Jyothi Jha of Indian Express wrote, ‘There is a popular saying: ‘ A flame that burns twice as bright, lasts as long! ‘ Sanjeev Kumar is the best way to define the life of the star.
Born Harihar Jethalal jariwala, he is regarded as one of the greatest & finest actors of Indian cinema.
Re watching his film ‘Uljhan’ I found he has a song sequence in the film ‘Muzko to katil hi itni pehchchan hai’ which is similar to ‘Anamika’ s ‘Meri bhigi bhigi si’ . Both picturised in a party.
Also his film ‘Apne Rang Hazaar’ Meri Kaali Kaluti ke nakare Bade’ he teases Leena Chandawarkar.
He was a serious actor & also took his light moments seriously. I wonder why his weight never was an issue.
With Sulakshana Pandit so slim & slender, we don’t even for a moment think that she is too good for him. His face has all the right expressions.
Having seen him in so many films he remains one of my fav. Be it an old man or a younger one, lead or a character role he remains unforgettable.
I wish he had a few years more & we had a few more films to watch.
But then all good things come to an end !
