💨 Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of the "Angry Young Man" character in Indian cinema, from Amitabh Bachchan's roles in the 70s and 80s, where the bidi was a symbol of his proletarian background, to contemporary heroes like Shah Rukh Khan and Kannada superstar Yash, who now smoke cigars due to increased earnings.
