Feroze Khan's BEST films |
Feroze Khan, who passed away on Monday morning, was known for his flamboyant and romantic portrayals. In the 1980s, Feroze delivered huge blockbusters such as Qurbaani (1980) and Janbaaz (1986). The very handsome Feroze captured the hearts of women all over the country with his suave performances and stylish persona on- and offscreen. His crisp English and trademark cigar made an impact like few other actors could make. These are the films he is most remembered for. |

Feroze played a small-time thief in this movie, wooing the heart of sultry Zeenat Aman. The movie also starred Vinod Khanna. Known as his best performance till date, Qurbani became a box-office success and the biggest hit of the year. Its songs were a rage, and the movie sold the most number of records and tapes in that year. |

Janbaaz (1986) His character in the movie was that of a police officer, who loses the love of his life because of her drug addiction. The movie showed off his mature and able persona and became a major success. Feroze Khan tackled modern themes and set his movies in urban, upper-class settings, as others would do a decade later, but he was the first to do this. |

Dharmatma was not merely a film, but an epic in itself. Feroz not only acted, but also directed this movie. He recognised the quality of Danny Denzongpa and gave him a leading role for the first time. Feroze Khan was generous and confident of his own talent. He used very powerful actors like Premnath alongside him without feeling threatened, unlike modern stars. |

Mela (1971) |

After launching his son Fardeen Khan in his movie Prem Aggan, he went on to direct this film for him, playing Saba Karim with finesse. The movie flopped and was the last of his big-story films. The one regret in his life would have been his inability to launch Fardeen properly, but as a father, he was liberal. When Fardeen was allegedly caught with cocaine, Feroze Khan supported his son without resorting to the lying defence one might expect. |

In his last performance, Feroze Khan enthralled audiences with his performance as RDX in this laugh riot, which was a huge hit with the masses. With his famous dialogue in the movie, "Abhi hum zinda hai", he continues to live in our hearts. |
