Let’s be real for a second while the hero is busy singing in the rain and the heroine is waiting for her dupatta to get stuck in a watch, there is someone else actually running the show. They have the best background scores, the sharpest insults, and wardrobes that make us want to empty our bank accounts. We call them the villains, the "meanies," or the troublemakers, but deep down?
