My favourite two-hero films of all time- Part 1.

I miss the era when two superstars of the same generation collided on the big screen. Here are my favourite two-hero films of all time-

KARAN ARJUN(1995)

This film had everything a Bollywood movie could ask for. Romance,Action, Comedy, Drama- it had it all. It was a highly hyped release, since the starcast boasted of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Raakhee,Amrish Puri,Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni. The storyline of the film focused on a desolate mother and her two sons, who get to know about the truth about their father's death and vow to avenge him, but their greedy uncle kills them instead. 20 years later, they get reincarnated to complete the revenge. While Kajol plays SRK's love interest ( of course!), Mamta Kulkarni plays Salman's girlfriend. Salman was easily the surprise package of the film. His intense, brooding role made my day.

Available on- Sony LIV

KSHATRIYA(1993)

Honestly speaking, a film like this with so many superstars in one frame can't be made today, like can you imagine Dharmendra,Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Meenakshi Shesadri,Raveena Tandon, Divya Bharti, Raakhee, Puneet Issar and Prem Chopra in one movie in today's time? It was also a rare instance where Sunil Dutt and Dharmendra played father to their real life sons. The film is about an age-old enmity between two Kshatriyan families, over a cow sacrifice. They send their sons to foreign lands to keep them safe from their bloody enmity. Both of them end up becoming friends and a problem ensues when they refuse to continue their enmity. All the lead actors, especially Sunny Deol, acted really powerfully.

SUHAAG(1994)

This film was another big-ticket one, since it starred a good lead cast of Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Nagma. Though it is Ajay who is the main hero, Akshay is more than his sidekick in this film. Karisma and Nagma were more for just romance, though Lolo was the better and the more daring girl. She chased after Ajay's character since she was madly in love with him, and that cinema hall scene was indeed hilarious! The story revolves around Ajay(Devgn)and Raj(Akshay), two best friends who keep on playing pranks on each other and get into trouble regularly. One day, Ajay goes to get his passport made, but he is shocked when he finds out his real name. That night, he sees his mother keeping a Karvachauth and he demands answers. She tells him the whole story of how his father was wrongly framed and was sent to jail. On hearing this, Ajay goes and meets his father in jail and promises to destroy the man who framed him. Raj too joins him in this fight for justice, unaware of the fact that his father too was involved in this.

Available on- Prime Video, YouTube.

ANDAZ APNA APNA(1994)

One of the best comedy films of all time. The most shocking fact of this film is that such a great film like this, boasting of a starcast of Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor flopped miserably when it was released. The story revolves around Amar(Aamir)and Prem(Salman), two young jobless slackers who have been a burden on their father's heads. They dream to get rich by wooing and marrying Raveena Bajaj(Raveena), a super-rich heiress who has just returned from England. By doing some drama, Amar and Prem get into her house, but there is a gangster Teja(Paresh Rawal) and his two cronies, Robert and Bhalla, who scheme to kill Raveena and to take away all the wealth. And another problem is Raveena's bumbling secretary Karishma (Karisma Kapoor) who falls in love with Prem.

Available on- Prime Video, Netflix, Voot, YouTube.

MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI(2004)

David Dhawan's two-hero formula has always worked with the audiences, so it's no surprise that this film too did. However, it's way different from his earlier films. It's a story of two men competing to win over a woman. Sameer(Salman) is a short-tempered, God-fearing simpleton who loses his temper at a drop of a hat. That's the reason why he's been unlucky in love. He relocates to Goa as a beach lifeguard. There he comes across a beautiful fashion designer Rani(Priyanka) and instantly falls in love with her. Unfortunately, along with being short-tempered, Sameer is also a ill-fated person, as he unknowingly ends up slapping Rani's father. Adding to the problem is his new roommate Sunny(Akshay) who too develops a liking for her. Rani is faced with a dilemma when she starts liking both Sameer and Sunny. Who will she choose? The songs, acting of the lead cast and the supporting cast, are the things to watch out for in this film.

Available on- Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Jio Cinema.

HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM(1999)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's second directorial focuses on love and marriage. It is the story of a musician Sameer(Salman) who comes from Italy to India to learn music from his master and starts living with his family. He constantly flirts, mocks and teases his master's daughter Nandini (Aishwarya) and gets along well with the family members. After some time, Nandini and Sameer become friends and over time, they gradually fall in love with each other. However, when her father finds out about their relationship, he tells Sameer to go away and never return. Sameer refuses to disobey his master and returns to Italy. Nandini gets married to Vanraj(Ajay) who also loves her. However, she still loves Sameer. Vanraj realizes that the love in Nandini's eyes isn't for him, but for Sameer. So, paying no regard to what people will say to him, he decides to sacrifice his love for her and takes her to Italy to reunite her with Sameer. Will he succeed? Watch the film to find out. The songs, Ajay and Salman's acting will make your day.

Available on- YouTube, Prime Video, Jio Cinema.

JAAN E MANN(2006)

Another love triangle. After the success of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Sajid Nadiadwala roped in Shrish Kunder and superstars Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta for this film Jaan E Mann. It's about Suhaan(Salman) an aspiring actor who lands in a fix when his wife Piya(Preity) divorces him and asks him to pay 50 lakh as alimony. As he asks his uncle, midget lawyer Bonny Singh (Anupam Kher) how to pay, he comes across Agastya Rao(Akshay) an astronaut by profession who came by searching for Piya, since he had a crush on her in their college days. So, to avoid paying alimony, Suhaan decides to help Agastya in wooing Piya. And they travel to New York, where Piya is. However, in this quest Suhaan ends up falling in love with her again. What does he do next, watch the film to know more.

Available on- YouTube, Prime Video, Jio Cinema, Netflix and Voot.

LONDON DREAMS(2009)

After directing successful films like Namastey London, Waqt:The Race Against Time, Vipul Amrutlal Shah set upon making a musical drama London Dreams. He brought together two superstars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn and south star Asin. The film is about two childhood bff's Arjun(Ajay) and Mannu(Salman). Arjun dreams of becoming a world-famous singer and he runs away from home to London to accomplish his goals. Arjun grows up to be a singer, while Mannu becomes a womanizer who seduces married women. Arjun comes back home to take Mannu along with him to London. There, Mannu's behavior makes him more popular among the audience, which makes Arjun jealous. What does he do? Watch the film to know more.

Available on- ZEE 5

SAAJAN(1991)

This came out at a time when Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit had established their careers as stars and Salman was the new reckoning force. Saajan focuses around Aman(Sanjay) a crippled, orphaned young boy, who is befriended by Akash(Salman) a rich boy. Both grow up as brothers. Aman becomes a poet with the pen name Sagar, while Akash becomes a casanova. Aman's poems become famous all over and he has millions of fans. One of them is Pooja(Madhuri) who is secretly in love with him, and confesses it to him through his letters. Over time, Aman also falls in love with her, but one day Akash comes across Pooja and falls in love with her. Aman is heartbroken when he comes to know of this, but he decides to sacrifice his love for Pooja and asks Akash to pose as Sagar. What happens next? Watch the film to find out.

Available on- YouTube, Jio Cinema and Prime Video.

That's Part 1. Will come back with Part 2 in some time.

The very best of the Showman

Subhash ghai has been one of the most commercially successful directors in the last quarter of the previous century. From Meenakshi to Madhuri to Manisha to Mahima, he had a penchant for M for his leading ladies.Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor and Dilip Kumar have been the actors he collaborated the most with.

Nine of his best films (since its is 72nd bday today) in my opinion:

9) Saudagar(1991): The film brought back two legends of Bollywood together after 30 years. It was a silver jubilee hit and gave the Nepali beauty Manisha, a perfect Bollywood platform. Ilu ilu and Imli ka boota were chartbusters for weeks. It was the showman’s take on Romeo and Juliet. It got ghai his only filmfare for direction.

youtube

8) Kalicharan(1976): After being rejected seven times by different producers, ghai’s script was liked by NN Sippy, despite him telling the producer that it has been rejected by lot of people. The rest, as they say, is history. It was such a blockbuster that it was made into all four South Indian languages.

youtube

7) Taal(1999): As a producer he introduced film insurance policy in bollywood first time with his film 'Taal' and first one to initiate banks to finance movies. Anil Kapoor, AkshayeKhanna, Aishwarya Rai, Amrish Puri, Alok Nath, AR Rahman, Anand Bakshi: with so many As, I believe this is the reason he called his film’ A Subhash ghai film’ instead of his earlier version Subhash ghai’s.

6) Karma(1986): Subhash Ghai made Karma at the time when Bollywood was going through one of its worst phase as business was hitting at low due to lack of content, low production value and video piracy. It was first movie where Dilip Kumar and Nutan worked together and only movie where Dilip Kumar and Naseeruddin Shah worked together. But it was Anupam Kher who stole the show in Karma as Dr. Dang, one of the most remembered villains of Bollywood. Anupam Kher achieved star status with Karma and critics praised him the way he acted in front of the legend like Dilip Kumar.Karma did not win any Filmfare Award because Filmfare Awards were not organized in that year.

5) Hero(1983): Its another brave attempt of Subhash Ghai because in the era of action movies he made a love story with newcomers in his first production. Subhash Ghai used Pakistani folk singer Rehsma’s voice for the song ‘Lambi Judai’ and made a huge publicity of it on radio channels which also attracted the attention towards movie. Anuradha Paudawala also earned recognition for her song ‘Tu mera hero hai’ from Hero and was nominated first time for Best Female Playback Singer in Filmfare Awards. With Hero, Subhash Ghai got the status of ‘Showman’ for the way he launched the newcomers like Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Shehshadri and made them stars.

4) Meri Jung(1985): Subhash Ghai directed courtroom drama Meri Jung for producer N. N. Sippy who produced Subhash Ghai’s directorial debut Kaalicharan. Meri Jung was the first hit of Anil Kapoor as a solo hero which also gave the confidence to other producers to sign him as a leading actor. Anil Kapoor once said in an interview that it was after the success of Meri Jung when he decided to settle down and proposed his girlfriend Sunita and got married.

youtube

3) Karz(1980): Karz is one of the finest films of Subhash Ghai’s career as he took the risk of making a movie on the theme of reincarnation which was not a love story but a revenge drama inspired from Hollywood movie The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. A semi- hit when first released, Karz is a movie considered ahead of its times by many. It, however , was once of the most inspired films for a generation of filmmakers altogether. It has been remade into all four South-Indian languages as well. The legendary duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music is definitely one their top 5 albums and rightly won them the filmfare award despite having won consecutively for the previous 4 years. Simi as the vamp was nominated for the Fimlfare Award of Best Supporting Actress. Simi Garewal was reluctant to do the role of Kamini but she did that role after the persuasion of Subhash Ghai. Prem Nath needs a special mention despite not having a single dialogue.

2) Ram Lakhan(1989): It was a typical Subhash Ghai masala entertainer which has all the ingredients of a typical Bollywood entertainer like drama, emotion, romance, comedy and music. It was the first movie where Anupam Kher played a comic role and won Filmfare Award of Best Comic Actor alongwith Satish Kaushik. Rakhee gave power packed performance in a well written role and won Filmfare Award of Best Supporting Actress. Subhash ghai released an 8-page ad in Movie magazine before Ram Lakhan released.

youtube

1) Khal Nayak(1993): The popular pairing of Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff that featured in the director’s previous films, “Karma” and “Ram Lakhan” was abandoned and Ghai, instead, chose Sanjay Dutt to essay a role that normally would have been done by Anil Kapoor. The audiences ran in their droves to witness some of the Madhuri Dixit screen magnetism. In every scene, she holds you captive with her stunning beauty, demanding screen presence, expressive acting and excellent dancing skills.The song "Choli ke Peeche Kya Hai" picturized on Madhuri Dixit in Subhash Ghai's Khalnayak' was a runaway hit, but as many as 41 political parties created a storm when they opposed the lyrics.
