Rajesh Khanna’s HISTORIC RUN at the BOXOFFICE

Rajesh Khanna, the Mega star of the 70's, debuted in 1966 with Aakhri Khat and it was Aradhana and Do Raaste in late 1969 that made Rajesh Khanna a phenomenon, and he saw stardom that no other actor had seen before or has seen since.

After Aradhana and Do Raaste he had many blockbusters in his career like Sachcha Jhuta (1970), Haathi Mera Saathi (1971), Dushman (1972), Apna Desh (1972), and Avtar (1983), amongst others.

Rajesh Khanna also combined with actress Mumtaz to give the film industry one of the most popular heroines in Hindi cinema.

Rajesh Khanna delivered 14 hits out of 15 films from 1969 Oct to June 1971. It was an extraordinary run because it is unlikely that 14 hits like this will be given by anybody in a span of 21 months again. It could happen again, but not in a short 21-month span. It can also be said that it is easier for big stars to give big hits today as it has a lot to do with initials, while 40 years ago a film had to run for 25 weeks in around 8–10 centers to be a big hit so the initial factor was less.

The Rajesh Khanna run was ended by a film called Mehboob Ki Mehndi which was his most expensive film till that date.

Rajesh Khanna was the biggest box office force from 1969 to 1971, and he ruled the industry from 1969 to 1974 for almost 6 years. He saw a major bad phase after 1974.
