Dharam-Veer is a 1977 Indian Hindi film, produced and directed by Manmohan Desai. It was part of Desai'four big hits of the year based on the "separated and reunited" theme (the others being Parvarish, Chacha Bhatija and Amar Akbar Anthony). The movie stars Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Jeetendra, Neetu Singh and Pran. Dharmendra's young son Bobby Deolappears briefly playing the younger version of his father's character.

Dharam-Veer takes place in a mythical kingdom and tells the tale of twin brothers separated at birth who still become best friends when there older not knowing they are real brothers. It also tells about their adventures, Dharam winning the love of a beautiful princess, court intrigues, and has a host of villains which they have to face.

Plot Summary:

Maharani Meenakshi is a Queen who is one day rescued from a tiger by a hunter/warrior Jwala Singh (Pran) who lives alone in the jungle, accompanied only by his pet falcon, Sheroo.

She spends a one night stand with him but tells him that they can never marry because of their different social statuses. He renounces his love for her and she eventually marrys another royal. Unbeknowst to Jwala, Meenakshi is preganant by him.

King Satpal Singh, Meenakshi's brother is told in a prophecy that he will be killed by his eldest nephew. In order to prevent this, he pleads poverty and moves in with his sister.

The Queen gives birth to a healthy baby boy. Satpal takes the baby, minutes after it is born and tosses it out of a window. Instead of falling to its death though, the baby is caught by Sheroo who flys him to his master. Jwala has been injured by a tiger and is being healed by a poor blacksmith and his wife. They are childless and are pleased when the bird brings the baby, believing it to be a gift. They explain what happened to Jwala when he awakes and he assents to them keeping the child and raising it as their own.

In the meanwhile we learn than the Queen gave birth to twins and Satpal only dealt with the first born. He is satisfied that the prophecy has been averted and now plans to help himself further by swapping his sisters baby with his own. Whilst he is asleep though, his wife swaps the children back.

As the children grow up, Satpal mistreats his own child, who he believes to be the prince, and dotes on the prince whom he thinks is his own son.

The twins grow up. The elder is called Dharam (Dharmendra) and grows up to be a black smith like his father. The younger, Veer (Jitendera) is the crown prince. The boys become best friends and do not realise that this is because they are actually twin brothers.

The story follows some of their adventures and their attempts to find love. Veer wins the heart of a gypsy girl, Rupa(Neetu Singh)and Dharam falls in love with a princess (Zeenat Aman). They also meet Jwala Singh who trains them in the martial arts.

Once the truth about his son is revelaed to Satpal, he attempts to get rid of Veer. Before doing so, he realises he must first break the bond between him and his staunchest supporter, Dharam.

The Kingdom has "an eye for an eye" as the ultimate law. Dharam's father is accused of shoddily preparing a chariot wheel which caused a soldier to loose his hands. In reality Satpal and his son Ranjeet sabotaged it. The Queen is forced to chop of Dharam's father's hands in retribution. Dharam vows never to forgive Veer for this.

Satpal and his son then kill Dharam's mother and use one of the prince's royal arrows. Dharam fins this and accuses the prince of the murder. In retribution for the mother he has lost, Dharam demands the Queen become his mother. Although Veer strongly protests, the Queen submits stating that she must be seen to uphold the law or no-one will. For this act, Veer begins to bitterly hate Dharam.

Veer challenges Dharam to a duel and Dharam accepts. Whilst the boys are fighting, the poor blacksmith reveals the story of how Dharam came to him and his wife. He shows the Queen the cloth the baby was wrapped in. The queen realises that this was in fact her own child who she believed to have been carried off by a falcon. She stops the fight just in time to stop the brothers from killing each other and reveals their relationship.

Reunited, the brothers now face the challenge of disposing with the forces that Satpal Singh has gathered together.

The films special appeal is its grand and colourful sets and its sharp screenplay and storyline based in the medieval periods.

Dharam Veer (Serial)

This show Aires Monday - Friday

8pm on NDTV Imagine

In a world divided on the basis of caste and religion, imagine a show that emphasizes the forgotten values of brotherhood and fraternity.

Dharam Veer is a show that highlights the beauty of a relationship based on unconditional love, friendship and loyalty.

A fresh new offering from Sagar Arts, this period drama is a fictional tale of two princes - Dharam and Veer. It is the story of their friendship, loyalty, bravery and innumerable adventures as they traverse the path of life, from being boys to men.

As the two brothers steer through the journey of life, they are faced with numerous hardships and conflicts which threaten to shake the foundation of their strong bond. Will Dharam and Veer be able to safeguard their relationship, as they fight for what is right, or will destiny drive a wedge between the two?

Two sides of the same coin..
Names taken forever in unison..
One incomplete without the other..
A force to reckon with together..

Its one of the problem with Sagar's.....The start of any serial by them is really boring.....

It happened with Jai Maa Durga,now its catching up though not up to the mark.......Also with prc....the first week episode was boring......After the war with yavni the story was really gripping (this is what I feel) ......I hope the same is happening with DV too.....It will pick up later on
