This week, we look back at the 'Angry Young Man' of Indian cinema. Amitabh Bachchan and his persona redefined the image of the hero during the 1970s and 1980s. His films captured the simmering anger and rebellious spirit of the youth, reflecting the socio-political unrest of the time. With his intense eyes and powerful voice, Bachchan became more than just an actor; he became a symbol of resistance against societal injustices. His characters often portrayed a man fighting against corruption and inequality, resonating deeply with audiences and leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema.
