1970: Significant movies from a significant year

Image
A wise soul once said, “History repeats itself.” In Hindi film history, 1970, as much as 1950, 1960, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010 were turnaround years in terms of content, top names and trends being broken or reset. And the eeriest part of all was that they were all round-figure years! This was the year of the consolidation of Rajesh Khanna after his 1969 breakthrough, of Vinod Khanna getting his first hits, of Sanjeev Kumar being recognized as a huge talent, of Dharmendra continuing to give super-hits, of Mumtaz and Hema Malini making a huge impact and R.D. Burman making an overdue breakthrough. Dharmendra-Hema Malini, Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz and Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore were the three hit pairs that became consolidated. And Rishi Kapoor, Raakhee, Rekha, Navin Nischol, Anil Dhawan and Rehana Sultan made their debuts, while Shatrughan Sinha got his first featured role and Feroz Khan entered the A-list. Films based on famous foreign sources, inspiration for the Ramsays to turn to ho
