Dharmendra, the most fantastic, handsome, number one and consistently successful hero in the history of  our Cinema. He has given some of the biggest box-office sensational hits  to the industry and some of them being - Sholay , Phool Aur Patthar , Jugnu , Yaadon  Ki Baaraat , Ankhen , Seeta Aur Geeta , Dost, Charas , Pratigya , Mera Gaon Mera Desh and many more and more recently released Dharam Veer, which is storming the entire nation with it's super box-office performance and according to the film journal trades, Dharam Veer is only next to Sholay in terms of its box-office popularity and super collections . Dharam has given 40 jubilee hits, which is more than any other super star in the film industry. At the age of 42 Dharmendra is still going super solid at the box-office and is unaffected by the bad press that he receives from the media and is still the most popular and biggest superstar of the country. 

Going back to the origin one finds make a fascinating comparative study, Dharminder Singh Deol , a hot blooded Jat from Phugwada came to Bombay in search of tinsel fame, was dismissed as a " football player " by S.  Mukherjee, but eventually become top star Dharmendra. He was discovery of Filmfare but started his film career disastrously : Dharmendra's debut in " Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere " was a devasta- ting.  After a dismal start , with some  more films sinking along the way , he made good . For him , it was a single film that made him big star overnight . It was J. Om Prakash's Aye Milan Ki Bela  , in which he played negative role and second fiddle to the then Jubilee super star Rajendra Kumar. The film proved runway superhit at the box-office and it rolled out the red carpet for him. And it followed   with box-office successes like Haqeeqat , Aap Ki Parchhaiyan ,Neela Aaksh and Kaajal. But in real sense  it was with O.P Ralhan's Phool Aur Patthar, the box-office sensation of 1960s that made him the heartthrob of all. The film proved very important to the career of Dharam in another way, too, for it was this film that gave him  a image. 'Phool Aur Patthar ' cast the mantle of a Tough Guy over Dharam that made cinegoers to swoon his eyes and superstar physics .  It was this image that helped him to retain  extraordinary success and consolidate it over the years. Dharmendra had entered the film line when he was married and father of beautiful kids , though it did not make any significant difference to the his super popularity and his career. 

Dharmendra upcoming  assignment includes Dream Girl ,  Chacha Bhatija , Shalimaar , Khel Khilari Ka , Krodhi , The Burning Train
