Baabul: Character Sketch
» Amitabh Bachchan as Balraj Kapoor
He towers over everybody – in his thoughts, in his wisdom and in his sheer presence! A loving husband, an adoring father and an extraordinary father-in-law, he always puts right before wrong, never mind if he has to stand tradition on its head.
» Salman Khan as Avinash Kapoor
He may lie to win his love, but would die if a tear escapes her eye. He’s charming, loving and good looking. No wonder, knowing him is to love him.
» Rani Mukherjee as Malvika Talwar
She loves to paint. Loves to fight. Loves to love. Knows the difference between friendship and love and is convinced that love and marriage happen only once in a lifetime.
» John Abraham as Rajat
His love is silent, he expresses all his pent up emotions through his songs. He loses the girl he loves, but is more concerned about her happiness than his own heartbreak.
» Hema Malini as Shobhana Kapoor
She loves and is loved by both the men in her life – husband and son. She may laughingly admit that both of them are “a total loss,” but her world revolves around them.
» Om Puri as Balwant Kapoor
He is the big brother, the head of the family. Tradition and convention are the pillars that support his family honour and reputation and he will go to any length to uphold that.
