Dilip Kumar Died Today

Rating: 5.0


Dilip Kumar will be remembered as a cinematic legend.
He was blessed with unparalleled brilliance and talent,

due to which audiences across generations
were enthralled in fascination

his passing away is a loss to our cultural world, '
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in deep sadness
also offered his condolences to Kumar's family and admirers

the 'Tragedy King' title came from Kumar´s
numerous serious roles.
In several, his character died as a frustrated lover
and a drunkard.

He also was known as one of Bollywood's
earliest Method actors
for his expressive performances identifying
a character's emotions.

Whenever the history of Indian Cinema will be written,
it shall always be
'before Dilip Kumar, and after Dilip Kumar...'

It´s the end of an era, ' said filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar

we are all very very very sad

I am glad to know that you have personally met Dilip Sahab during one of your visits to India. You have nicely summed up the work and prowess of Dilip Kumar or Md. Yousuf Khan. Call him by any name, he was one and all alike and he remained grounded despite his super stardom.
