Zanjeer (1973)
Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer turned Big B into a metaphor for anger and frustration felt by the man on the street.
In a role rejected by Dev Anand and Raaj Kumar, Bachchan's intensity-driven performance took revenge-thirsty reel existence of the hero to previously unseen levels.
It's astounding success turned the star into a superstar. And Bollywood would never be the same again.
Bol AB Bol: Teja se kehdo uske do toote hue sofe mere bathroom mein pade hue hain!
