Amitabh Bachchan, arguably the greatest star Hindi cinema has ever seen, will turn 69 tomorrow, October 11. Starting his cinematic career with a string of flops, his fate made a complete turnaround when Zanjeer became his first hit film co-starring his future wife Jaya Bhaduri.

There was no looking back for the Angry Young Man thereafter. All of us know how the story goes from there. Across countries and across generations, Bachchan is still the undisputed favourite of millions of moviegoers.
