Men characters in films written by women
What comes to your mind when you think of a male Bollywood lead? A man who is macho, too strong, unemotional, etc. You'll argue not all characters are the same anymore. In the big male driven Bollywood, men have been portrayed to be unforgiving, insensitive and only existing to protect the female lead but we also know that there's more to them than that. Giving a fresh life to our male characters are women who create magic with words. Don't believe me? Here are 5 of our favourite male characters written by female writers that are sensitive, empathetic and loving. Swipe!
Who is your favourite male Bollywood character? What do you like most about them? Comment below!

happy is one in a million. and i’m not saying this because i love her. she is. once someone gets to know her, they can’t help themselves from falling in love with her. that day, when you were talking about her...i realized that you’ve gotten to know her.
(for @southasiansource‘s #SASTurnsOne — Week 2: Favourite OTP/BroTP/Character Dynamics)
[Image ID: seven gifs of Abhay Deol as Bilal and Ali Fazal as Guddu from Happy Bhag Jayegi. They are standing out on a balcony, talking about Happy, and how Guddu thinks that Bilal has started to like her. Each gif has English subtitles:
GIF 1: Bilal looking up at Guddu. The subtitle reads, "Do you want only an answer or the truth?"
GIF 2: Guddu smiling slightly as he asks, wide-eyed, "Let the truth be. Just give me an answer."
GIF 3: Bilal smiling at Guddu, looking lost in thought as he says, "You know, Madhubala...she used to be my father's favourite." [in reference to Madhubala the actress.]
GIF 4: Guddu's expression, listening closely as Bilal talks. The subtitle is a continuation of Bilal's dialogue, and reads, "He used to tease my mother that she wasn't as beautiful as Madhubala. Mom used to laugh it off."
GIF 5: Bilal looking at Guddu, still smiling slightly as he talks. The text reads, "You know why? Because Madhubala was also one in a million. Everyone loved her. Did it matter?"
GIF 6: A close-up of Bilal's expression as he says, "The only thing that matters is who Madhubala actually loved."
GIF 7: Guddu smiling slightly before ducking his head.

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan lekar chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum!
Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyaan lekar chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum!
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehno sikho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna sikho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni bhaayein
Har ek pal ek naya samaa
Dekhen yeh nigahaein
Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum!

Now, someone needs to bring Pedro to Indian Cinema. He could play the half-Desi/half-Firangi half-brother of Jimmy Shergill.
I don’t know if I said this before, but like it happens with Freddie Highmore and Matthew Goode, photos don’t do justice to their resemblance. You need to see a chapter of Narcos and Saheb Biwi aur Gangster returns back to back.
Other Desi actors I would love to see Pedro with: Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt (Since they have been in Hollywood, these ones are plausible); Ranveer Singh (Deepika, why don’t you convince your husband to give Hollywood a try? Or even in Bollywood. But boy, they would have a lot of fun working together!); Shah Rukh Khan and Abhay Deol. (Pedro and Abhay as a duo would be particularly amazing).
For directors, I find Anurag Kashyap; Shakun Batra and Prakash Jha to be more on Pedro’s alley of Indian directors. I would be surprised to see him in a Sanjay Leela Banshali film.
