Everyone knows how Hema Malini's Seeta separated from Geeta, Sridevi met her stammering twin in Chaalbaaz and Anil Kapoor double rolled Kishen Kanhaiya into one.
But the most famous twin act remains to be Dilip Kumar's fabulous turn in the guaranteed-to-entertain Ram Aur Shyam.
In this remake of the Telugu superhit, Ramadu Bheemudu, the superstar, well in his 40s, plays the gullible, submissive Ram as well as cocky, fearless Shyam with effortless zing and dazzle.
Whether it's facing the notorious Pran's iconic whip or giving the latter a thrashing dose of his own medicine, the actor took a welcome break from heavy-duty dramas, to have the audience firmly rooting for his nutty dual avatar. And having pretty women like Waheeda Rehman and Mumtaz, by his side, didn't hurt one bit.
