Have you heard the sayings about how dangerous an injured lion is? Raghu is the personification of this quote. A ghayal sher, he becomes a living danger for the ones he aims to kill. On the other hand, Sunny is a ghatak sher – a deadly lion who sits calmly until there comes a moment when he is ready to pounce and kill his prey.
Also, while Raghu’s journey revolves around his revenge, Sunny’s journey revolves around his and his enemy’s wrath. How interestingly do the names of their films capture the essence of their journeys – Raghu’s Badlapur (city of revenge) and Sunny’s Taish (wrath).
Both the characters share similarities of being the killers who can kill in cold blood. However, Raghu is a lone warrior and Sunny has the support of his friend and his brother. For this, we can let Raghu have an advantage point, right
The cold blood of these killers has made them so cold-hearted, that it even reflects in their words. Remember when Raghu is carrying the corpses of the people he killed, in his car, and he is stopped by the traffic police? They ask him if he is drunk, and Raghu, with a scaringly calm expression and a sarcastic smile, says, “Murder kele (I’ve murdered someone)”.
A similar moment comes in Taish, when Sunny mercilessly beats up a man, almost killing him. To this, his friend turns white with shock and asks him what if the man had died, and Sunny, with a similar calm expression, says, “Mara nahi? (Did he not die?)”
Well… one should know better than to be in the bad books of these cold-blooded killers. We, being extra cautious refuse to name our favourite among them and will happily hear your verdict instead.
