The Amrish Puri & Kareena Kapoor partnership
They saved their best for last — Aitraaz (6.4/10) came 9 years in. From Hulchul (1995) to Dev (2004). The ran closed with Dev in 2004.
It started with Hulchul (1995).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Hulchul; the 2000s to Aitraaz. Amrish Puri acted in every film; Kareena Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Amrish Puri was the one who suggested Kareena Kapoor for the role of his daughter in 'Hulchul' (1995). He had seen her at a party and told director J. Om Prakash, 'Yeh ladki kaam karegi.' That was her first film ever.
- In 'Khushi' (2003), Puri deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in every scene with Kareena. He told her on set, 'Tum meri beti ho, toh main tumse dheere bolunga.' It forced her to match his rhythm, making their father-daughter bond feel real.
- Kareena called Amrish Puri 'Pops' off-camera throughout the shoot of 'Yaadein' (2001). He would bring her homemade chai from his flask every morning. She later said he was the only co-star who ever made her feel like a child on set.
- Kareena said in a 2004 interview: 'Amrish uncle never treated me like a star. He’d just pat my head and say, 'Chalo, beta, scene karte hain.' That’s why I was never nervous with him.'
- Their pairing in 'Dev' (2004) directly inspired director Anurag Kashyap to cast a similar age-gap father-daughter duo in 'Gangs of Wasseypur' (2012). Kashyap told a film festival audience, 'I wanted that same raw tension Puri and Kapoor had in the courtroom scene.'
