Dev Anand was the debonair hero who continues to be idolised as a fashion

Dev Anand was the debonair hero who continues to be idolised as a fashion symbol. Every time he appeared on screen, his true matinee idol good looks, dapper demeanour, and charming screen presence had his fans swooning. But he wasn’t only a good-looking celebrity but also an incredibly talented actor. He shared the same dedication to his profession as Dilip Kumar or Raj Kapoor, with whom he shared decades of dominance on the silver screen. Let’s look at his ten best films where he was particularly strong as an actor in honour of his birth anniversary.

Often considered one of the greatest leading men in Hindi romantic films, Dev Anand continues to remain associated with the genre even half a century since the release of films that bestowed this image. It is perhaps unimaginable to think of Dev sahab in any other genre, although some of his characters in films such as Baazi (1951), Jaal (1952), CID (1956), Kala Pani (1958), Kala Bazaar (1960) and Bombai Ka Babu (1960) had more shades of drama than romance. Surprising, as it may seem today, Dev Anand nearly played the lead in a film that is universally acknowledged as the one that not only initiated the action phase of Hindi cinema in the 1970s but also gave birth to the Angry Young Man – Zanjeer (1973).

An Indian printer who worked closely with my husband for many years and became a family friend once phoned when he found out Dev Anand was in London to launch his autobiography. Ajay had never asked us for a favour but wanted to know if there was any way we could introduce him to Dev Anand. We not only met him but even joined him for dinner. A truly memorable experience for Ajay and his wife.

Director Mehul Kumar, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan on the film Mrityudaata

Published

Director Mehul Kumar, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan on the film Mrityudaata in 1997, recalled how the superstar himself approached him for work at a time when his career was going through a difficult phase. In the 1990s, Amitabh hadn’t yet transitioned from lead roles to supporting roles, and had spent a lot of his time and resources on launching his ambitious ABCL venture. In the same year as Mrityudaata’s release, the company attracted negative press for unpaid dues following the Miss World pageant that it organised.

Everyone likes Bollywood’s Shahenshah, Amitabh Bachchan. From superhit films like ‘Sholay’, ‘Deewar’, ‘Zanjeer’ to ‘Piku’, he has left his mark in every kind of film. Amitabh gave new heights to Bollywood with his unique style, and almost every star considers him their idol. But, like every star, Amitabh’s career also had ups and downs. There was a time when his films were continuously flopping. There was a film of that era, after watching which his wife Jaya Bachchan, got up and left in the middle of the screening. People started saying that now Big B’s career is over. Come, know what is this whole story.

Millennium star Amitabh Bachchan is the only Indian actor who can carry a film on his strong shoulders, even at 81. His performances in Kalki 2898 AD, Goodbye, Jhund, Gulabo Sitabo, Badal, Bbuddah…Hoga Tera Baap, etc. are a few of the examples. With his versatility, he turns the character his own and impresses the audience. However, things were not the same three decades back. Big B witnessed a downfall with multiple disasters. Laal Baadshah, Major Saab, Mrityudaata, Ajooba, Jaadugar, Toofan, and Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswati failed to impress the audience. With this a popular magazine declared ‘Amitabh Bachchan FINISHED.’
