Chetan Anand: The elder brother of Dev Anand and Vijay Anand, Chetan made a much acclaimed debut as director with 'Neecha Nagar' (1946), and is unofficially credited with having made the best war movie in Hindi cinema - 'Haqeeqat' (1964). His other noted films include 'Heer Raanjha' (1970), 'Hanste Zakhm' (1973), and 'Hindustan Ki Kasam' (1973). He also revived Rajesh Khanna's sinking career temporarily with the 1981 hit 'Kudrat'.
