5 Reasons why summers are the best season of the year

Believe it or not, summer is the best season there is to be outdoors and live life fully. After chilling winters, summers come as a blessing adorned with the hope of living our wishes, contently.

Planning for summer is always fun as there is so much to get your hands on and well, the season lasts for just 3 short months. It is a season to frolic and Dharma movies bring you some of the best ways to enjoy it.

Let’s pack our bags with few Dharma ideas:

1. The season of colors is just around the corner and so is your heart dancing to enjoy the day with your loved ones.

2. Summer brings along with it brightness, awesomeness and liveliness. You can’t wait to flaunt your fashion sense with the summer shopping you just finished.

3. Outdoor sport activities are best complemented with summer. Go hiking in the mornings and swimming in the evenings. The weather and the water is just the right temperature.

4. Night camping and mountain trekking was never so much fun. Grab a pair of sneakers and step out into the world of adventure, only in summer.

5. The best part about summer is – it’s holiday time! Schools and colleges rest. Kids are hyperactive. Plan the family holiday you've been waiting for.

And if you are too lazy to step out, stir yourself a fruit smoothie and watch a movie. A family drama such as K3G or a love-hit like KKHH can be a super treat.

5 Reasons why ‘Pooh’ is the Ultimate Style Icon

 Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was a runaway hit with theatre halls flooded with die-hard fans, in India and the rest of the world. It’s true; no other family drama has been as successful as this one. The glamorous Raichand family has set the bar very high for movies in the league. And even today, 14 years later, the deeply sentimental drama continues to entertain hearts.

Many reasons why this is still a people pleaser. The movie is a stand-alone entertainer with not a moment out of place. The mega-star cast, the costumes, the setting, the London-tadka, the melodious songs, the lavish sets, everything was just so…yum! But what really stood out was the introduction of Kareena Kapoor Khan as ‘Pooh’, the Fashion Diva for generations to come.

So, here are 5 reasons why Pooh is the ultimate style icon.

1. She is the ‘Queen’, no matter where, no matter what.

2. Follows her dreams relentlessly.

3. Does not care about what the world thinks.

4. Self-regard is high up there.

5. And, the world, just totally absolutely, revolves around her.

Well, that’s Pooh who charms everyone around and that is why, even today, we find a ‘Pooh’ in every young girl we come across.

Happy Birthday Kareena Kapoor Khan!

An actress with many personas, truly a diva of Bollywood cinema, Kareena Kapoor Khan has shown us unparalleled potential in her history with Dharma Productions. Her versatility in style has shone through her characters in numerous blockbuster films with us. It is with great pride that we would like to wish Bebo a very Happy Birthday!

We see her make her debut in Dharma films in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...’ as Poo, a popular fashion-obsessed diva and a student at King's College London. We see the passionate side of Bebo in ‘Kurbaan’ where she plays the role of Avantika Ahuja, who falls in love with Ehsaan Khan played by Saif Ali Khan. In ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’ Kareena plays Riana Braganza, a hairstylist who tries to add zing to Rahul Kapoor's (Imran Khan) monotonous life following their marriage. Her character is a strong confident woman who knows exactly what she is doing. Even though she does not have a house or a job, she is a positive person... very similar to the way she is in real life. And let’s not overlook that unforgettable role as Dia Sharma in ‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’. Her social work for the betterment of our society, especially the less fortunate also resonates in her real life .

We at Dharma Productions are tremendously honored to have worked with such a versatile and talented actor! Once again we wish Kareena a very Happy and joyous Birthday and many years of great acting ahead! Why don’t you join us in the celebration and let us know your favorite Bebo moments in our movies in the comments below…

Nandini Raichand - The Ideal Indian wife

In a relationship, we tend to argue but sooner or later leave all our differences behind and make peace with each other. Yes, the relationships we build with our family, our friends, our partners are the ones which eventually make us complete.

For Nandini Raichand, her family was her life and loving them was her ultimate goal in life. She loved her husband, Yashvardhan and both her sons, Rahul & Rohan. Where Nandini was warm and respected her children’s decision, Yashvardhan was more of an authoritative person and always wanted his family to follow the rules and traditions set by his forefathers. When Rahul married Anjali without Yashvardhan’s consent, Yashvardhan abandoned them. Nandini was heartbroken yet followed Yashvardhan’s decision. Her burst of anger is summarized perfectly in one line she says; “Mera pati sirf pati hai, parmeshwar nahi”. That one line makes her husband realize what he has done. No theatrics, no arguments and no passive aggressive statements, just one heartfelt emotional line.

Relationships are not war, nor are they competitions where there will be one winner and one loser, relationships are a combination of love, companionship, trust and above all honesty. It’s the honesty Nandani and Yash have in their relationship that makes it one of the best on-screen husband and wife portrayal. It helped that it was played by one of the greatest real life couples of Bollywood, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. What do you think? What is the most important thing in a relationship?

A day to celebrate the rock solid man in our lives!

A father, a word, a person, a thought, a belief, a support system for life & the reason for being alive! We may not speak much to our father, we may be scared to share things with him because of the disciplined role that he plays in our lives… But, he is our hero, our role model. We learn how to be strong, how to face the difficulties in our lives & how to come out of them victorious!

Father – a man who strives hard to give us a better life in terms of living, education, qualities that make us a better person… & in return, expects nothing but love & respect, not just for him but for everyone who helps us grow as an individual! He is our best teacher, a perfect guide, a true friend & a thoughtful philosopher.

The role of a father played by the superstars in any Dharma movie have left us with an impact forever! Be it Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Yash Raichand from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, these characters have thought how a father can be your best friend & can also be stern so that we learn & grow better!

On this special day, be sure to give your father an extra big hug and tell him how much you love him :)
