Released May 11, 1973, the movie starred Big B as police officer Vijay. It was his first blockbuster after a string of flops and after the Prakash Mehra-directed action-revenge thriller, there was no looking back for him.

“‘Zanjeer’ 40 years of release. Goodness… an entire lifetime, an entire change of my world… (writer duo) Salim-Javed, Prakash ji, thank you,” Big B posted on Twitter.

Before “Zanjeer”, Amitabh grabbed attention with the 1971 hit “Anand”, but it was after “Zanjeer” that he became a star to reckon with and gave hit after hit like “Abhimaan”, “Deewaar”, “Sholay”, “Mili”, “Namak Haram”, and “Chupke Chupke”.

“Zanjeer” also starred Jaya Bachchan, Om Prakash, Bindu and Ajit and a nostalgic Big B wrote: “I know I repeat the 40 years of ‘Zanjeer’ … but it just does not leave the system.”

Now Prakash Mehra’s son Amit is producing the remake of 1973 classic, which is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Southern actor Ram Charan Teja has stepped into Big B’s shoes. The new version also stars Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt.

Amitabh Bachchan – Don

Amitabh has acted many double roles in his career like Aakhree Rasta, The Great Gambler and Sooryavamsham. But none of them could match up to his performance in Don.

Akshay Kumar – Rowdy Rathore

Playing a serious cop role and another tapori theif , Akshay Kumar surely has lived and played both the roles to perfection.

Shahid Kapoor – Kaminey

Shahid Kapoor gave one of his best performance playing the roles of charlie and Guddu. He perfected the lisps and stammering of both the characters.

Hrithik Roshan – Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai

Hrithik in his debut movie gave a special performance playing the role of Raj and Rohit. No wonder he became an overnight sensation with the movie.

Sanjeev Kapoor – Angoor

Angoor is regarded as one of the best comedies of earlty 80′s. Sanjeev Kapoor managed to leave everyone in splits. His acting became the backbone of the movie and made it into the classics list.

The post Best 5 Double Roles in Bollywood appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.

Christian Louboutin Loafers

Big B stood stepped out at the world premiere of The Great Gatsby, wearing one of Christian Louboutin’s creation: ‘Mikaraja’ loafers. Though we aren’t really able to feel the look, the superstar definitely stood out. You either love it or hate it but you can’t ignore it. Cost: $2,095 (Rs.113,423)

Palazzos

It’s summer time and nothing better than a loose and comfy outfit, to beat the heat. Spotted was Kiran Rao in tangerine palazzos and a white top, keeping it cool, stylish and so summer-ish.

Where to buy: Available in your local malls. Price could range from Rs 800 – Rs 1500.

Retro frames

Thick framed dark glasses are in vogue these days. Seems like geeky is the new fashion in Bollywood. Rampal was seen sporting dark rimmed ‘Boss Orange’ spectacles in his movie Inkaar.

Time to play peekaboo

The sheer trend is here to stay this spring/summer season. You could either keep things subtle or downright risque. It all depends on how much you dare to bare.

Sling bags

Over sized slings, designer nonetheless, are a raging trend, especially preferred when travelling.
Sonakshi seems to have a penchant for large slings. Even men have started accepting that they need more pockets than just those on their jeans. Hrithik Roshan is often seen carrying one, too.

One color ensembles

It is quite a fashion statement to walk out in a single colour outfit. Ms Kapoor took the risk and she did a great job as she carried off a cropped top and skirt by Nishka Lulla. It made us sit up for sure!

Big chunky watch dials

Gentlemen, class up your wrist with a large dialed metal watch. Take a leaf out of Abhishek Bachchan’s book and you will never go wrong with a watch which is a perfect amalgamation of style, elegance and charm. You can go for something as classy as an Omega (which Junior B endorses) or pick out something nice by Fossil, Titan or even Timex.

Excerpts from his blog:

http://srbachchan.tumblr.com/

“Your name .. screamed out through pent up excited devotees, rents the air .. several others join in … beyond the barriers attention drawing well wishers, plead for a shake of a hand an auto graph … pictures of posters wave in the air … the shouting continues … a few faces somewhat astonished by all this turn around .. a few cameras turn too … and THAT is the moment

As you acknowledge the fans, walk up to them to sign their autographs, shake their hands, wave to the nearest and the farthest perched atop the balconies of adjoining buildings … those that had turned away, turn back .. a smile of astonished contentment overtakes their faces .. they look at you with fresh interest … those Tv anchors that awaited the real stratospheric stars, now begin to thrust their ‘utensils’ in your direction ..

“The scream that went up as you entered … we thought Leonardo had arrived … how does it feel to have so many fans of yours here at this venue”

Their refrain does not stop .. their questions are filled with just wonder and awe .. an almost in denial attitude … “no ooo … this is not happening surely!!”
