This hero’s debut movie broke records of Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan; It was a love story, featured…, film’s name is…

The showman of Bollywood, veteran actor Raj Kapoor, was a leading filmmaker during the ‘golden age’ of Indian cinema. He and his family ruled the Hindi film industry. Like his father, Prithviraj Kapoor, he first acted and then brought his three sons into this profession. His eldest son, Rishi Kapoor, became more successful in films.

To bring Rishi Kapoor into the industry so soon was not planned. In 1970, Raj made the biggest film of his career, ‘Mera Naam Joker’. He invested almost all his savings in this film. He also introduced his son, Rishi Kapoor, as a child actor. It was expected that this film would be a blockbuster, but it did not happen. The film flopped badly, and Raj Kapoor lost all his money.

After three years, Raj had to return with something solid, so he decided to launch his son Rishi Kapoor. He was the last hope for Raj and they released Bobby movie in 1973. The movie features debutants Rishi and Dimple Kapadia. It was a musical romantic film that was inspired by the Archies comics. Bobby became a blockbuster, securing the position of highest highest-grossing Indian film of that year.

Raj Kapoor also made a strong comeback and recovered financially. Bobby was the highest-grossing film of 1973 and, adjusted for inflation, it earned the equivalent of Rs 1,853.94 crore in 2025.

No one believed that this new boy would make such a splash with his first film in front of superstar actors like Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan. The movie broke records of all the famous actors mentioned above.
