a name then why did Shakespeare mention his name below it? But names do matter at least in our Bollywood films which have written their own set rules over the years. All that matters to our writers and directors are character names that strike a chord with the audiences. Imagine if Gabbar Singh would’ve been called Pinkoo Singh, would it have created the impact it had, or Mogambo being rechristened as Lallu would it have made a difference? Maybe ‘Yes’, because names often are a reflection of your character and the image you carry.
Character names in films go along with the personalities that leave a long-lasting impression on the audience’s minds. The definition of the quintessential Bollywood villain has changed and so have the sidekicks who often are known as ‘Bhai ka Aadmi’ / Punters / Tapori’s who possessed names that evoked laughter at times and made us wonder how on earth would’ve got that name or is it their nickname or real name? Nevertheless, it would have taken a lot of effort to choose those ‘Bhai Ka Aadmi’s names who despite having a short screen time made it count. Bole Toh… some of the common punter names that we noticed in many Bollywood films from the 90s to date are as follows…
Munna Mobile, Pappu Pager, Babloo Barood, Bablu Bevda, Babu Chhabri, Babu Baatli, Babu Kaaniya, Haneef Hatela, Chota Chakku, Chota Chhatri, Chaman Chikna, Diesel Bhai, Faiyyaz Takkar, Chota Shupari, Chhappan Tikli, Chaman Charsi, Short Circuit, Mukut Bihari, Yeda Anna, Pappu Kangi, Guru Gulab, Gullu Gotiya, Dagdu Dhakkan, Kallu Kekda, Halkat Pintu, Eda Dhokla, Pappu Pehelwaan, Pinki Patakha, Rambo Rifle, Tempo Dada, Ujda Chaman…
