Mogambo Khush Hua!
Mr. India would have been a flop affair (sorry, Anil Kapoor) if not for Amrish Puri’s ‘Hail Mogambo’ mesmerizing character, which gave Bollywood a whiff of quintessential bad boys and created its first iconic villain just like Hollywood’s much-loved Darth Vader. Look at that old black suit, epaulette shoulders with some glittery crap (including tassels and gold threads all over) and a stick in hand! And how can we forget that almost-blonde wig and truckloads of chunky rings that he flaunted while twisting those fingers articulately when he said ‘Mogambo khush hua’?
Fancy foils and gift wrappers?
This has got to be our favourite Halloween costume. Govinda is beyond entertaining from head to toe in this epic look and if you’re seriously struggling with ideas, just put together a shit load of silver foil paper and colourful gift wrappers. And the best part is? Even men get to cover their chest, courtesy the considerate design of the outfit. Also, you could take it a step further and destroy the dance floor with Govinda and Juhi Chawla inspired pelvic thrusts.
Light up the party!
Note: This is strictly for the real weirdos. So, what if it’s Halloween and everything has put on their best costumes? How about saving some electricity for the party host and donning a jacket full of fancy light bulbs just like Big B in 'Saara Zamana Haseeno Ka Deewana'? Plus, you get a free benefit of getting spotted easily in the dark. But remember that you cannot possibly escape when you create a ruckus after getting drunk in this outfit. See, we warned you!
Ghagra is not only for girls!
Want to express your love for Aamir Khan? Then, how about tapping into your androgynous side with his PK look? It’s time to raid your girlfriend’s wardrobe, fellas and slip into a colourful ghagra. All you need now is a transistor (even a fake, cardboard one would do), a sophisticated blazer and formal shoes. Warning! Just be prepared to get a few judgmental looks as it ain’t going to be an easy ride.
Alien, what?
If you’re planning to attend the party as a couple, then dress up like Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja from ‘Love Story 2050’. Your friends are going to have a f*cking hard time figuring out whether you’re genderless aliens (they could have easily swapped their fancy outfits) or just victims of catastrophic creations from a confused designer. Those tattered tights and corsets along with obnoxious red wigs remind us why the movie flopped and so did the couple’s rumoured affair.
Why dress up as Wonder Woman or Pennywise the Dancing Clown this Halloween, when you can take ample inspo from the most iconic characters we have in B-town? With India hopping on the Halloween bandwagon, it’s time to channel your inner movie keeda and choose some epic costumes from our homeland. But how about ditching those cliché vampire and zombie costumes altogether, and leaving people in splits with a twist of desi tadka? We show you how.
