ABOUT Sanjeev Kumar
Sanjeev Kumar: A Versatile Colossus of Indian Cinema Sanjeev Kumar, born Harihar Jethalal Jariwala (July 9, 1938 - November 6, 1985), remains a towering figure in Indian cinema, celebrated for his remarkable versatility and nuanced portrayals. His career spanned a diverse range of genres, from romantic dramas to thrillers and comedies, solidifying his position as one of the greats. A Rediff.com poll ranked him seventh among India's greatest actors, a testament to his enduring legacy. Kumar's exceptional talent earned him two National Film Awards for Best Actor, for his performances in Dastak (1970) and Koshish (1972). His iconic double role in Angoor (1982) was further recognized by Forbes India as one of the 25 best acting performances in Indian cinema's centenary celebrations. He readily embraced non-glamorous roles, often portraying characters significantly older than himself, showcasing a commitment to realism and depth. His filmography boasts a rich tapestry of memorable characters. From the Thakur in Sholay (1975) and the lead roles in Arjun Pandit (1976) and Trishul (1978), to his comedic turns in Manchali (1973), Pati Patni Aur Woh (1978), Biwi-O-Biwi (1981), and Hero (1983), Kumar displayed an unparalleled range. He also starred in several suspense thrillers such as Shikar (1968), Uljhan (1975), and Trishna (1978). His body of work, including remakes of Tamil films like Khilona (1970) and Yehi Hai Zindagi (1977), stands as a testament to his dedication and exceptional ability. Kumar’s untimely death at the age of 47 left an irreplaceable void in the Indian film industry.
