Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Himmat arrived at peak 'angry young man' era, with Jeetendra offering a softer, more romantic alternative to Amitabh Bachchan's harder-edged rebels.
Mumtaz was at the height of her stardom here, having just delivered multiple 1969 hits; her chemistry with Jeetendra made this a commercially safe bet despite the dark material.
