Indian cinema's dream girl, Hema Malini, turns 75 today (Oct 16). While she worked with several superstars in her time, her chemistry with her husband Dharmendra was out of this world. Here are some of their most memorable movies.
In Ramesh Sippy's 1975 blockbuster film Sholay, Malini essayed Basanti's role and Dharmendra was paired opposite her as Veeru.
The film was a commercial success, garnering critical acclaim for Malini's performance. Hema Malini played the dual role of the titular identical twin and was cast opposite Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar.
Dillagi is a fine example of the sizzling chemistry the two shared onscreen. It revolves around the love story of two teachers, Swarn Kamal (Dharmendra) and Phoolrenu (Malini).
Tum Haseen Main Jawan is notable for being Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s first film together. Their romance is reason enough to watch this masterpiece. It is believed that it was during the shoot of this film that Dharmendra fell in love with Hema.
The action thriller was a remake of the 1975 Japanese thriller, The Bullet Train. In the movie, Dharmendra plays a man who becomes a heartbroken wanderer after he's dumped by Malini, and years later they meet while travelling on the hapless train.
