Reena Roy had 13 releases in 1982 one of the highest numbers of releases for a Bollywood Actress. 8 out of these 13 films were either successful or average grossers even though hardly any of them was a major blockbuster but she and Jeetendra worked in many successful films and she also launched her debut production film that year “Sanam Teri Kasam” which was also a moderate success. These 13 films include-
Main Inteqam Loonga - Indian version of Rocky with Dharam ji playing a boxer- average
Lakshmi- Flop
Kacche Heere- Flop
Dard ka Rishta- Sunil Dutt made this film as a tribute to Nargis Dutt who passed away and year ago due to c**cer and he made this film to spread awareness on the disease. Famous South Indian actress Khushboo Sundar, who was then a child artist played the daughter of Sunil Dutt suffering from the disease. The profits from this film went to medical research institutions- Critically acclaimed and moderately successful
Baghavat- costume drama with an ensemble cast of Dharamji, Hema, Jeetendra and Reena Roy. One of the last hits of Ramanand Sagar before he turned to television
Dharam Kaanta- One of the rare multi starrer films of Rajesh Khanna and another Dacoity movie by the Daku movie expert Sultan Ahmed (this man only made Dacoit movies all through his career from Heera, Ganga Ki Saugandh, Dharam Kanta, Daata and Jai Vikranta). Again Jeetendra and Reena Roy together. The film was above average success.
Badle ki Aag- The film was discussed in the parliament not because it was good but because it showed k**ling of children which was criticised by the leaders. Film had a huge cast made by the multi starrer expert Rajkumar Kohli. Film had Jeetendra, Reena Roy, Sunil Dutt, Dharmendra and Smita Patil. The film did average business.
Hathkadi- This film did good business because of one popular song- Disco Station. The film had Sanjeev Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Reena Roy, Ranjeeta and Rakesh Roshan in its cast. The film was a Semi Hit.
Jeo aur Jeene Do- Again Jeetendra and Reena Roy and the film was a major hit. Jeetendra was impressed by director Shyam Ralhan. At the same time he was producing a really expensive film Deedar e Yaar but he was not at all happy with the final cut of H S Rawail. So he brought a masala film director Shyam Ralhan to reshoot some scenes of Deedar e Yaar to salvage the film. Eventually Deedar e Yaar became one of the biggest disasters of Indian cinema wiping out all the life savings of Jeetendra and forcing him to go south to work in South remakes which resurrected his career. Reena Roy did a cameo as Qawwali Singer in Deedar E Yaar (so this was her 14th appearance)
Insan- A much delayed film starring Jeetendra, Reena Roy and Vinod Khanna. Due to Vinod Khanna doing to USA the film was years in making and therefore despite the hitpair of Jeetendra and Reena Roy this film didn't do well.
Do Ustaad- One of the last films of Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy (along with Hathkadi the same year) but the film failed at the box office.
Sanam Teri Kasam - produced by Barkha Roy, sister of Reena Roy, the film had Kamal Haasan (after the blockbuster success of Ek Duje ke Liye) alongside Reena Roy. The film was moderate success, with much credit to its music which gave RD Burman his first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director.
Bezubaan- Reena Roy’s best film and best performance of the year was Bezuban directed by popular South Indian director Bapu. The film had Reena Roy, Shashi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah in a rare negative role. Naseeruddin Shah has given a remarkable performance in the film and Reena Roy has played her role very well. Unfortunately the film didn't do very well.
