Bollywooddeewana’s awesome
Dharam week posts, and
Daddy’s Girl’s fabulous
5 Decades of Garam Dharam post on the occasion of Dharmendra’s birthday, reminded me of my favorite lead pair – Dharam and Sharmila (or Dharmila as Daddy’s Girl calls them!). Co-incidentally, the two share the same birthday! What better excuse could I have, for re-watching some of my favorite Dharam-Sharmila films? They are both so gorgeous and have more great films together than any other favorite lead pair of mine. This one tops my list of favorite Dharmila films along with
Chupke Chupke - both directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. While
Chupke Chupke is classic comedy at its best,
Anupama (
The Incomparable One) is the coming-of-age story of a timid and shy young woman.
