💨 Abstract

Manoj Kumar, known for his roles in patriotic films like Upkar and Purab Aur Paschim, avoided histrionics and used brooding silences, furrowed brows, and covering his face with his hand to express emotion. His gesture was so iconic that it was parodied by Shah Rukh Khan. Despite being a household name, Kumar faced controversy with Kalyug Ki Ramayan in the 80s.
