Mithun Chakraborty & Raza Murad Movies Together List — 9 Films

The shape of the work

The 1980s belonged to Pyar Ka Mandir; the 1990s to Dil Aashna Hai. Mithun Chakraborty acted in every film; Raza Murad acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• They first shared screen space in Pyar Ka Mandir (1988), a family drama where Mithun played the hero and Raza played the villain. The director, K. Bapaiah, deliberately paired them because he wanted a clean-cut hero vs a menacing antagonist — and Raza's baritone was the perfect foil to Mithun's earnest, soft-spoken act.
• In Bhrashtachar (1989), Mithun and Raza had a face-off scene in a courtroom that was shot in one continuous take. Mithun later told a trade magazine that Raza's timing was so precise he didn't need to rehearse — he just fed off Raza's pauses and built his anger beat by beat.
• Despite playing bitter rivals on screen, Mithun and Raza were known to share the same makeup van on the sets of Krishan Avtaar (1993). Raza once said in an interview that Mithun would insist they eat lunch together because 'villains need love too.'
• "Mithun is the only hero who never treated me like a villain off-camera. He'd ask me how my lines sounded, and if I said 'too loud,' he'd adjust his performance. That's rare." — Raza Murad, in a 2018 interview with Filmfare.
• Their third film together, Krishan Avtaar (1993), was a mythological action drama that directly inspired a wave of low-budget 'godman' films in the mid-90s — including one where Raza played a similar villain opposite a lesser-known hero. That film's producer later admitted he cast Raza because of his 'Mithun-era menace.'
