About Characters -1

Complementary Pairs

It is very essential to present two characters of a movie differently if they have parallel tracks or if their characters are interwoven and travel throughout the story. It is very important that those two characters behave differently. There should be subtle differences between the traits, characterization, age, make up, thinking and body language of those two characters.

For example : Company, Satya, Dalapathi, Iruvar.

We can see the difference between two characters, Malik(Ajay Devgan) and Chandu(Vivek Oberoi), from the movie company.

                                            

Malik thinks before he reacts, whereas Chandu reacts before he thinks.

Malik's reacts coolly to take his decisions whereas Chandu reacts and takes his role too seriously. Malik is portrayed as a serious guy and Chandu is portrayed as a sensitive guy.

These are how two characters are different and behave differently.

Another example is how two characters in the movie Satya behave. Those two characters are BhikuMatre(ManojBajpai) and Satya(J.D.Chakravarthy)

BhikuMatre believes everyone where as satya believes none.

BhikuMatre doesn't think where as Satya thinks too much.

BhikuMatre is a Jovial guy whereas Satya is a serious guy.

Lot of care should be taken to present two characters differently if those two characters are the principal characters of the story.
