Was born in Pakistani part of Punjab. Migrated on partition.
Was definitely not a very good actor. But was OK. Sometimes even good, e.g. ‘Padosan’, though Kishore steals the show in that movie.
Had lot of hits to his credit. Music may be a main factor in his movies becoming hit or maybe luck. Whatever the reasons, was called ‘Jubilee kumar’ because of giving many hits.
Had a good life. His kid Kumar Gourav tried getting in. But disappeared after first movie which was a hit.
Sunil Dutt was in Padosan not Rajendra Kumar !!
sorry... i messed up.
OK! One good film of him i remember, 'dil ek mandir'

mashhooray zamana song
baharou phool bursayo maira mahboob aya hay
yay bhi tou rajinder kumaar pay picturize
hoowa hay.
IQRA BISM RUB
I think he was great in Sangam!
Bhabhi: Indeed.... that song is a classic!!
Lot of hits in his name. "Ai phoolon ki rani, baharon ki malika' for example.
Did someone notice that the tune is same as "Humise mohabbat, hmise ladai, are mar dala, duhai, duhai"?
But I donno which came first.
Now that the guy is dead i wudnt say much about his acting skills ... but in short they were very mediocre .
Has some good n memorable songs picturised on him .. the one that comes to my mind is from sangam ....
yeh mera prem patar parh kur
which ofcourse was rafi's kamal n not his ... :)
