7. Lalit Behl, Mukti Bhawan
What do you do when you know your time is up? There is no rationale or logic Behl's character, Daya, can use to justify his conviction that his clock is running out. He just feels his life has been lived, and that - like his father before him - he is ready to let go. This is a quiet but frequently bright-eyed performance, and Behl is superbly believable. He can be an exasperating character, but he is a loveable man who wins the audience over, especially when he lets life itself seep into his own final act.
