True icon of Indian cinema. He didn't just act, he created a whole era. The music from Disco Dancer wasn't just songs, they were anthems that defined a generation. Respect for acknowledging the new talent on Indian Idol.

While I admire his journey, I feel the article could have delved deeper into his National Award-winning serious roles, not just the disco image. He's a versatile actor, and that deserves equal celebration. A respectful criticism.
