Indian cinema and popular culture are known for their vivid costumes, colorful characters, and larger-than-life personas. If you’re looking for some unique Halloween costume ideas, Bollywood and Indian pop culture have plenty to offer. Here are some iconic characters that will make unforgettable Halloween costumes.
Crime Master Gogo ('Andaz Apna Apna')

One of the most memorable and comical villains in Bollywood, Crime Master Gogo, played by Shakti Kapoor in Andaz Apna Apna, is a perfect blend of humor and villainy. His quirky style includes a black and red cape, black shirt, a single red glove, red boots, and that unmistakable mustache. For an added dramatic flair, make sure you enter the Halloween party riding a bicycle—just like in the movie!
Boris ('Go Goa Gone')

No Bollywood-inspired Halloween list is complete without the country's first zombie movie, Go Goa Gone. Boris, portrayed by Saif Ali Khan, is an unforgettable character. Dressed as a ghost-hunter with his white T-shirt, brown vest, sunglasses, and bleached blonde hair, Boris is a costume that will not only turn heads but spark conversations. Bonus points if you nail his signature Russian accent!
Jadoo ('Koi... Mil Gaya')

Though you might expect Krrish, the first Indian superhero, to be on this list, wouldn’t dressing up as Jadoo, the adorable alien from Koi… Mil Gaya, be more interesting? Jadoo, who has often been compared to "Baby Yoda" in Indian pop culture, is a fun, recognizable, and nostalgia-evoking costume.
