Dilip Kumar – as Comedy hero
Kohinoor (1960), Leader (1964), Gopi (1970) Comedy and action were, in fact, an escape route for Dilip Kumar. He was in a dilemma after fielding grim drama.

Dilip Kumar – as Action Hero
Aan (1952) The star-crossed romantic was given a sword to brandish and a temperamental horse to ride. He tells me that he was averse to both. Well, if he was, it certainly didn’t show. From the lovelorn young hero, he made the switch to Jai, the romantic action hero, a tough act which he pulled ...
Dilip Kumar – as Tragedy King
Devdas (1955) This film has to be seen in terms of continuation of Dilip Kumar’s earlier films such as Shaheed (1948), Andaz (1949), Jogan (1950), Deedar (I 951), Sangdil (1952) and Shikast (1953).

Dilip Kumar – as Writer and Producer
Ganga Jumna (1961) Here’s a jewel of a film and a performance that has stood the test of time. Dilip saab’s work in this trendsetting film is a text book in acting.

Raagni
Raagni, one of the most charming film actresses of the 1940s who silently passed away on February 27, 2007, had contributed greatly to the silver screen with her inspiring beauty and mature histrionics.
