Kumar's series of patriotic films started with the 1965 film Shaheed based on the life of Bhagat Singh.
Kumar made directorial debut with Upkaar (1967) and played both a soldier and a farmer symbolizing, Lal Bahadur Shastry's slogan, Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan. The film was also noted for the famous song Mere Desh Ki Dharti. Upkaar was a hit and won Kumar Filmfare Best Director Award.
Manoj returned to patriotic theme in Purab Aur Paschim (1970), in which life in the East and West are juxtaposed. In 1972, he starred in Be-Imaan (for which he won the Filmfare Best Actor Award). He directed and starred in Shor (1972). Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) was a social commentary featuring an all-star cast including Zeenat Aman, Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan that won him his second Filmfare Award for Best Director. Sanyasi (1975), a hit film had Kumar and Hema Malini in the lead roles of a religious-themed comedy. Dus Numbri (1976) starring Kumar and Hema was also a hit. In 1981, Kumar reached the peak of his career with Kranti, a story about the struggle for Indian independence in the 19th century. Kranti was the last notable successful film in his career.
