There's something about the moustache in Bollywood. Villains have regularly sported them, with or without much success, but a film has almost always gone on to become a hit when a clean-shaven hero has changed his look by donning a suitable moustache for a film.
The success of 'Rowdy Rathore', where Akshay Kumar sports a mean moustache, is the latest in the line of one-film-moustache macho hero-driven hits. Kumar twirls his handlebar moustache and says 'Don't Angry Me' and it's enough to set the cash registers ringing at the box office.

In 'Dabangg,' Salman Khan played Chulbul Pandey, whose pencil-thin moustache turned the actor's career around and broke almost all box-office records.

Ajay Devgn, too, saw the moustache's potential. His horseshoe 'moochh' not only added more character to Bajirao Singham, but also helped the film join the Rs 100-crore club.

The moustache is mostly used for characters in films or as a get-up tool for the hero. Ajay plays a small-town man who has too much pride in himself and the handlebar 'moochh' is a symbol of it in 'Bol Bachchan'. His 'moochh' is permanent but Abhishek Bachchan, who plays the other lead and a double, sports a patch and uses it to mislead people.

A moustache at times was the only spot-the-difference between twins in a film. In 'Kasme Vaade', the negative Amitabh Bachchan had a moustache, and a 'moochh' and beard were used as a disguise by a hero to rescue his heroine from the enemy side.
