My Take

What I admire most about Ashish Vidyarthi is his range. Switching convincingly between Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam and more is a craft few master, and he did it mostly as a villain or character actor rather than a leading man. That 1995 National Film Award for Drohkaal tells me the industry knew it could not do without him. His Delhi University background shows in the intelligence he brings to scenes. I have a soft spot for performers who change the temperature of a film without needing top billing, and he is exactly that kind of indispensable craftsman.
