Tata Play Classic Cinema is all set to celebrate the timeless legacy of Hindi cinema’s original superstar, Rajesh Khanna, with a specially curated tribute from July 18 to 20, only on service channel #318.
The three-day event promises a soul-stirring journey through some of the most iconic films of the legendary actor who reigned supreme through the ’70s and beyond.
In a heartfelt programming lineup, Tata Play pays homage to the man whose charisma transcended the screen and defined an entire era of romance, emotion, and cinematic storytelling. Known for his melancholic eyes, graceful dialogue delivery, and unforgettable screen presence, Rajesh Khanna was not just a star — he was a phenomenon.
According to the official press note, viewers will be treated to some of his most celebrated performances, including ‘Amar Prem’, ‘Aradhana’, ‘Kati Patang’, and ‘Namak Haraam’, among others. Each film has been handpicked not just for its popularity but for the emotion and resonance it still holds with audiences today.
The tribute begins on Friday, July 18 with the musical drama Anurodh at 11 am, followed by the suspenseful romance Ajanabee at 2 pm, the iconic tearjerker Amar Prem at 5 pm, and the star-making classic Aradhana at 8 pm — the very film that catapulted Khanna to unmatched stardom.
On Saturday, July 19, viewers can tune in to Prem Nagar at 2 pm and ‘Namak Haraam’ at 8 pm — the latter featuring his legendary onscreen chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan in a performance that remains etched in Bollywood history.
Sunday, July 20, wraps up the tribute with ‘Dushmun’ at 2 pm, ‘Kati Patang’ at 5 pm, and the hauntingly powerful ‘Khamoshi’ at 8 pm, showcasing Khanna’s understated brilliance in a role that speaks volumes through silence.
Tata Play Classic Cinema’s Rajesh Khanna Tribute is not just a programming block — it is a journey back in time, a reminder of the golden age of Hindi cinema, and a celebration of a man whose impact remains undiminished even decades after his reign.
Whether you’re reliving your favourites or discovering his genius anew, this is your chance to immerse in the world of ‘Kaka’, whose every glance, every dialogue, and every smile lit up the silver screen.
