Career
1960-1967: Rise to prominence
Dharmendra was the winner of Filmfare magazine's nationally organised new talent award and went to Mumbai from Punjab to work in the movie. However, it was never made. He later made his film debut in 1960 with Arjun Hingorani's romantic drama Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere.[40][41] The film largely went unnoticed and as a result, did not perform that well at the box office.[12] He saw his first commercial success in 1961 with Ramesh Saigal's Shola Aur Shabnam and followed it with hits, such as Mohan Kumar's Anpadh (1962) and Bimal Roy's Bandini (1963), which won National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.[42][43][44]
His breakthrough came in 1964 when he co-starred alongside Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu in Ayee Milan Ki Bela.[45] It went on to become a blockbuster at the box office and despite playing the antagonist, Dharmendra got noticed by audience.[46] The same year, he played the lead in Chetan Anand's magnum opus, the war-drama Haqeeqat.[47] Based on the Sino-Indian War of 1962, the film proved to be a major critical and commercial success, eventually emerging a superhit with one of its song "Ab Tumhare Hawaale Watan Saathiyon", a solo by Mohammed Rafi becoming hugely popular among the masses.[48][49] In 1965, he had five releases, out of which Neela Aakash and Kaajal proved to be hits.[50] Kaajal also starred Meena Kumari, Raaj Kumar and Padmini in the lead.[51]
In 1966, Dharmendra reunited with Kumari for O. P. Ralhan's Phool Aur Patthar.[52] The film topped the box office chart in 1966, becoming a blockbuster and making him a saleable star.[53][54] He received his first nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Actor category for the film. The success of Phool Aur Patthar was followed by hits in Mamta, Devar, Anupama and Aaye Din Bahar Ke.[55] He was also given a souvenir at the 14th National Film Awards in recognition of his performance in Anupama.[56] In 1967, he worked in critically acclaimed films - Dulhan Ek Raat Ki opposite Nutan and Majhli Didi, Chandan Ka Palna, both opposite Kumari.[57][58]
1968-1977: Widespread success and superstardom
Dharmendra hit the big league in 1968 with
1969 saw the rise of superstar Rajesh Khanna, who stormed the nation with back-to-back blockbusters in Aradhana and Do Raaste.[61] With his rise, the starpower of actors, such as Rajendra Kumar, Shammi Kapoor and Sunil Dutt began to decline.[62] During this period, Dharmendra and Manoj Kumar were the only actors who remained unaffected by Khanna's popularity. The same year, Dharmendra had a huge hit in Aya Sawan Jhoom Ke and received immense acclaim for his portrayal of a righteous man in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Satyakam.[63] He delivered four major successes in 1970 with Jeevan Mrityu, Kab? Kyoon? Aur Kahan?, Tum Haseen Main Jawaan, Sharafat and played a supporting role in Raj Kapoor's magnum opus Mera Naam Joker.[55][64] Although the film was commercially unsuccessful at the time of release,[65] it attained cult status in later years, with many critics hailing it as one of the best Indian films of all time.[66]
In 1971, Dharmendra starred in
The 1975 Emergency had angered the public, and this helped films featuring the lead character revolting against corruption and establishment become successes. The shift from romantic and social movies to action oriented multi-starrers changed the box office. The year saw the rise of another superstar, Amitabh Bachchan, but Dharmendra remained rock-steady and continued to deliver huge hits.[92]
In 1975, Dharmendra appeared alongside Bachchan in two films. The first was Mukherjee's light-hearted comedy
1978-1989: Continued success, decline and comeback
Post-1977, the quality of Dharmendra's films dropped and so the number of big hits, but his initial draw remained intact, owing to which the flow of successes continued till the early 90s.
In 1980, he reunited with Bachchan and Vijay Anand for Ram Balram.[121] It became a hit at the box office and was the third highest-grossing film of 1980.[95] His other releases of the year were -
In 1981, he scored a superhit with Arjun Hingorani's sixth directional venture
Dharmendra's success streak continued in 1984 with films, such as
After few not so good years, Dharmendra returned to the big league in 1987 by delivering eight successful films in the year.[143] He delivered solid hits in Hukumat, Aag Hi Aag, Loha, Insaniyat Ke Dushman and four other successful films with Watan Ke Rakhwale, Insaaf Ki Pukar, Dadagiri and Jaan Hatheli Pe.[54][144] The good run continued in 1988 and 1989 with hits in T. Rama Rao's Khatron Ke Khiladi and Anil Sharma's Elaan-E-Jung, respectively.[145][146]
1990-present: Final works as a lead and shift to character roles
Dharmendra remained strong in the early 90s and delivered couple of successes during this period, such as
In 1997, Dharmendra received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award. While accepting the award from Dilip Kumar and his wife Saira Banu, he became emotional and remarked that he had never won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor despite having worked in so many successful films and nearly a hundred popular films.[154] Speaking on this occasion Dilip Kumar commented, "Whenever I get to meet with God Almighty, I will set before him my only complaint – why did you not make me as handsome as Dharmendra?".[155]
Since the late 1990s, Dharmendra has appeared in character roles. His first film in such a role was Sohail Khan's Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (1998).[156] The film received positive reviews from critics and became a superhit at the box office,[157] but his next two releases Kaise Kahoon Ke... Pyaar Hai (2003) and Kis Kis Ki Kismat (2004) proved to be huge flops.[158][159]
After an absence from big screen for a brief period of time, he returned with 3 films in 2007. These were - Anurag Basu's drama film Life in a... Metro, Anil Sharma's sports drama Apne and Sriram Raghavan's neo-noir thriller Johnny Gaddaar.[160][161] Both, Life in a... Metro and Apne proved to be critical and commercial successes.[162][163] Johnny Gaddaar, despite failing at the box office, received praise from critics and attained cult status in later years.[18][164] In 2011, Dharmendra starred in Yamla Pagla Deewana and Tell Me O Kkhuda. Tell Me O Kkhuda was a box office disaster,[165] but Yamla Pagla Deewana did well and emerged a hit.[166] He then appeared in sequels to Yamla Pagla Deewana,
