'She's just a devil woman. With evil on her mind. Beware the devil woman. She's gonna get you from behind,' warns legendary singer Cliff Richard in the worldwide chart topper.

He could well be describing the seductive sirens on celluloid and how their irresistible spells are smooth schemes to draw and defeat the unsuspecting hero.  

Following that tradition, Kangna Ranaut is making heads turn with her devilish make-up and tight-fitting bodysuit to play Kaya, a deceiving mutant out to bait Hrithik Roshan's superhero in Rakesh Roshan's hugely-hyped Krrish 3.

Like her, hate her, you simply cannot ignore the virulent vixens of Bollywood.

Take a look at the Bollywood's HOTTEST femme fatales.

 

Bipasha Basu, Raaz 3

Ambition gets the better of Bipasha Basu after she agrees to engage in witchcraft in order to retrieve her numero uno status in the film industry. 

From wreaking havoc on her rival's (Esha Gupta) psychology to seducing a reluctant filmmaker into becoming her accomplice, Bips in Raaz 3 is unapologetically dark and deadly.

Jacquline Fernandez, Race 2

The Race franchise is all about relentless twists and turns. 

And Jacquline Fernandez's sassy, sexy turn as the mastermind's arm candy packs in enough deception and smarts to keep the charade going.

Katrina Kaif in Race

When the first Race came out, nobody expected the doe-eyed Katrina Kaif to be the face of treachery.

Her about -face provided Abbas-Mustan's otherwise silly thriller with one of its few surprises. And Kats played the sly hottie to the hilt. Will Dhoom 3 be an exercise in encore? 

Priyanka Chopra in 7 Khoon Maaf

In Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of Ruskin Bond's Sussana's Seven Husbands, a striking Priyanka Chopra finds reason after reason after reason to kill her significant other/s in the most dramatic, creative manner. 

It takes six murders for PC to discover her true love and the audience to declare it as the most bizarre movie of that year. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Khakee

"Yeh neeli aankhen marvayengi," foretells a smitten Akshay Kumar in the cop drama, Khakee.

If only he knew Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not some innocent damsel he's taken the bullet for but an equally dangerous ally of a deranged terrorist. 

Vidya Balan in Ishqiya

Ishqiya explores the intriguing space between black and white. 

 And Vidya Balan embraces these 50 shades of grey with relish to convey the spurned woman who'll go any lengths to have her revenge.

Mahie Gill in Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster

Using sex like a weapon and motivated by undue neglect, Mahie Gill's enigmatic Biwi is more deadly than drunk. 

 Gill underscores her foxy reputation in both SBAG and its shrewder sequel. 

Konkona Sen Sharma, Ek Thi Daayan

Konkona Sen Sharma's brilliance shines even when she's terrorising the daylights out of a little boy in the underwhelming horror, Ek Thi Daayan.

Her portrayal of the wicked, WICKED witch in an adaptation of her father Mukul Sharma's short story, is quite easily the saving grace in what's the epitome of what-could-have-been. 

Urmila Matondkar, Karzzz

After showing her sharp claws in films like Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and Kaun, Urmila Matondkar exudes a jaded version of her Rangeela oomph to trap and trample Dino Morea's dapper billionaire.

And then face the nasal wrath of his reincarnated avatar as Himmesh Reshammiya. 

Tabu, Maqbool

Tabu essays the complex character of a woman who prods her lover to kill her husband in the desi version of Macbeth.

It takes a talent of her scale to express the fine fibres of guilt in one of the most memorable films of her career. 

Kareena Kapoor, Fida

Betrayal isn't a trait one associates with the vibrant Kareena Kapoor on or off screen. 

And so it came as quite a shock for fans to see their playful heroine in the role of a conniving minx who plots against (then boyfriend) Shahid Kapur with partner in crime and more, Fardeen Khan.
