Yahooooo! No other expletive will aptly describe this legendary hero.Coming from The Kapoor family, Shammi Kapoor had his share of success and hits in 50-60s, although for a short span. Bollywood’s classics have been enhanced with his contributions and his movies usually carry a remarkable magic. Several memorable movies, especially songs are still a popular among film buffs.
Shammiji tasted immense success with ‘Junglee’, a movie which is well-remembered and popularly associated with him till date. In course of his career, serious roles gave way to romantic ones for this actor. ‘Dil Deke Dekho’, ‘Teesri Manzil’, ‘Brahmchari’, ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’ ‘Professor’, ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’, ‘An Evening in Paris’ - are not only his notable films but also well-known for its songs. “Aaja Aaja” (‘Teesri Manzil’) is a popular rock-n-roll hit of those times where Shammiji dances to the tunes in his famous head-shaking style. Many cabaret numbers are still favourites for the remixing heads.
Sadly Hindi cinema didn’t have enough of this distinguished actor. Shammiji drifted away from the screens gradually; gracing several films as a supporting actor occasionally from 70s.
Today Shammiji celebrates his 78th birthday. We extend our hearty wishes of good health and happiness to him. And we hope Bollywood comes up with someone as endowed as this fine actor.
