MUMBAI: In a special tribute to yesteryears’ superstar Dilip Kumar on his birthday, Zee Classic is set to air four of the ‘Tragedy King’s movies back to back on 11 December. Unarguably one of the greatest actors of Indian Cinema, Kumar (real name Muhammed Yusuf Khan), will be celebrating his 93rd birthday on 11 December. Over a career spanning 54 years, Kumar acted in 62 films (guest appearance in five), out of which for eight films he won Filmfare Award for best actor, including ‘Daag’, ‘Azaad’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Kohineer’, ‘Leader’, ‘Ram Aur Shyam’, and ‘Shakti’. In 1994, Filmfare also honoured him with the Lifetime Achievement Award. On Zee Classic, the daylong celebrations will start with ‘Leader’ (7.50 am), where Vijay Khanna (Kumar) a law graduate-cum-tabloid editor is accused of a murder while general elections are underway. Next will be ‘Aan’ at 11.30 am, which revolves around a commoner Jai Tilak (Kumar) challenging the regime of a royal prince, while falling in love with the princess Rajshree (Nadira). The next movie to feature is an evergreen cult classic ‘Saudagar’ (3 pm), which revolves around thick friends Veeru (Kumar) and Raju (Raaj Kumar) until the devious Chuniya (Amrish Puri) exploits their relationship for his own needs. The final instalment features the ultimate dacoit saga ‘Gunga Jumuna’ (9 pm). It features real life brothers Gunga (Kumar) and Jumuna (Nasir Khan) in the title role and the story revolves around the relationship of two brothers on opposite sides of the law.
