Being a HUGE movies fan, I love
movies and characters from movies. For me, some movies are impressive because
of the messages they impart and some characters are memorable because of their
roles.
The following are some of the
characters from movies whom I have loved over the years:
Superhuman characters- Superman,
Spiderman, Batman, Supergirl...
Common Man with extra powers- Birdman,
Mr.India...
Brave/Determined Common Men/Women-
Jai & Veeru (Sholay), Aarti/Jyoti (Khoon Bhari Maang), Shashi (English Vinglish), Rani (Queen),
Patriotic Men/Women- Tara Singh (Gadar),
Manoj "Bhaarat" Kumar Movies (Shahhed, Upkaar, Purab Aur Paschim), Akshay Kumar Movies (Namastey London, Baby,
Airlift)
Peppy & Bubbly characters- Geet
(Jab We Met), Munnabhai (Munnabhai MBBS, Lagey Raho Munnabhai), Anand (Anand), Khoobsoorat
(Rekha), Rancho or Phunshuk Wangdu (3 Idiots), PK (PK)...
Serious characters- Dr. Bhaskar
Banerjee or Babu Moshai (Anand), Inspector Suri (Talaash)...
Sweet & Good-at-Heart
characters- Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi (Bajrangi Bhaijaan), Suri (Rab Ne Banadi Jodi), Aditya (Jab We Met), Milli (Milli), Guddi (Guddi)...
Twins- Ram Aur Shyaam, Seeta Aur Geeta, Anju & Manju (Chaalbaaz)
Though movies appear larger than life & reel-life characters seem bigger than real-life ones, they inspire me and I too believe- "Don’t underestimate the power of a common man/woman"!
N.B- This is just a partial list of my favorites and this post is incomplete as many more characters and movies need to be mentioned, which I was unable to owing to paucity of time...Movie characters are always special for a movies fan!
Which are the characters from movies or movies that have inspired you? Please share in the comments below.
I am a big movie fan too. But remembering the name of the on screen characters and not just the actors and actresses is commendable. Look forward to a detailed post about the movies that left a mark on you.

i really like Chris Evans in Avengers. Though my favorite avenger is iron man, but Captain America and Thor seem to be the most with their head. You can watch live movies anywhere with tappp.com using any smart device. I suggest you can try if movie buffs :D
