As we remember him on his birthday, here’s a special Tata Play Binge lineup to relive his most unforgettable moments. Settle in and celebrate Dharmendra Ji the way he deserves, with stories filled with joy, nostalgia, and his undying charisma.
Sholay
One of Indian cinema’s greatest classics, Sholay immortalized Dharmendra as Veeru, the charming, carefree, big-hearted hero whose chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan, romance with Hema Malini, and iconic one-liners shaped generations of movie lovers. As the story unfolds around two hired gunmen tasked with capturing the dreaded Gabbar Singh, Dharmendra brings humour, emotion, and unforgettable swagger to a film that remains timeless in every sense.
Yamla Pagla Deewana
A riotous Punjabi comedy that brings together Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol in peak entertainer mode, Yamla Pagla Deewana follows an NRI who discovers his real family is a duo of adorable con-artists. Dharmendra is at his mischievous best as the witty, crooked-but-loveable father who adds heart and hilarity to every frame. It’s the kind of film that reminds you just how naturally funny and magnetic he always was.
Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani
In this vibrant Karan Johar family drama, Dharmendra brings soulful nostalgia to the screen alongside Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. Playing a gentle patriarch whose own forgotten love story becomes the emotional heartbeat of the film, Dharmendra delivers one of his most tender late-career performances. His presence adds warmth, grace, and an old-world charm that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se
The Deol trio – Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby, return for another fun-filled adventure in Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se, where the family must protect an ancient Ayurvedic formula from a powerful pharmaceutical corporation.

It’s a lighthearted tribute to the family’s unbeatable on-screen bond and his evergreen charm.
The Burning Train
A high-octane cult classic, The Burning Train brings Dharmendra into a thrilling race against time as a runaway superfast train hurtles toward disaster. Starring alongside Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, Hema Malini, and Neetu Singh, Dharmendra anchors this action-drama with his signature intensity and effortless screen presence. The film blends emotional stakes with spectacular sequences, making it one of the most unforgettable ensemble thrillers of its era and a reminder of Dharmendra’s versatility beyond romance and comedy.
