The OG BharatAs Bollywood fans of a certain generation will know, before Sunny Deol, Ajay Devgn, John Abraham and Akshay Kumar there was Manoj Kumar. All top Manoj Kumar films evoke the feelings of patriotism, be it Shaheed (1965), Upkaar (1967), Kranti (1981) and the oft-parodied Clerk (1989). More than three decades later, none other than Akshay Kumar gave a nod to Purab Aur Paschim in Namastey London (2007). And these last golden words: “Kuch aur khoobiyan bhi hai hamare paas, woh sab jaan ne ke liye Manoj Kumar ki Purab Aur Paschim ki DVD aapko bhej dunga.”You can only imagine Manoj Kumar having the last laugh.
