Leader (1964) is a political drama film directed by Ram Mukherjee, produced by Sashadhar Mukherjee, and written by Dilip Kumar. The film starred Vyjayanthimala and Jayant. Despite its unique theme, which was expected to be commercially successful by the production house Filmalaya, the film performed only moderately at the box office. It is often regarded as one of the first mainstream Hindi films to tackle political themes. At nearly three hours long, Leader saw Dilip Kumar break away from his established romantic hero image to portray Vijay Khanna, a law graduate and tabloid editor. Set against the backdrop of general elections, Vijay falls in love with Princess Sunita (Vyjayanthimala).

लीडर (1964) के निर्माता शशधर मुखर्जी और निर्देशक राम मुखर्जी थे। इस फ़िल्म की पटकथा अभिनेता दिलीप कुमार ने लिखी थी और यह एक राजनैतिक ड्रामा फ़िल्म है। दिलीप कुमार के साथ फ़िल्म में मुख्य भूमिकाओं में अभिनेत्री वैजयंतीमाला और जयंत थे। एक नए विषय को फ़िल्म बनाने के लिए चुनने की वजह से निर्माण बैनर 'फ़िल्मालय' को उम्मीद थी कि फ़िल्म को बड़ी व्यावसायिक कामयाबी मिलेगी। लेकिन फ़िल्म ने टिकट खिड़की पर सामान्य से कमतर प्रदर्शन किया। पर लीडर को इस बात का श्रेय दिया जा सकता है कि इसने सीधे राजनीति को संबोधित करनेवाले विषयों पर मुख्यधारा हिन्दी सिनेमा में फ़िल्म बनाने की शुरुआत की। लगभग तीन घंटे लम्बी फ़िल्म लीडर में दिलीप कुमार ने अपनी स्थापित रोमांटिक ट्रैजिक हीरो वाली छवि से हटकर भूमिका निभाई है। फ़िल्म का कथानक आम चुनावों की पृष्ठभूमि का इस्तेमाल करता है। गौरतलब है कि फ़िल्म की रिलीज़ के समय तक भारत में 3 आम चुनाव हो चुके थे। फ़िल्म का नायक विजय खन्ना (दिलीप कुमार) वकालत पढ़ा है और एक अखबार का सम्पादक है। विजय को राजकुमारी सुनीता (वैजयंतीमाला) से प्यार हो जाता है। पर उनकी प्यार भरी कहानी तब एक स्याह मोड़ लेती है जब विजय पर एक राजनीतिज्ञ की हत्या का आरोप लगता है। आगे फ़िल्म की कहानी में नायक...
