    In this special episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we remember the legendary Dharmendra, the hero who taught us that strength can be gentle, and style can be soulful. Among his many classics, Jyotika chooses Johnny Gaddar not because it’s his biggest film, but because it’s the one where she met Dharam ji, the man behind the legend. A sharp, stylish thriller by Sriram Raghavan that explores greed, guilt, and betrayal. Johnny Gaddar also gave us one of Dharmendra’s most quietly powerful performances. This is a tribute to the warmth, grace, and depth he brought to every frame and to the line that still echoes:“Main ne zindagi mein sirf ek galti ki thi kisi par zyada bharosa kar liya.”

    In this episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we rewind to 7 ½ Phere — a smart, satirical look at how reality TV blurs the lines between truth and tamasha.Starring the birthday girl Juhi Chawla and Irrfan Khan, the film follows a TV director who turns a family wedding into a secretly filmed spectacle — only to discover that every family hides its own script. Funny, emotional, and way ahead of its time, 7 ½ Phere reminds us that the most dramatic stories are the ones we don’t intend to tell.
