70s were golden period for Hindi film industry: Rahul Rawail
PANAJI: Acclaimed film-maker Rahul Rawail on Monday said that the 1970s saw influx of new ideas, new experiments and a new genre of action films in Hindi cinema.
In an online ‘In-Conversation’ session on “Filmmaking in 50s, 60s and 70s” at the ongoing 51st International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here, he said those were also the golden years for unconventional films and emergence of new techniques.
Recalling his cinematic journey, the film-maker said, “I started working in this industry from the late 60s and began my career as an assistant to the legendary Raj Kapoor. Stalwarts like K Asif and Mehmood made films with magnificient sets in the 60s, after which Baburam Ishara’s ‘Chetna’ in the 70s “brought about a revolution” with shootings done on location over 25-30 days, “something which was unusual in those days.”
