Zanjeer was the movie that made Amitabh Bachchan what he is today. Giving birth to the ‘Angry Young Man’, Amitabh Bachchan turned into a superstar after this movie. His performance as Vijay was restrained and inhibited, brilliantly displaying his character’s internal turmoil and fear.

2. Abhimaan (1973)

The story of a singer who convinces his new wife to enter show-business, but his pride is wounded when she outshines him. Jaya Bhaduri was good as the wife and Amitabh gave a dynamite performance, first as the heartthrob, then as the lover and finally as the egotistical husband. He proved he can do better than the angry young man roles.

3. Deewaar (1975)

The original DON “Jisko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Nahi, Namumkin Hai!” Amitabh showed all his talents from being a badass cool guy to a goofy paan-eating guy and then back again from a goofball to an imposter trying to be the badass cool dude and he portrayed all three characters flawlessly! Methinks Amitabh was born to play this role.

6. Sharaabi (1984)

He superbly portrayed the role of a drunkard who can also be funny, classy, romantic, and knows how to treat a lady right!
