After India's independence, the country was facing many problems. There was a lack of basic facilities in public life and unemployment was a serious problem. In this background, the film industry worked to bring social problems to the big screen. The 1974 film 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan' proved to be a milestone in this direction, which not only highlighted the issues of society, but also gave a new lease of life to the career of a budding actor.

The film's producer, director and actor Manoj Kumar put the need for roti, kapda and makaan in front of the audience through 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan'. The film had stars like Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman and Mousami Chatterjee, but the most important role was played by Amitabh Bachchan. This film proved to be a big turning point for him.

Amitabh Bachchan started his career in 1969 with 'Saat Hindustani', but this film could not be successful.
