Agneepath is a crime-drama film directed by Mukul S. Anand. Amitabh Bachchan played the role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in the film. Other cast included Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavi, Neelam Kothari, Rohini Hattangadi and Danny Denzongpa. The titled was taken from a poem of the same name by Amitabh’s father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

It is recited at the beginning of the film and creates a thematic connection. The movie reportedly failed to match expectations at the box office upon release but received cult following over time.

Amitabh Bachchan’s performance in Agneepath is considered as a milestone in his career. He earned his first National Film Award for Best Actor at the 38th National Film Awards. The movie was remade in 2012 with the same name. However, Hrithik Roshan stepped in Amitabh’s shoes and not Abhishek. The remake was a success at the box office with praises from the audiences.
