The golden phase - Super Star Rajesh Khanna

A seemingly-invincible Kaka, as he was fondly addressed by the industrywallahs, reciprocated with terrific hits like Sachaa Jhutha, Aan Milo Sajna, Mehboob Ki Mehndi, Haathi Mere Saathi, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Kati Patang, Daag and Dushman. The late 1960s and early 1970s was a golden phase of Khanna's career marking some of his definitive performances proving there's more to him than a romantic hero. Be it as a dying patient's undying zest for life in Anand, a philosophical yet sympathetic do-gooder in Amar Prem, a melancholic painter diagnosed with a fatal disease in Safar or a furious killer on the run in Ittefaq. Though he enjoyed a solid position and a narcissistic image as a leading man, Khanna was happy to play the ethical, supporting pillar in quite a few woman-oriented movies like Khamoshi, Kati Patang, Daag: A Poem of Love, Amar Prem and Aaina.
