Hero (1983)
The film that catapulted Jackie Shroff to stardom, Hero remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic love stories. His portrayal of a rugged gangster-turned-lover won hearts across the nation. With an indelible soundtrack and an engaging narrative, Hero cemented Jackie Shroff’s place in Bollywood as a leading man in the 80s.
Khalnayak (1993)
‘Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai’ might have been the song everyone was talking about, but Khalnayak had much more to offer. Jackie Shroff played the no-nonsense cop on the hunt for Sanjay Dutt’s infamous Ballu, and his intense performance added a mysterious layer to this crime thriller. It’s the kind of film that keeps you hooked till the very end.
Ram Lakhan (1989)
