TOP 10: The double troubles we love

Presenting our list of our ten favourite movies that had protagonists playing dual roles

By Abhishek Mande . Buzz18 Feb 17, 2008

Not very often do films with protagonists playing double roles hit the screens on the same day. So it was quite unusual when Mithya and Superstar had a simultaneous release. While Mithya stars Ranvir Shorey in a double role, Kunal Khemu does a double take in Superstar. We bring you the ten double trouble films we simply enjoyed watching.

Dilip Kumar's Ram Aur Shyam is unarguably the I-Ching of double role films in Bollywood. Based on Alexander Dumas' The Corsican Brothers, it tells the story of twin brothers separated at birth. Pran plays the tyrant while Leela Mishra and Waheeda Rehman play the respective love interests of the two brothers. Ram Aur Shyam may not exactly strike a chord with today's audiences but the film inspired a string of 'remakes' right from Seeta Aur Geeta and Chaalbaaz to Kishen Kanhaiya and Judwaa.
