Dharmendra's first negative role in THIS film brought him greater stardom; story revolves around two best friends who fall in love with same girl, movie is…
Long before he became Bollywood's beloved 'He-Man,' Dharmendra took a bold risk that shocked fans and shaped his career by turning villain. The year was 1964, and the film was Ayee Milan Ki Bela, a musical romantic drama that hid a surprising twist: Dharmendra, usually cast as the perfect leading man, was the antagonist. Directed by Mohan Kumar, the film told the tale of friendship, betrayal, and love, with Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu in the lead roles. Dharmendra played Ranjeet, a man whose jealousy leads him to frame his own friend, Shyam (Rajendra), for theft, all over a romantic rivalry. It wasn't just another love triangle — it was Dharmendra's unexpected turn into grey territory that left the audience stunned. The film's screenplay was written by Sachin Bhowmick and Sarshar Sailani. The soulful music, composed by the iconic Shankar–Jaikishan duo, became a major draw, with memorable songs that remain popular even today. Backed by J Om Prakash and shot by V Babasaheb, Ayee Milan Ki Bela was a complete package — emotionally rich, musically strong, and visually lush. But what truly set the film apart was how it shifted Dharmendra's trajectory in Bollywood. Having debuted just four years earlier in Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960), he had only been seen in soft, romantic or supporting roles. Ayee Milan Ki Bela not only showcased his range but also proved that he could pull off layered characters with conviction. Industry insiders say the film's success sparked a flurry of casting offers — nearly seven big films came his way by the end of 1964. From there, Dharmendra went on to rule the '70s with hits like Sholay, Chupke Chupke, and Yaadon Ki Baaraat — becoming one of the most bankable and versatile stars in Hindi cinema. Now in his 80s, the veteran actor shows no signs of slowing down. After a celebrated return in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Dharmendra is set to appear in several upcoming projects, including Apne 2, Ekkis, Housefull 5, and an untitled Shahid Kapoor starrer. But for many cinephiles, Ayee Milan Ki Bela remains a turning point — the film where Dharmendra, the hero, dared to play villain… and won.
