The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is set to pay a heartfelt homage to Bollywood legend Dharmendra during its much-anticipated closing ceremony this week. Organizers had originally planned to screen the classic movie Sholay, but have since cancelled the screening. Instead, the focus will remain on celebrating Dharmendra’s immense contribution to Indian cinema.
Dharmendra: A Living Legend
Dharmendra has entertained audiences for decades with his powerful performances and charismatic on-screen presence. From action-packed roles to heartfelt dramas, he remains a beloved icon in Indian cinema. While fans might feel disappointed about missing the Sholay screening, IFFI’s decision to dedicate a special tribute is a fitting way to honor the actor’s enduring legacy.
Sometimes, even the best-laid festival plans need a last-minute plot twist. Looks like this year’s IFFI will end on a nostalgic note, with a dash of star power and a pinch of Bollywood drama!
For Bollywood lovers, this tribute is a reminder that legends like Dharmendra never really leave the spotlight—they just get a bigger one.
