Heroism needn’t always be about being larger-than-life. Not everyone can be incredibly strong like an Amarendra/Mahendra Baahubali or flawlessly heroic like a Pandu/Krishna Manohar IPS. Sometimes, the silver screen embraces physical imperfections as a fact of life. In this section, we raise a toast to some of the finest performances in this genre of heroism.
