When Bollywood icon Dharmendra set a record of seven blockbusters in a year.

At some point in Bollywood, a number of films starring superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna and Feroze Khan flooded the theaters, but most failed to register any box office success. Then came the era of Govinda, Akshay Kumar and Shahrukh Khan, which featured hit films, but not all of them were blockbusters. However, there is one famous person in Bollywood who has achieved outstanding feats. That person is none other than Dharmendra.

Bollywood icon Dharmendra experienced a golden period in 1987 when he reached the peak of his career with a staggering 12 films released in theaters back to back. Some of these releases include Insaniyat Ke Dushman, Loha, Hukmat, Aag Hi Aag, Mera Karam Mera Dharam, Watan Ke Rakhwale, Mard Ki Zabaan, Insaf Ki Pukar, Dadagari, Jaan Hatheli Pe, Mit Jayenge Mitane Waale, Superman, etc. It is included.

In this prolific year, Dharmendra achieved the unprecedented feat of delivering 7 consecutive hits out of 12 releases. The films that have contributed to this extraordinary success streak are Insaniyat Ke Dushman, Roja, Hukmat, Aag Hi Aag, Watan Ke Lakwale, Mard Ki Zabaan, Jaan Hateri Pe and Dadagiri.

Dharmendra’s action-packed drama film ‘Hukumat’ came out as a record-breaking blockbuster in 1987. Directed by Anil Sharma, the film stars Dharmendra and Rati Agnihotri in lead roles, with Swapna and Sadashiv Amrapurkar in supporting roles. The film’s success also led to a Tamil remake titled ‘Puthiya Vaanam’.

Dharmendra has had a prolific career spanning over 60 years, contributing to over 300 films and is known as one of the most successful actors in the history of Hindi cinema.

Dharmendra was last seen in the sci-fi drama film Love Nation, directed by Basith Ahmed Khan, though he appears less frequently in films. The film also starred Adeeb and Maviya in important roles.

Dharmendra continues to hold a revered place in the hearts of Bollywood lovers and his amazing feat of scoring seven consecutive hits in one year remains an unparalleled record in the industry.
