6 blockbusters, 7 superhits, 36 hits, yet this superstar holds the record for flop films, was a hero in B-grade films, not Mithun Chakraborty, he is….

There have been many heroes in Bollywood who have given hit after hit. Dharmendra is also a superstar who had a superhit career. If we talk about his big films and do a rough calculation, he gave 6 blockbusters, 7 superhits, and 36 hit films. In this way, he is called the He-Man of Bollywood. So let’s decode Dharmendra’s career today.

The first film of Dharmendra’s career was Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. Which was released in 1960. After this film, he appeared in many films and became famous as the most handsome star of the industry. He has given more than 50 superhit films in his career. In this way, he is also called the biggest superstar of Indian cinema.

Dharmendra’s career has always been shining. Sometimes he was surrounded by writers and sometimes by directors and producers. But there was a time when he did B-grade films out of necessity. Dharmendra, who has worked in more than 200 movies, has had more than 93 hits.

Dharmendra’s first hit was Anpadh in 1962, two years after his debut. After this, his journey as a lead continued till 2011, and he also gave a hit film like Chamla Pagla Deewana. Dharmendra is still working. In the year 2023, he was also seen in the hit film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, but now he is seen in supporting roles.

Dharmendra managed to maintain a record of being on top for 25 years because of his top films. It is said that there used to be a line outside Dharmendra’s house to sign him. Directors were ready to sign him at whatever price he asked for. Not only this, but  Dharmendra has given the highest-grossing films of the year many times. Phool Aur Patthar, Aankhen, Hukumat, Sholay, Sita Aur Geeta…these 5 films have been the 5 highest-grossing films of the year in his career. That is why Dharmendra is the actor who was paid more than Amitabh Bachchan for Sholay.

Dharmendra has played a long innings in Bollywood. But he also tarnished his career by working in B-grade films like Paapi Devta, Juaari, Mahashakti Shaali, Hum Sab Chor Hain, Dharm Karma, and Pyar Ka Karz did a lot of damage to his image. According to Koimoi, Dharmendra has two big records to his name: 1. A Superstar who gave the most number of hit films. 2. A superstar who gave the most number of flop films.

However, in most reports, the record of giving the most number of flop films (180) is said to be in the name of Mithun Chakraborty. Actually, Dharmendra has given more hit films in his career. This account is of the important films. Despite this, he is the only superstar in the history of Bollywood who has given more than 50 hit films.
