Akbar Bhai’s introduction in the movie surprises us all as we see Nivin in a rugged look for the first time. Through Mulla’s journey, we learn that Bhai controls the dark underworld of Mumbai. Only when we get to see Akbar we believe in the hype around his character. Mulla is taken aback by the monstrous dark energy surrounding his brother and his brother’s minions.

#2 Mulla’s Moothon

One of the best scenes by Nivin in Moothon is when Mulla – his brother in the movie, narrates stories of Akbar Bhai’s past to him. Bhai realises that Mulla is actually searching for his old self in him – someone who he isn’t anymore since the time he ran away from the island. Although, Bhai is haunted by the danger he poses to Mulla, and always worries about saving him. After all, he still has a soft corner for his brother.

#3 Ameer’s Love

Mulla’s search reminds Bhai of his past life on the island. He remembers all their beautiful rituals and his lover Ameer. When Akbar understands of Ameer’s love for him, he finally starts to accept himself. In one such scene, Akbar is seen looking in the mirror and smiling from the bottom of his heart to himself. We all were left amused by Nivin’s sudden transformation from Bhai to Akbar in Moothon and the scene truly touched all our hearts.

#4 Wake Up The Monster

Mulla confronts a drugged-out Bhai who is unable to focus on their conversation. Nivin amazed us in this scene as he starts telling Mulla about his life as a gangster in Mumbai. We were definitely scared when Bhai explained his origins to Mulla. This scene by Nivin in the movie is what surprised all of us who are used to seeing him playing romantic roles otherwise.

#5 Akbar’s Past
