Filmi Ladies episode 90: The Kapoors: Shammi Filmi Ladies

We discuss the second son of Prithviraj Kapoor - Shammi, a giant superstar who brought flamboyance, giddy delight and uninhibited, joyous dancing to Hindi cinema.

His career can be divided into two phases - his "hero" phase and his supporting actor phase where he played dad/cop/uncle or extremely skilled plastic surgeon.

We discuss Mem Sahib (1956), Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957), Brahmachari (1968), and Bundal Baaz (1976).

What are your favorite Shammi Kapoor films?

Do watch the puppy birthday song from Mem Sahib:
