Thanks to Tamasha, we all now know how well Ranbir Kapoor can pull off a Dev Anand imitation. Throughout the Matargashti number he was perfect with the neck tilting and hand gestures back from Dev sahib’s glory days as an actor.
Come to think of it, there are certain qualities in our present crop of actors that take us back to legendary icons of yesteryears. Shah Rukh Khan is an absolute Dilip Kumar, Salman is a total Dharmendra and these clever gifs will show you exactly how!
Salman Hai Dharmendra Paaji
No one in the industry can match Dharam ji’s dole shole except bhai. Salman’s style of action and his somewhat stiff but adorable dance moves remind us so much of Dharmendra. Not to forget what they have in common- good looks and a notorious love affair with alcohol.
Aamir Hai Asli Guru Dutt
Aamir himself will agree to this. The ‘deep thinker’ of our times and probably the most vocal celebrity when it comes to social issues and taking a stand, has even done a photo shoot recreating Guru Dutt’s iconic scene from Pyaasa. Though their taste in cinema might differ immensely, their intensity is unmated. No one but Aamir can ever take a shot at being Guru Dutt.
Dilip Kumar Ki Baat Sirf Hai Shah Rukh Ke Haath
SRK is the unbeatable Dilip Kumar of our times. The way he romances hi leading ladies, his yummy smile and his potential to be irresistibly simple and charming on screen, really reminds us of Dilip saab. Bas apne dil se poocho Senorita!
Rakesh Roshan Ki Nishani Beta Hrithik
Not only does Hrithik have innocently honest eyes like his dad, his dance moves and bell-bottoms in this epic dance number is like a real time flashback. Red pants and blue shirt! Now who can carry that off on a dance floor like the greek god himself? Wahi awaaz, wahi andaaz, gazab!
