2. Rupinder Gandhi The Gangster?

This still remains one of the best movies of Dev Kharoud as well as the film that made this very genre the industry’s favourite. ‘Rupinder Gandhi The Gangster?’ Covers the life story of a gangster that goes by the same name. From a college student to a National Level Sports Player, to an infamous gangster, how the young blood plays its role in one’s life, the movie is the perfect example of it.

3. Rupinder Gandhi 2: The Robinhood

The sequel to ‘Rupinder Gandhi The Gangster?’. It takes the story further and is much more intense than the last one. However, the one thing about Rupinder Gandhi is that it’s not all about guns, crime and murder, it is about the personal side, the unknown side of a gangster which makes it a standout film and a must-watch.

4. Sikander

Kartar Cheema picks up the weapons and turns harsh this time. Released in 2013, Sikander instantly became a fan favourite. The film perfectly describes how crime life is closely related to politics. Played by Kartar Cheema, ‘Sikander’ is forced to answer his enemies in the way they understand. This ends up taking his life at the end of the film, at least that’s what we were shown at the end of the film. 

5. Sikander 2 

Sikander has left the crime world, taken a U-turn from the dark world and is living his life happily in his hometown but as it is said that you cannot turn back once you’ve stepped into it. Sikander’s brother Balli, played by Guri, entangles himself in this web of crime and ultimately ends up being stuck. This forces Sikander to unwillingly take the gun back in his hands and save his brother’s life. The film was highly appreciated by both fans as well as critics.

6. Blackia

Gama, played by Dev Kharoud, is the lead character in the film depicting true gang wars. It feels like Dev Kharoud is made for such roles. Be it Rupinder Gandhi movies or Blackia, his performance makes the movies worth watching. Gama is an innocent college-going student dedicated to his studies but a case of Gold Smuggling fetches him to the dark world and gets him involved in a gang war.
