Chakraborty receiving his Best Actor National Award for Mrigaya

Mithun Chakraborty made his debut in the 1976 Mrinal Sen-directed film Mrigaya, for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor.[4] After the successful Mera Rakshak,[27] Chakraborty rose to stardom with the low budget spy film Surakshaa (1979) directed by Ravikant Nagaich.[19] The film was so successful, that many movies starring Chakraborty in the lead were launched. The combination with Deepak Bahry also happened for the first time in 1979 with Tarana. Another important film for Chakraborty in the late 1970s was Prem Vivah, directed by Basu Chatterjee.

Mithun Chakraborty literally ruled Bollywood in 1980s, with the brand of impossible heroics and made-for-the-front-row lines[28] as he starred in over 110 releases in this decade.[4] Chakraborty played the lead role of Bheema in the super-hit multi-starrer movie Hum Paanch. (1980) and in 1982, Disco Dancer extended Chakraborty's popularity across India and into Russia.[4] Even today, youngsters copy the "Mithun-style dance". He also did lighter roles in Shaukeen, Sun Sajna and Aamne Samne. His 1985 super-hit movie Pyar Jhukta Nahin reconfirmed his top star status. That same year, he was also appreciated for his role as Javar in JP Dutta film, Ghulami. Chakraborty also became India's highest tax payer in 1986.[29] Chakraborty went on to star in a number of romantic and family dramas during the 1980s, such as Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye, Ghar Ek Mandir, Pyaar Jhukta Nahin, Swarag Se Sunder and Pyaar Ka Mandir. These films remain his most commercially successful films to date.[30] He was also widely recognized as an action hero in films like Jagir, Jaal, Dilwaala, Watan Ke Rakhwale and Waqt Ki Awaz. His performances never won any award in 1986 and 1987 as Filmfare Awards was never announced due to technical reasons. As Chakraborty always had higher number of releases, sometimes it affected the business of his own films as happened in 1989, where he had a record 19 films.

In 1992, the critically acclaimed Bengali film Tahader Katha won him his second National Film Award for Best Actor.[4] In this period he decided to take a break from Mumbai. He shifted his entire family to Ooty and he constructed The Monarch Hotel. Chakraborty then decided to do movies only to be shot at Ooty and nearby locations and he provided discount rates to the film crew to stay in his hotel as well. This strategy paid off as numerous films starring Chakraborty was launched every week, so he shifted his focus from mainstream Hindi cinemas to low-budget movies.[4] Dalaal was released followed by other low-budget films like Phool Aur Angaar, Ravan Raaj: A True Story and Shapath, which created a market for low budget productions.[31]

Jallad won him the Filmfare Best Villain Award and Star Screen Award Best Villain for the year 1995. His economical film production was popular as Mithun's Dream Factory.[32][33][34][35][36] Even he could not do Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar as his character had to crop his hair, which would have affected his other 15 films at that time. By this time, Chakraborty held the record for appearing in the most number of Hindi films as a hero.[19] A third National Award followed in 1998, this time as the Best Supporting Actor, for his portrayal of, in G. V. Iyer's Swami Vivekananda.[4] Once again the overdose of Chakraborty releases affected the business as 1998 and 1999 itself had almost 30 releases.[19] Meantime, he paid more tax than anyone else in the country in the mean period for 5 continuous years, from 1995 to 1999.[37][38][39] This decade proved Chakraborty as a businessman more than a star as low-budget filmmakers were given their due by Mithun. He operates hotels in Mudhumalai and Ooty in Tamil Nadu, Darjeeling, Siliguri and Kolkata.[40]
