Even though Amitabh maybe India's all time great actor, his initial success period as a leading hero seems to be short, only 11 years, from Zanjeer 1973 to Sharaabi 1984, prior to Zanjeer he was not a hit hero and after Sharaabi 1984, he had many flops, infact the period between 1985-1990 was horrible for him with mostly flop movies.

It is only in the 2000's he actually regained his success with character actor roles

know granted in those days 11 years probably passed really slow 😆, since we had no internet, computers, mobile phone etc... these days, decade seems to fly by with no one noticing

This is a misconception. AB isn't India's all-time great actor. That feat goes to Dilip Kumar. Dilip saab is the most legendary actor in the history of Indian cinema.

Dilip Saab ---> Rajesh Khanna -----> Dev Anand ------> Guru Dutt -----> Amitabh Bachchan.

All of those are legendary actors, but Aamir Khan as of know is much bigger then most of these actors. I really think it is a competition between Aamir and Amitabh on who is the greatest of all time.
