<p>For the last fifty years, Amitabh Bachchan has dazzled audiences with his superb performance. The actor, however, ruled the box office and produced a number of back-to-back successes in the 1970s, more notably between 1975 and 1979. Let’s look at five big-budget movies that blew out at the box office and were released during this time.</p>
<p>1. Sholay (1975): Who can forget Amitabh Bachchan’s timeless film? Ramesh Sippy’s enduring action-adventure film featured Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Hema Malini, and Jaya Bhaduri in supporting parts along with Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan in the key roles. One of the best and most significant Indian films of all time, Sholay became the highest-grossing movie of 1975 and is often praised as such.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-104524″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/theindiaprint.com-to-increase-uk-energy-security-rishi-sunak-announces-hundreds-of-new-oil-and-gas-licenses-download-2023-07-31t180355.028.jpg” alt=”” width=”1330″ height=”738″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/theindiaprint.com-to-increase-uk-energy-security-rishi-sunak-announces-hundreds-of-new-oil-and-gas-licenses-download-2023-07-31t180355.028.jpg 301w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/theindiaprint.com-to-increase-uk-energy-security-rishi-sunak-announces-hundreds-of-new-oil-and-gas-licenses-download-2023-07-31t180355.028-150×83.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1330px” /></p>
