He also performed in a few multistar films playing central characters, such as Kudrat, Rajpoot, Dharam Aur Kanoon, Ashanti, etc. Khanna met with more success with critically acclaimed box office hits such as Amardeep, Thodi Si Bewafai, Dard, Dhanwaan, Avtaar, Agar Tum Na Hote, Souten, etc. This behaviour coupled with the changing trend from romantic and social movies to action oriented multi-star films in the late 1970s and early 1980s caused the decline of Khanna's career in terms of box office ratings. Media reports in the late seventies suggested that success had perhaps caused Khanna to be complacent, often turning up late for shoots and throwing tantrums, as well as having a whole entourage of sycophants accompany him for his shoots. Post 1976, Khanna had a string of box office flops, including Aaina and Mehbooba. He continued the magic with Apna Desh (1972), Daag (1973), Namak Haraam (1973), Prem Nagar (1974), Aap Ki Kasam (1974) and Roti (1974) with silver jubilee hits but the phenomenal craze started diminishing in terms of box office results of his films in mid 70s (1976-78). Rajesh Khanna starred in a lot of hits between 19. Several of the popular songs sung by Kishore Kumar in the 1970s were based on Khanna and were mostly composed by R.D.Burman. Female fans sent him letters written in their own blood. Fans kissed his car, which would be covered with lipstick marks, and lined the road, cheering and chanting his name. He was noticed for his performance in his next film Baharon Ke Sapne followed by box office successes like Aurat (1967), Khamoshi, and Aradhana (1969) which were more successful at the box office.Įstablished as a popular protagonist, he appeared in many romantic, melodramatic and social films, often appearing with the same actresses - such as Sharmila Tagore, Mumtaz, Hema Malini and Asha Parekh.ĭuring the peak of his career, he would be mobbed during public appearances. He made his film debut in the 1966 film Aakhri Khat, followed by Raaz opposite heroine Babita, but neither was a major success.
