These films obviously influenced Dutt greatly --- when he turned producer in the early sixties, it was with a couple of offbeat movies --- Yeh Raaste Hain Pyar Ke (1963), where heroine Leela Naidu has an adulterous relationship and Mujhe Jeene Do (1963) where he played a tough-as-nails dacoit. These films added to Dutt's reputation and commercial standing. His subsequent attempt at filmmaking, Yaadein (1964), where he was the only character in the film, however, was found to be too esoteric by most.
But by now Dutt had hit his peak as a star and was starring in a string of hits. A regular with the B R Chopra camp, he exuded style and sophistication in three of his sixties successes --- Gumraah (1963), Waqt (1965) and Humraaz (1967). Simultaneously, the disciplined Dutt was also a favourite with South Indian filmmakers which resulted in emotion-heavy, rural-based hits with Nutan like Khandaan and Milan.
Dutt's sartorial style was markedly different in both these genres of films, but they were all successful. In fact in 1967, he had a hat-trick of hits with Milan, Meherban and Humraaz.
