Photo Feature: Apne Hindi Cinema Ke Laal
By IndiaFM News Bureau, May 21, 2007 - 05:45 IST


If this picture doesn't make you nostalgic, then what will?

Here is a photograph taken at Anil Sharma's latest film Apne's audio launch party. No prizes for guessing who these stars are. Clockwise from left: Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Saira Banu, Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand.

Not many would recall that once upon a time Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar were the leading protagonists of their era. In fact, we heard that there was rivalry between the two during the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Dev Anand told IndiaFM otherwise. "No... Never…. we all were competing with ourselves. Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar – they all were great actors, great stars in their own place. We all had worked hard and therefore we were accepted. All of us had made our loyal audience. In fact, we all admired each others work and never ever had any sort of cut-throat competition."

Dharmendra can probably be considered as the little brother of the three considering that he is more than 10 years younger than the other two. Flashback to the year 1997 and recall the time when he received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement award from the hands of none other than Dilip Kumar and his wife Saira Banu. It is remembered that Dilip Kumar had spoken of Dharmendra's good looks and chiseled features. "Whenever I get to meet God Almighty I will set before him my only complaint – why did You not make me as handsome as Dharmendra?", said he.

Saira Banu may be feeling nostalgic as well as she has co-starred with all the three veterans during her career.

Sunny Deol who alongside papa Dharam and lil' brother Bobby star in Apne must be feeling great as well. Though he hasn't been seen with Dev Anand or Dilip Kumar on celluloid, he has shared screen space with his father umpteen times.

I think that the old movies were the best esp. dev anand'a, dilip kumar's, dharmendra's and rajesh khanna's....😛

I'm not saying that modern movies arent good but they can never be good as the old age flicks...
