My look back at Amitabh Bachchan’s debut film from 48 years ago. I don’t watch much Bollywood these days, but in the 80s, I was a huge fan of Big B, as India’s biggest movie star, Amitabh Bachchan, is often called. CHECK THIS OUT And if you’re in any doubt about this legend’s place on the celluloid icono-meter, just know that in a BBC online poll in 1999, which was clearly designed to get British greats like Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Alec Guinness recognised as the greatest stars of stage and screen ever – they were both pushed into second and third respectively by yep, Sir… well, he-should-be-a-Sir, Amitabh Bachchan. So much was I a fan, that I probably subconsciously styled much of my look on his lanky Lumbooji persona, to the extent that I’m often told I’m a bit of a lookalike. Both now, largely because of the white goatee, and back in the day, because that’s when I was really in my AB-phase. You know I had the same hair, and I tried to dress and walk like him, as you do. And of course I’d seen all his movies. Nearly all of them. I say nearly, because it all depended on which VHS tapes were available to us from the video shops of Jeddah, as we lived in Saudi during that decade. Not every single one of his movies was available you see. Amitabh’s first movie Particularly his very first movie – Saat Hindustani. This movie dates back to 1969, released almost exactly a year after I was – no I don’t actually remember that happening, it wasn’t a first birthday gift or anyth...

Amitabh Bachchan is an Indian actor occasional playback singer film producer television host and former politician who works in Hindi films. He made his acting debut in 1969 with Saat Hindustani and narrated Mrinal Sens Bhuvan Shome (1969). He later appeared as Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee in Hrishikesh Mukherjees Anand (1971) for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 1973 Bachchan played the role of Inspector Vijay Khanna in Prakash Mehras action film Zanjeer.

Amitabh Bachchan's journey of five decades to become the Bollywood "Shahenshah" was not always a smooth ride. Indeed, his life is nothing short of brilliant biopic material. Early rejections were followed by a phase when he made his mark as a promising actor, which was soon overshadowed by the kind of superstardom Bollywood never saw before or after. When the superstar tried his hand at film entrepreneurship, he went bankrupt, only to bounce back and claim supremacy as a super brand and respectability as an icon. The first reaction of the industry all those years ago, however, was far from welcoming. His tall and lanky frame, and the baritone of his voice, were deemed unsuitable for Bollywood`s image of a perfect hero back then. These factors were pointed out as flaws, and reasons why he wouldn't be able to make it big in the industry. Today, he is the face of Indian cinema all over the world, and for decades he has been drawing his USP from those very attributes that were considered drawbacks back then. (Photo: YouTube) The first time he was seriously noticed was when he essayed a supporting role in Hrishikesh Mukherjee`s Rajesh Khanna-starrer "Anand" (1971). Despite the presence of Khanna, the reigning superstar of the times, Bachchan grabbed attention in the role of Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee. Despite getting noticed in "Anand", Bachchan had to see a phase of brief struggle, despite a long list of releases such as a "Parwana", "Reshma Aur Shera", "Sanjog", "Bombay To Goa", "E...

The Piku star retweeted fans' creations including his first solo poster of Saat Hindustani and some rare shots from the film's set on his micro-blogging site. The Allahabad-born actor never looked back post the success of Saat Hindustani and starred in films like Anand, Bawarch, Bombay to Goa among others. But what you may not be aware was that apart from being his first film, it also fetched him first National Award ever. He got it as a Best debut performance. Talent like that is very hard to eclipse by any and soon enough he became the biggest superstar India has ever seen. Also Read -

Premium The making of Amitabh Bachchan: How Zanjeer helped Big B become a star There's so much to B Town's Shehanshah, Amitabh Bachchan, that it's difficult to cover everything about him. So, instead of a sweeping panorama of his five decades in cinema, we cut straight to Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer, a film that gave Hindi cinema a new star – an 'Angry Young Man', if you will. Zanjeer played a key role in turning newbie Amitabh Bachchan into a bona fide star. Amitabh Bachchan turns 77 today. As usual, there will be nation-wide birthday celebrations. Thousands of fans, as is the wont, will descend into the precincts of his suburban Mumbai home with flowers, gifts and messages. At some point, as is also more or less a ritual now, the lanky legend will make a swaggering filmi-style entry in a crisp kurta and shawl – very much an image of an ageing patriarch, as though ‘Anand’s Babumoshoi’ has grown old and settled into a quiet academic life – or sometimes, a modish tracksuit, to greet his devotees. But it’s Amitabh Bachchan we are talking about whose life is a far cry from ‘quiet.’ Perhaps the word doesn’t even exist in his dictionary. Five decades on, Big B is busier than a bee, never pausing to reflect on how the years have treated him. Well, they have treated him swell. Fine, thank you. Reflection is a job best left to others, the chroniclers and pundits. Bachchan’s vocation is to march on, gloriously, in order to feed the desires of millions of audiences who still want a piec...
