Few films in the history of Indian cinema have redefined the portrayal of a villain as drastically as Darr (transl. Fear ) did in 1993. Directed by the legendary Yash Chopra, Darr broke the mold of the quintessential Bollywood romance.

Darr performed well at the box office and earned several nominations and awards in acting and technical categories (specific award listings vary by source).

Before 1993, the archetype of the Bollywood villain was somewhat rigid: he was often a smuggler, a dacoit, or a corrupt politician—a clear-cut embodiment of evil whose defeat was a moral necessity.
