5 Ways To Beat The Summers

Everyone has fond memories of summer… from the school vacations, to the family trips that help you see the world in a different light. Often, there are times when we confuse ourselves too much and the summer ends up being a damp squib of sorts. To avoid such a mess, we at Dharma have 5 interesting options that will help you beat the summers in ways you have never imagined.

1. Go summer camping

Head out into the wilderness, and let your instincts and imagination take over. A summer camp is the perfect place to let loose and learn new things that no school will teach you. Appreciate the world out there and make new friends just like little Anjali did in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Seems fun, isn’t it?

2. Bring some adventure into your life

What’s life without a bit of adventure? With summer holidays in place, you have all the time in the world to give way to your adventurous self. Not only will it refresh you, but the experience of thrill will make you fall in love with life once again. And just in case you doubt us, ask Bunny, Avi, Aditi and Naina from ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ how much fun they had during their hiking trip in Manali.

3. Learn a new skill

Sure, summer is the time to be a free bird; but, some time can also be put aside for learning something new. Take up a hobby like painting, photography, etc. and nurture it, you may never know how it helps you in life. Who better than our very own Sid to tell you about that?

4. Try revamping yourself

Tired of the same old look and feel of the past year? Summers are the perfect time to get in on the act and change things around – be it your look, or your wardrobe. With vacation time, you can look into the latest developments in the fashion circuit and become a new and improved version. And inspiration is always nearby when Gippi is around.

5. Join in the celebrations

With summer holidays going on, most families term this as marriage season. So, if you are lucky enough to have one in your family or your friend circle, go out and have a blast like Abhimanyu, Shanaya and Rohan did at the latter’s brother’s wedding. Take this opportunity to enjoy, as such moments come few and far between.

5 things that prove you are a true Dharma fan

Do you find yourself eat, sleep and dream about Dharma Films? 

Here is a list of how Dharma films have inspired a true-blue Dharma fan like you, made life brighter and inspired you to live life to the fullest:

1. Make you want to fall in love hard: You are a die-hard fan of romantic movies and, for you, no one else presents romance better than Dharma Films does. You have lost count of the number of times you have dreamt of the climax scene from 'Wake Up Sid' where Sid drives down to Marine Drive during the monsoons, after realizing his love for Aisha.

2. Defines your concept of romance: KKHH, and not 'P.S. I Love You', is your definition of evergreen romance. '2 States' inspires you to yearn for your love interest and pursue him/her against all odds. You are head over heels in love with the idea of love in Dharma Films.

3. Feel the pangs of unrequited love: Every time you are friend-zoned and end up with a heartbreak, it makes you think of Rahul in 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu'. You realize that you have experienced what it is like to be in his place, which makes you empathize with him even more.

4. Feel the adrenaline rush: KKHH had made you obsessed with summer camping and had made you nag uncountable times to convince your parents to allow you to go to the one organized by your school. It is a Dharma movie again that had encouraged you to plan a trekking trip with your pals.

5. Occupies a major part of your playlist: You sometimes feel that the songs from Dharma Films is especially made to describe the myriad of emotions you experience. It has one to perfectly describe your emotions at any given time!

Celebrate Weddings Dharma Style!

The groom riding the horse, friends and family dancing away to famous Bollywood numbers, places dazzling with shimmering lights and decorations. Well, it’s the wedding season.

A wedding is one of the most important events in an individual’s life. With life-long dreams centered on the event, they are always a grand affair. An Indian wedding is not just about two individuals coming together; it’s about two families, two cultures blending into one which makes it all the more interesting. And what’s a wedding if not done in the traditional Indian style! Dharma Productions has been the breeding ground of traditional Indian weddings that flaunt Indian customs and rituals with unmatched brilliance and grandeur.

Needless to say, this brings back memories of some of the most elegant weddings in Hindi Cinema. Whether it is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Kal Ho Na Ho, Dharma Productions has been setting high standards for Indian marriages for decades. Their extravagant set-ups, lavish preparations, gorgeous brides & handsome grooms, hyper-excited families, dazzling pre-wedding performances such as sangeet, engagement, cocktail parties, etc. make the shaadi moments, in each of these films, quite memorable. 

                                         

What adds flavor to the weddings in these movies are the awesome songs such as Banno ki Saheli from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ or Dilli Waali Girlfriend from ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’. How can we forget the feeling evoked by the dance numbers Daingad Daingad from ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya’ or Maahi ve from ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’? Last but not the least, the classic number from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ - Saajanji Ghar Aaye is the ultimate shaadi song which has our toes tapping to the music.

                                    

If you've not already experienced what the Dharma style weddings are like, you are missing something!

Happy Birthday Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, one of the most popular and celebrated stars in Bollywood, turned 49 on November 2nd. A large number of his ardent fans turned up outside Mannat (his residence) to wish King Khan. The acclaimed actor made sure he did not let his fans down; he greeted and thanked them for their wishes.

We at Dharma productions had a very interesting and innovative activity on Facebook and Twitter called #SRKTaughtUs. We shared

various inspirational and comic dialogues from all his films throughout his acting career. These activities also gained a lot of publicity via various press releases in the The Hindu and The Indian Express. Dharma presents ‘best moment with Shah Rukh Khan’ spoke about some of the memorable moments we had with SRK. Inspirational dialogues like “Zindagi mein kuch banna ho, Kuch hasil karna ho, Kuch jeetna ho, to hamesha apne dil ki suno, Aur agar dil se bhi koi jawaab na aaye To apni ankhein band karke apne Maa aur Baba ka naam lo.” This dialogue from the film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ is what most of us SRK fans have grown up on listening to it time and time again, and the confidence it has instilled in us.

As a special treat on his brthday, we have created a special playlist with all his famous dialogues and scenes from his films. Go back in time and reminisce about the old memories of how it meant to fall in love with your true love.

Do you remember the young, vibrant and naughty Rahul Khanna (SRK) from the film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’? It was so charming to watch him as he worked his magic on all the girls at college and how he portrayed himself as the Ladies Man! In the film ‘My Name Is Khan’, we see SRK play the role of an autistic person who is branded as terrorist only because of his name. One can actually notice the versatility that this great actor possesses. From doing a role of a crazy happy-go-lucky college boy to that of an autistic person is simply amazing and will keep you wondering, what does this actor have that others don’t.

Join us in celebrating another great year of King Khan and tell us your favourite SRK moments in the comments below.

Be Yourself!

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai…


The very mention of the movie brings back many emotions, falling in love with the characters, those favorite scenes and dialogues, the times we’ve cried and fallen in love with the film. Undoubtedly, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai shall remain one of the most special films to us.

When Rahul narrates the tale of his friendship to his daughter, he introduces her saying,

“Anjali… Doosri ladkiyon ki tarah toh thi hi nahin. Who toh bas hum ladko jaisi thi. Pata hai? Sab ladkiya make up karti thi aur Anjali… Anjali basketball khelti thi. Aur kapde, who mere jaise pehenti thi! Haan sach! Jhalli thi meri Anjali, sajna, sawarna, khoobsurat lagna, yeh sab toh uska aata hi nahin tha.”

Yes, that’s exactly how Anjali Sharma was in college, Rahul’s best friend. Until Tina arrived and Rahul started falling in love with her, just like Anjali started realizing her love for Rahul. And then we all know what crazy things loves makes us do!

Voila! The tomboy Anjali Sharma was all girly the next day in college to everyone’s surprise. She wanted to be liked, she wanted to be accepted, and she wanted to look beautiful just like Tina. But people laughed at her, Rahul laughed the hardest. But he also reminded her, “Tum bahut khoobsurat ho, kyunki tum sabse zyaada alag ho. At least tum un stupid ladkiyon ki tarah toh nahin ho jinke peechhe main bhaagta hoon!”

That’s all about it, we are loved and accepted for who we are and if learn to be comfortable in our skin and respect our differences! that’s the way to be, that’s what life teaches us, that’s what our movies teach us! :)

Happy Friendship Day!

First of all, here’s wishing each one of you a very happy friendship day! A day alone shall never be enough to celebrate all those special people we call our friends who make each day of our life a celebration. We at Dharma celebrate friends as much as we can through our movies! It gives us immense joy to watch Rahul and Anjali fight and make up just like best friends do! While there’s no comparing Bunny, Avi, Aditi and Naina’s crazy friendship which beautifully unfolds the journey of growing up in life! And then, we meet Neha, Sam and Kunal who’re just there by each other’s side and believe that they can solve any problem. But isn’t that true? No matter what the problem is, your friends will always have an answer to your problems- the wackiest, the coolest, the most stupid and rarely the cleverest solutions, but the ones which always bring relief! And when these solutions get more sensible, it means that your best friend is none other than your mom or dad like Naina’s mom Jeniffer or Rishi’s dad Sam! And then, there are some friends who are just there, when you have no one else, like Aisha for Sid and Kaali for Vijay. At the end of the day, talking to a friend about any or every problem of yours just makes everything alright! That’s what Riana and Rahul do, that’s what Simran and Jay do. So here’s our dedication to our best friends, “Jaane kyu, dil jaanta hai… Tu hai toh I’ll be alright! ;)”

Celebrating the season of love!

The season of romance is here, the Monsoons!!! Needless to say, we love the rains as they symbolize the various important emotions in life. The expression of love, happiness, the craziness and the sorrow. It's the ambience that the rains create that compels you to fall in love with them. Whether it's the smell of the first rains or the vivid moods they get you into, everyone simply loves everything about rains. And then, expressing yourself doesn’t seem as difficult as it earlier felt.
Remember Rahul and Anjali dancing to the silent music of the rains in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? Or Aisha and Sid realizing their love, dreams and passion in Wake Up Sid? Even the otherwise reclusive Vijay expressed his love for Kaali in the rains! Then there’s Rohit and Naina, strengthening the life long bond of their friendship in Kal Ho Naa Ho! Ask Simran from I Hate Luv Stories why a girl loves the rains, and she’d say, ‘’To fall in love!”
We agree!
The monsoon is a season that deserves not just celebration, but the feeling of it to sink in! The dark clouds, the rainy days, hot cups of coffee and Dharma movies will do the rest for you.

So don’t miss this chance to celebrate in the rains & get drenched. Happy Monsoon ;)
