2.) Jayant

6.)

Alok Nath
Amrish Puri
Dr Shreeram Lagoo
Rohini Hattangady
Om Puri
Syed Jaffri

All in the film Gandhi !!!!!! and all are Bollywood stars...You should have excluded GANDHI also from the list of films

Lakeshore..I think RDB made his singing as well as Film debut in the same film ( if you mean acting ) and that was Bhoot Bungla

However if you want his first film as a music director it was Chhote Nawab

4.) I would take a bet with Achla Sachdev (Jaanwar with Prithviraj K amd Shammi K, Mera Naam joker with Raj K and Rishi K....Shashi K some of his films the main one being WAQT...Randhir K in Kal Aaj Aur Kal which incidently had 3 generations of the Kapoor family in it....and Rajeev K, I am not sure )

1.) Railway Platform (with sunil dutt)

5.) Kala Bazaar (???) ..didnt know Chetan Anand acted in films

Lakeshore,

What are the answers?

Lakeshore...I am also waiting for the answers ...pls post them

Here are the answers:

1) Dharmendra's first Bollywood movie-1959's Boyfriend with Shammi Kapoor & Madhubala in leading roles. Dharam had a supporting role & looked like a bag of bones and skinny as hell. He failed to get any offers following Dhi bhi tera and left Bollywood a while then returned with 1961's Dil Bhi tera hum bhi tere and others including Shola aur shabnam,aap ki parchhaiyan & Shadi and finally hit it big in 1963 with Mala Sinha in Anpadh,with Rajendra kumar & Saira Banu in Aaye milan ki bela and Haqeeqat.

2) Amjad's dad Jayant appeared in movies like Mera Gaon mera Desh,Himalay ki god mein,Sagaai,Haqeeqat etc. Amjad's younger brother Imitiaz also an actor never hit it big like his dad and older brother.

3) First Indo-Iran co-production 1971's Subh-O-Sham with Waheeda Rehman,Sanjeev Kumar and Iran's Fardeen,Movie was a huge flop. This one is as bad as they come one of the worst.

4) Mala Sinha appeared with 7 kapoors in a span of almost 40 years; with Prithviraj in Jahanara,with Raj in Parvarish,Mein nashe mein hoon, with Shammi in Ujala,Dil tere diwana &
Harjaee,with Shashi in Dharmputra,with Randhir in Harjaee & Rikshawala,with Rishi in Dhan Daulat and even with Raveej in Aasman.

5) All three Anand brothers appeared in 1960's Kala Bazaar with Waheeda Rehman,Nanda,Helen.

6) Many Bollywood actors have appeared in Hollywood flicks
including Persis Khambata in Startrek & NightHawks with Sylvester Stallone,Shabana & Om Puri in City Of Joy,Amrish Puri in Gandhi & Indiana Jones & the temple of the doom,Feroz Khan & Simmi Garewal in 1962's Tarzan goes to India,Shashi Kapoor in 1988's The Deceivers with future 007 Pierce Borsnan,I.S.Johar in Lawrence of Arabia among others listed in posts by other Zulmies.

7) Although R.D.Burman made his debut both as an actor & playbacksinger in 1963's Bhoot Bangla,his first big hit as a playback singer was with Asha in 1971's O meri jaan from The Train.
*so Sk is right in his post about Bhoot Bangla.

Look closely and you will see Helen,Pran,Nanda,Madanpuri
appearing during the song Jan pehchan ho from gumnaam. This
is little tricky as most of them are wearing eyemasks.Answer is easier only if you have seen Gumnaam.

so thanks to all who browsed and posted replies.Thanks to SK for correction.
