Film career Danny's hotel in West SikkimDuring his early film career, Danny used to practice learning Urdu, the lingua franca of Bollywood at that time by talking to the ocean. The Urdu came in handy in films such as Sawan Kumar's Sanam Bewafa and Mukul Anand's Khuda Gawah where he played the role of Pathans. He started out with B-grade movies such as Zaroorat in 1971, and later moved on to Mere Apne and Kala Sona where he played more positive roles. He then went on to play the roles of the villain in numerous roles. Some of the antihero roles he played were an unscrupulous politician, corrupt policeman, traitor, and mingy landlord. He got his major break in Gulzar's Mere Apne, and later in B R Chopra's Dhund where he played a crippled and frustrated husband. He missed out on one of the most famous villain roles in Indian Cinema, that of Gabbar Singh for Sholay. He was the original choice for the role but had to back out because of a clash of dates. The character later became an icon and made Amjad Khan a star overnight. He is also an accomplished singer having sung with Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhonsle, three stalwarts of Indian music. He has released Nepalese songs and has sung for Nepalese movies. His two most famous songs are "Hiu Bhanda Chiso", and "Rato Rani Phule". He is also a painter, a writer and a sculptor. Denzongpa owns a 3-star hotel in Geyzing, the only rated hotel in the district.

Greatest Character role in bollyhood
Danny Denzongpa (Dhund, Kanoon Kya Karega) If the so call stars are following a trend today – do one movie a year so their so called “quality” shines in their roles and the “freshness” is conserved, I can’t help but smile. Danny has been doing this for years, and that’s the reason whenever his movie is released we are excited to see what he’s playing and how he has played it. Ofcourse he’s done a load of crap in the last 30 years of his career (yes – he’s close to 60 but doesn’t look a day older than 40), but he is one actor who understood the power of withdrawing from the theaters and unleashing himself sparingly. And in these years there have been some gem of characters he has played.Dhund had him playing a crippled sadistic husband – Thakur Ranjit Singh, whose wife (Zeenat Aman) can’t take his beatings and verbal lashings anymore. Danny was still comparatively new in this movie but he breathed such fiery life into this character that even on a wheel chair he would strike fear all around. Notice how he keeps falling into self pity only to unleash his fury on his wife with greater intensity. Dhund showed Bollywood that here was one young actor to watch out for. And we did. We all did.Upon its release “Kanoon Kya Karega” did three things. It showed there was no shame inRe-making a Hollywood movie specially if it was done with the right intentions – to spread the value of art and entertainment of the original to foreign cinema in different languages. Second, it brought forth one of my favorite directors, the late Mukul Anand, who I would say also pointed to the rest of Bollywood that a technical grasp on the medium was as important as the script. And lastly it reminded all, that Danny was one of the best actors Bollywood has. A remake of Cape Fear, Danny played the guy who dodges the cops and pursues to harass the lawyer and his family right under the law’s nose. A very restrained performance, since every dimension of this character would make an actor go over the top (read: overacting). But Danny, as an intelligent actor, understood the dimensions of this character and played it brilliantly. One of his best performances, rent a copy if you get the chance.
i don't think so, otherwise he could not have survive in the bollyhood for over three decades
danny acted in two television Ajnabhi and Ushool.
i like danny his acting seems very natural but what facinates more of him is the fact that he had always carried the tag of being a sikkimese. he had been the sole identity of Sikkim in India before Bhaichung Bhutia came to the limelight.
And When He Married Gawa, A Girl From Sikkim Despite Having Beautiful Ladies In Bombay Was Simply The Persona Of The Man
That Is It ....atleast U Had That Feeling Of Hate. This Means You Have Noticed Him. In My Instance I Love My Sikkim And Anyone That Makes Proud My State Is My Hero Be It Danny Or Even Chandrashekhar( He Acted In The Movie Munna Bhai Mbbs... Do U Recall He Was The Patient In Comma With Beards And Munna Shaves His Beard.)
