Editing Dev Anand (section)

===Romantic hero image in the 1960s===
In the sixties, Dev Anand acquired a romantic image with films such as ''[[Manzil (1960 film)|Manzil]]'' and ''[[Tere Ghar Ke Samne]]'' with [[Nutan]], ''[[Kinare Kinare]]'' with [[Meena Kumari]], ''[[Maya (1961 film)|Maya]]'' with [[Mala Sinha]], ''[[Asli-Naqli]]'' with [[Sadhana Shivdasani]], ''[[Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai]]'', ''[[Mahal (1969 film)|Mahal]]'' with [[Asha Parekh]] and ''[[Teen Devian|Teen Deviyaan]]'' opposite three heroines [[Kalpana (Hindi Film actress)|Kalpana]], [[Simi Garewal]] and [[Nanda (actress)|Nanda]]. In the film ''[[Teen Devian|Teen Deviyaan]]'', Dev Anand played a playboy. One of his notable films of the early sixties was ''[[Hum Dono (1961 film)|Hum Dono]]'' (1961) which he produced and acted in, as Anand, a young lover who joins the army in frustration over being shunned by the father of his love Meeta (played by Sadhana Shivdasani). Anand played a double role in the film, also acting as Major Varma, his look-alike who he runs into in the army and forms a deep friendship. Notable for its music by [[Jaidev]], the film was a box office hit.
 
His first colour film, ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'' with [[Waheeda Rehman]] was based on the novel of the same name by [[R. K. Narayan]]. Dev Anand himself was the impetus for making the film version of the book. He met and persuaded Narayan to give his assent to the project.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2008-01-20/news/28410009_1_lifetime-achievement-award-dev-anand-silicon-city |title=Dev Anand honored |publisher=The Economic Times |access-date=14 November 2011 |date=20 January 2008 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120709204435/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2008-01-20/news/28410009_1_lifetime-achievement-award-dev-anand-silicon-city |archive-date=9 July 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Dev Anand tapped his friends in Hollywood to launch an Indo-US co-production that was shot in Hindi and [[English language|English]] simultaneously and was released in 1965. ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'', directed by younger brother Vijay Anand, was an acclaimed movie. Dev played Raju, a voluble guide, who supports Rosy (Waheeda) in her bid for freedom.  He is not above thoughtlessly exploiting her for personal gains. Combining style with substance, he gave an affecting performance as a man grappling with his emotions in his passage through love, shame, and salvation.

He reunited with Vijay Anand for the movie ''[[Jewel Thief (1967 film)|Jewel Thief]]'' (1967), based on the thriller genre which featured [[Vyjayanthimala]], [[Tanuja]], [[Anju Mahendru]], [[Faryal]] and [[Helen (actress)|Helen]] and was very successful. Their next collaboration, {{Lang|hi-latn|[[Johny Mera Naam]]}} (1970), again a thriller, in which Dev was paired opposite [[Hema Malini]] was a huge blockbuster.<ref name="rediff.com"/> It was ''Johnny Mera Naam'' which made Hema Malini a big star.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.upperstall.com/people/hema-malini |title=Hema Malini |publisher=Upperstall.com |access-date=14 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104001947/http://www.upperstall.com/people/hema-malini |archive-date=4 November 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>
