In Amitabh Bachchan

‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ gave Hindi Cinema tragic hero and a legend in Amitabh Bachchan.

The film veteran late Prakash Mehra’s directorial who also produced the movie proved mega hit in Soviet Union.

The film further cemented the partnership amid Bachchan and Prakash Mehra. The two had worked together in Zanjeer, which was Bachchans’ breakout film.

This year, Netflix released its thriller Sikandar ka Muqaddar, an inversion of the 1978 Prakash Mehra’s blockbuster directorial Zanjeer featuring Amitabh Bachchan Jaya Bhaduri and Pran in a new avatar as Pathan who even danced in the movie. While the streaming platform’s offering was well-received, it pales in comparison to the original. Old is gold.
Muqaddar Ka Sikandar was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year—a Diwali blockbuster and an overseas hit in the then Soviet Union. Bachchan fans still shudder at the scene where his Sikandar falls to the spear of the villain Dilawar (Amjad Khan).

Packed with romance, melodrama, and action, the film boasts a stellar cast featuring apart from Amitabh Bachchan and Amjad Khan, Vinod Khanna, Rekha, Rakhee Gulzar.
