Saat Hindustani (1969)
The Beginning
Saat Hindustani (08-Jun-69) Film: 6/10 Amitabh: 6/10
Amitabh Bachchan's first film, he plays a role of a Muslim poet (Anwar Ali Anwar), who is 1 of seven, Indian freedom fighters. His character is one of a coward and is a must see for all Amitabh fans. The other cast is also good however the screenplay is slow.
Amitabh shows his ability is an up and coming actor and as a result won The National Award for the most Promising Newcomer. Tinnu Anand was supposed to play one of the seven protagonists in the movie, the director Khwaja Ahmad Abbas decided to cast a newcomer Amitabh Bachchan over Tinnu Anand.

Majboor (1974)
Majboor not too thrill
Majboor is one of Bollywood's most untouched classics. It is a complete suspense thriller with a flawless story and screenplay, which is packed with equally flawless performances.
The film revolves Ravi (Amitabh Bachchan), who works as a travel agent. He is the sole income earner in his family which consists of his mother, younger brother and crippled sister.
Over a period of time Ravi starts experiencing intense pain in his head and it is later discovered that he has a brain tum-or. He is now worried that if he dies, there will be no one to look after his family. That's when Ravi strikes upon an idea...........
........... Ravi's client Surendra Sinha (Murad), was kidnapped and killed and his murderer was not found. The police, however, had a slight suspicion that perhaps it was Ravi who committed the crime because he was the last person to see him alive. Surendra Sinha's brother, Narendra Sinha (Satyen Kapoo) has offered a reward to anyone who captures the killer. Ravi decides to play a trick in which he takes the blame on his shoulders and gets the 5 lacks so that if he does die, his family will have the 5 lacks to live on thereafter.
Ravi is prosecuted for the crime (though he did not do it) and given the death sentence. Prior to his death sequence Ravi has another seizure and an operation is conducted which surprisingly removes Ravi's tum-or. Ravi relies what he has done and he doesn't want to die. The only way Ravi can live again is if he catches the real killer of Surendra Sinha. So begins Ravi's mission to find the real killer. Alongside him is his girlfriend and Michael (Parveen Babi)(Pran).
Performance wise the film belongs to the one man who steals the show Amitabh Bachchan. He breathes life into the character of Ravi and one is actually convinced that we are watching "Ravi" on screen and not Amitabh Bachchan. Majboor definitely rates in Amitabh's top ten performances. His facial expressions, explosive dialogues.
Overall Majboor is a hands down classic till this day-and the movie remains a suspenseful and thrilling ride right to the end.
