Early career of Amitabh Bhachchan
Early career: 1969-1972
Amitabh Bachchan made his film debut in 1969 as one of the seven protagonists
in Saat Hindustani. The movie was not a financial success, but Bachchan won his first National Film Award for Best Newcomer.
The critically acclaimed and commercially successful Anand (1970) followed, where he starred alongside Rajesh Khanna the First Superstar of Indian silver screen. Bachchan held his own despite playing a supporting role, and won a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for his intense performance.
Anand was followed by many unsuccessful films such as Reshma Aur Shera (1971) and Parwaana (1971). In 1972 he had a hit with the multi-starrer road comedy Bombay to Goa. Then came 1973, and the start of the road towards the iconic status he would eventually come to hold for millions worldwide.
