Bachchan made his debut in Saat Hindustani, released in 1969. But the movie failed at the box office – as did his next ten. Any other actor in such a situation would have been confined to the dustbin of history but a small, influential group of film people had noticed – even in his flop films – a special spark in Bachchan.
