Not many know this, but Manoj Kumar, as iconic as he was as an actor, was an even more brilliant director, at least that's what I think.
He made huge hit films that were loved by critics and did great business. Many of those films also had him as the hero 👇🏻
He started as 'poor man's Dilip Kumar' but became one of the finest actor directors of the masala era. He brought Dilip Kumar out of retirement with the blockbuster Kranti and revived Dilip’s career.
Jai Hind was his final film. It starred his son Kunal Goswami, Rishi Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, and Manisha Koirala in lead roles. The movie was cringe worthy with terrible production quality.
Manoj Kumar's films were mostly about patriotism, and he showed it in a grand and impressive style.
Manoj Kumar's signature style was hand on the mouth pose
Which was shown in a trolling way in Om Shanti Om, Manoj got very upset and he filed a case against it…
