In GIF: The Handi breakers of 70mm

The Gokulashtami festival not only brings a religious mood but also gives a chance to young guys to get adventurous. Yes, the festival boasts of the ‘Dahi Handi’ activity that has young guys getting together forming human pyramids to break a handi perched high. The exciting act have also been picturised in our Bollywood movies giving us the chance to hero worship our action heroes all the more.

Here are some of the best ‘dahi-handi’ moments. Have a look.

The Shahenshah of Bollywood grooved to Mach gaya shor and is seen taking the plunge to be the one to smash the dahi handi. The sequence is from the film Khuddar.

Shammi Kapoor starred in the first and one of the best dahi handi songs, Govinda ala re from the film Bluffmaster. Although the song was in black and white, the energy in the song is visually visible through the actor’s performance.

The shirtless Salman Khan showing off his lean body in Chandi ki daal par from Hello Brother had girls going crazy after him. The fun song had been crooned by the Bhai himself giving it that extra edge.

Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff get together for the fun number Ala re ala govinda ala from the movie Kala Bazaar. The action heroes also gave a high moment to the song when they broke the dahi handi with their heads.

The aah so sexy Hrithik Roshan climbed atop a huge human pyramid to break the handi in Agneepath. The hazel eyed actor surely played the charming and smart kanhaiya in the movie.

The fun song from Sangraam had the iron man Ajay Devgn once again attempting a daredevil stunt for dahi handi. We wonder how he would do it now, jump off a flying helicopter to attempt it?

The only girl on the list Sonakshi Sinha attempted the life threatening stunt in OMG: Oh My God for the fun song Go go go Govinda. The song also had dancing guru Prabhu Deva showing off some impressing moves along with her.

And finally the baba Sanjay Dutt dared climbing great height and breaking upon the handi in Vastaav. The song har taraf hai shor became quite popular and today is played at all dahi handi functions.
