Friday 01 May 2020 15.30 IST Box Office India Trade Network

Rishi Kapoor is among the ten actors in the Hindi film industry to have given 25 HITS as male lead in the 100 year history of Hindi cinema. The other nine being Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Shahrukh Khan. This is not counting the HITS given as character artistes which will add to the numbers. These actors are the biggest that the Hindi film industry has ever seen.

The biggest BLOCKBUSTER of Rishi Kapoor is Bobby (1973) which was also his first film as main lead. The film will have business of 500 crore nett plus based on its footfalls and the average ticket rate of 2018. The film was a huge craze celebrating around 30 silver jubilees across the country. In Mumbai it went silver at Metro and Broadway while in Delhi it hit 25 weeks at Regal and Moti. The film actually had a late release in Delhi as the initial release came in Mumbai and East Punjab circuits and both circuits saw record breaking initial. The East Punjab centres of Haryana like Gurgaon and Rohtak saw groups of youths coming from Delhi (where the film was yet to be released) to watch the film only to struggle for tickets. But the East Punjab exhibitors were famous were allowing the theatres to go over capacity by putting seats up on the sides and aisles which meant some of the Delhi crowd was able to watch..

Many of the Rishi Kapoor blockbusters are musicals and this is where the actor scored heavily. A sign of a popular actor in India is the comfortabilty in songs and Rishi Kapoor excelled here. The songs are the toughest part in Hindi cinema because it is very easy to look out of place and very few have managed to succeed here and this is proven by the fact that every generation has so few genuinely popular actors. Actually in India its the ability to perform in songs that separates the greats with the others. Its one of the reasons that in the 100 year history of Hindi cinema that many actors have been called great by the media but the audience never put them on the same pedestal and this will continue is the future also as the audience demands the near perfect hero. All the actors in the 25 plus HIT group above were supremely comfortable in songs whether they could dance or not;

Bobby made Rishi Kapoor a sensation and the stardom was consolidated a few years later with blockbusters like Laila Majnu (1976) and Hum Kisse Kum Nahin (1977). The 70's was the golden period of Hindi cinema with huge multi starrer blockbusters but it was Rishi Kapoor who delivered the biggest solo grossers of the 70's. It was the time of box office titans but Rishi Kapoor made a place for himself among these titans

Bobby biggest Hit of the Year as a solo lead and big solo hit of the decade, that speaks volumes.

Laila Manju 2nd biggest hit of the year

Prem Rog one of the biggest hit of the year solo lead

Nagina Biggest solo Hit of the year

Sargam one of biggest hit of the year

Henna one of the biggest hit of the year

Deewana although Srk with his debut role, rishi Kapoor was the main lead.

Chandni Rishi Kapoor was the main lead hero, The rest being multistarrer film he was part the main titular role.

Hum Kisse Kum Nahin another big solo hit.

Rishi Kapoor was talented actor but he was typecast a chocolate boy hero I actually preferred him in that image which suited him and he was charming in those roles. For me he is underrated and was bigger star than his overrated son.

Although Some of these movies are known to be women centric movie but it was he who was the lead hero of the movie, and some of these movies worked big time with his star presence.
