April 7, 2011 marks the 69th birthday of one of India’s favourite Bollywood actors, Jeetendra.

From the 60s to the 80s, Jeetendra wowed the audiences with his good looks, his energetic and enthusiastic dance moves and his style of acting! Jeetendra established the tradition of a dancing hero in Bollywood!

The 70s were a successful period for Jeetendra and further established his superstar status, with romantic dramas like Humjoli and family drama’s like Swarg Narak as well as his most critically acclaimed work, with films such as Gulzar’s Parichaay and Khushboo.

Then followed the 80s with blockbusters like Himmatwala and Mawaali. These southern style films usually had Jeetendra paired alongside Sridevi or Jaya Parda, as well as music by Bappi Lahiri. These films became a winning box office formula, making Jeetendra, with his leather jackets, neatly pressed trousers, aviators, slim fitting shirts tucked into slim fitting trousers, and a pencil moustache, one of the most bankable stars in 80’s Bollywood.

On the occasion of Jeetendra’s birthday, Sahara One brings you a selection of the best of Jeetendra’s films in a week long festival!
