Kader Khan’s dual mastery of dialogue writing and acting remains a rare feat in Hindi cinema. Before featuring in over 300 films, he was a professor of civil engineering who penned iconic scripts for more than 250 movies. His legacy spans iconic hits like “Sholay” blockbusters like “Coolie”and hilarious 90s comedies.
Tributes to Kader Khan from the film industry
Critics and collaborators consistently highlight his unique genius and extraordinary versatility, which bridged the gap between searing drama and pure comedy.
“His lines would lift the melodrama to another level”
“Versatility is an overused word. Until you think of Kader Khan. He could write searing courtroom drama for “Kanoon Apna Apna”, emotional family moments for “Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri”, and then walk into the same decade as the funniest man in the room.
Rarely do we see the mind of a brilliant author paired with the execution of a seasoned showman.”
