The Ganguly brothers are remembered most for featuring together as brothers in the black and white madcap classic comedy Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, which released in 1958. Ashok was a superstar and Kishore too became a star but later was known more for his playback singing which made him a legend. Anoop did a few lead roles but will always be remembered for his supporting roles. In this memorable still from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi one can see (left to right) Anoop, Ashok and Kishore having fun.

After ‘Kapoor’s it was the Anand brothers who gained prominence in Bollywood. Chetan, the eldest of the three made his directorial debut with Neecha Nagar which became India’s first film to win an award at Cannes. He was more into direction than acting. Dev became the evergreen hero of Indian cinema who dominated the silver screen from the 50’s to the 80’s and delivered some of the biggest hits. Vijay, gained fame more as a director than an actor with classics like Teesri Manzil, Guide, Jewel Thief, Tere Mere Sapne and Johnny Mera Naam. The Anand brothers shared screen space only once in Kala Bazaar. One can see the Anand bro's together in the still below (left to right) Vijay, Dev and Chetan.

Arguably the most dreaded brother villains of the silver screen where Madan became a known villain in the 60’s and 70’s but gradually moved to character roles. Eldest brother Chaman was mostly seen playing father to many actors and actresses in the 50’s and 60’s. But it was Amrish who became the most popular and is remembered as one of the greatest villains of Indian cinema. The still below shows (left to right) Chaman, Madan and Amrish in different get ups.

One of Bollywood's first family actor brother trios who ruled the box-office in different eras. Raj tasted immense success as an actor, producer and director.
