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.

10 Bollywood Actresses Who Would Make Ritu Phogat Proud

ONE Championship atomweight contender Ritu Phogat is one of the most prolific martial arts stars to come out of India. Nicknamed “The Indian Tigress,” Phogat is an Indian wrestling icon, and at just 26-years old, she has already accomplished more than most twice her age.

Of course, being born into a famed wrestling lineage certainly helps.

The 2016 biographical sports drama film, Dangal, was loosely based on the life of pehlwani amateur wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, the patriarch of the Phogat family and Ritu’s father. To this day, it is the highest-grossing Indian film of all time.

Suffice to say, Bollywood is a global phenomenon. Analysts peg Indian cinema to be a near $5 billion industry. Though it doesn’t come close to the $50 billion dollar per year film industry of the United States, Bollywood still enjoys immense popularity for its unique song and dance, hilarious action sequences, and distinct dramatic delivery.

Artistic talent remains the backbone of Bollywood, though, with actors and actresses sharing their various talents. On the other side of the spectrum, martial arts has also played a key role in the industry. Many Bollywood actresses, in particular, are well-versed in martial arts, just like Phogat.

Phogat would certainly be proud of the females on this list. Most of these women took up martial arts for movie roles, but later on continued training for the love of it. Here are 10 Bollywood actresses who know and practice martial arts.

1) Aishwarya Rai

Miss World 1994 winner, Aishwarya Rai, learned karate from Ramesh, a noted stunt master who ran a Japanese Shito-Ryu Karate School in India for over three decades. He taught Rai martial arts for a movie role, and she fell in love with it instantly.

2) Asin Thottumkal

Known as "Queen of Kollywood,” Asin Thottumkal is trained in the ancient Indian martial art of Kalaripayattu. She learned the discipline directly from the masters in Kerala. Like Rai, Asin took up martial arts for a movie role.

3) Deepika Padukone

One of the highest-paid actresses in India, Deepika Padukone took up Jiu-Jitsu for the film, Chandni Chowk To China, where she starred in dual roles of Indian-Chinese twin sisters. Her trainers co-starred with her in the film, including award-winning actor Akshay Kumar.

4) Genelia D'Souza

Actress and model Genelia D'Souza was also trained in ancient Indian martial arts. In the 2011 film Urumi, she portrayed the Muslim warrior princess Arackal Ayesha, a role which required her to learn horseback riding and how to use a sword, a short stick, and the fighting movements of Kalaripayattu.

5) Jacqueline Fernandez

2006 Miss Universe Sri Lanka pageant winner Jacqueline Fernandez is an actress, model, and dancer. Like Asin and D’Souza, she also trained in Kalaripayattu for a movie role. Given she’s also a known fitness junkie, it doesn’t come as a surprise that she would pick up martial arts at one point in her career.

6) Kangana Ranaut

After landing a starring role in the film, Krrish 2, actress and filmmaker Kangana Ranaut began training in martial arts, particularly in kickboxing.

7) Nargis Fakhri

American born Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri is famous for films like Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, and the Hollywood production, Spy. She was previously nominated for a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her role in Rockstar. She currently trains in Muay Thai.

8) Priyanka Chopra

Internationally acclaimed actress Priyanka Chopra is one of the most gorgeous women alive. For her role in the film, Drona, Chopra studied Gatka, a style of stick fighting developed by the Sikhs of the Punjab region.

9) Shilpa Shetty

Businesswoman, model, and Indian actress Shilpa Shetty has been a longtime advocate of Yoga. But she is probably the most talented martial artist on this list. Shetty holds a black belt in Karate. She’s even passed on her passion for martial arts to her son Viaan, who recently won his first gold medal in the sport.

10) Madhuri Dixit

Actress, television personality, and musician Madhuri Dixit, is well-versed in martial arts, having trained in Shaolin Kung Fu, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, and Shaolin Chin Na for the movie Gulaab Gang.

Watch ONE: REIGN OF DYNASTIES on meWATCH or the ONE Super App at 8:30 p.m. Singapore Standard Time (SGT) next Friday, 9 October.

Also, Channel 5 will have the action on a same-day delay at 10 p.m. SGT.

15 Reasons Why Madhuri Dixit Will Always Be The Queen Of Bollywood

Madhuri Dixit’s is a face that we all know. Whether we grew up watching her on the screen, or we’ve become acquainted with her work, now, there’s a part of us that will always love the superstar. Our parents loved her, we love. And dear uncle ji, I know you’re reading, and I know you’re still hopelessly in awe of the beauty that she is, but that’s okay cuz so are we. Here are all the times humaara dil dhak dhak kerney luga because of Madhuri ji. 1. First off, Madhuri Dixit is 50 years old and she still looks like this

2. Her adaayein can still make any man go weak in the knees

Known to be one of the most beautiful women in the Bollywood industry, Madhuri Dixit Nene still has it to spellbind any and everyone.

3. From her debut till now, she’s been winning hearts all over the world While the film didn’t do so well at the Box Office, Madhuri’s talent was recognized by critics and directors alike.

4. She dazzled people with her talent in Dil Working opposite Aamir Khan proved lucky for Madhuri as her performance in the hit film Dil earned her a Filmfare Award For Best Actress. She wowed everyone with her talent and bagged the award in just four films.

5. And then took it all to another level with this one Possibly the most sensual song in all of Madhuri’s career, Dhak Dhak Kerne Laga, was a shining point in Madhuri’s career. The song, till today, is on most desi playlists. It’s in every ode to Madhuri. And it’s a song that every bacha bacha knows. 6. Her portrayal of a courtesan in the solid hit Devdas left many hearts broken and many eyes weeping For a courtesan to fall in love; for a woman to know that the man she loves won’t ever let her touch him, will never be hers. That he will always be in love with the one he left behind. She cared for Devdas and tended to him. She nursed him back to health, and then was willing to give him up when Paro came back.

7. Aaja Nachle was Madhuri’s debut after almost a 5-year long hiatus from the Hindi film industry The film tanked at the box office, however, Madhuri’s performance was appreciated greatly. Film critics the likes of Rajeev Masand said that it was next to impossible to take your eyes off of this ethereal beauty on screen. While the film didn’t do so well, her acting did.

8. Playing a con woman in Dedh Ishqiya, she stole many hearts After another hiatus, Madhuri came back in Dedh Ishqiya opposite industry veteran Naseeruddin Shah along with Huma Qureshi and Arshad Warsi. The woman looked gorgeous in every frame and it was hard to not fall in love with her all over again.

9. Gulab Gang is an all-out a woman-centric film, is also the last film Madhuri has acted in The leader of a gang whose sole mission is to protect women from the vices of society, the film is about the trials and tribulations that she has to go through, in order to protect her gang and the woman of her area. Action, politics, struggle, and emotion. The film was a complete package and a showcase for Dixit’s talent.

10. While we’ve had many films come out, we can’t forget Maya in Dil Tu Pagal Hai The epitome of grace and beauty, and the realization of Rahul’s dreams, Maya was a character that everyone was in love with. Whether it was Madhuri’s dancing skills, her chemistry with both Shahrukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor, it all presented us with one of the most heartwarming stories we’ve seen in recent times.

11۔ Or the absolutely adorable Nisha in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun The transition of the whacky, crazy Nisha from the first half of the film, to the serious, more mature, and responsible one from the second half, was reason enough for Madhuri to justify her position on top of the acting pyramid. However, there was so much more to the film. Character development, emotional fluctuations and working with such a huge cast. 12. While Radha from Hum Tumhaare Hain Sanam completely blew us away p> She was kind and compassionate but fiercely protective of her family. And even Shahrukh Khan’s character starts doubting her, she tried her best to fix things.It was a simple script but Madhuri, Shahrukh, and Salman took it to another level with their acting prowess. 13. We were absolutely smitten by Mohini in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani Source: Dharma Productions The fact that Ranbir Kapoor has had the biggest crush on Madhuri has been no secret. And with a seven-minute appearance in Ranbir’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Madhuri proved why she is worth every bit of the adulation that she garners from people of all ages. Madhuri playing a dancer uses her razor-sharp dialogues to put our hero, Bunny, in his place. And then starts the dancing! Ghaghra became a rage, with everyone trying to copy those moves but there really is only one Queen, right? 14. It’s her style and the grace that she exudes that makes her who she is Source: Boney Kapoor Films From being an epitome of grace in desi lehengas and sarees to rocking gowns on the red carpet, Madhuri is equally at ease in everything that she wears – and that has mostly to do with her own innate sense of style. Oh and the perfect accessory that you will never see her without – her million dollar smile! 15. It’s hard not to be in love with the woman Source: Raj Kumar Santoshi Madhuri has been a part of our lives for so long that it is hard to imagine Bollywood without her. She has proven herself time and time again – through her dancing, her acting finesse, and her charm. How can anyone not love her? There hasn’t yet come a woman in the Hindi film industry that can shake Madhuri off of her throne as the Queen of Bollywood. What’s your favourite role of hers?
