Pran, a legend in Indian movies, had a long career, from the 1930s to the 1990s – over fifty years! He became one of Bollywood's most famous bad guys. But he was more than that; he was a great actor who gave amazing performances. His characters were scary and cruel, but also interesting and unforgettable. He acted in over 400 movies, showing his skill. He played great villains in movies like "Madhumati" (1958) and "Upkar" (1967), but he was much more than just a "villain." He made even the worst characters seem real and deep. His acting often outshone others, earning him lots of respect. People who worked with him loved him; one said he was like a teacher, mentor, and friend. He could control the whole scene with just a look or a small move – a sign of his amazing talent. His work changed Indian cinema. He won many awards, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1997, the biggest award in Indian movies. He got this honor at age 92, a perfect reward for a man who gave his whole life to acting. His work is still a big part of Bollywood's best times, and his name means great acting.
