Dear Editor,
Veteran actor-director Manoj Kumar has been rightly rewarded with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his immense contribution to Hindi cinema. He deserves full credit for converting celluloid patriotism into a profitable box-office strategy.
He remains one of the most prominent figures of Indian film industry. He has been a cult artist and an inspiration for many generations of actors.
Shalini thakur
