What Was Life Really Like?
Bobby launched a new era in Bollywood — young love, modern India, Dimple Kapadia in a bikini. The country was changing, and so was its cinema. Amitabh Bachchan was rising fast.
Oil prices surged globally after the Arab oil embargo, causing inflation and fuel shortages. Emergency rationing returned to some cities. Political unrest was growing — JP Narayan was rallying opposition to Indira Gandhi.
But in cinema halls, audiences forgot everything for three hours of song and spectacle.
