The 1980 Indian Hindi film starring Amitabh Bachchan. Written by Salim Javed & produced by Yash Johar.It was a huge hit & became the fourth highest grosser of 1980. The film was remade in Tamil as Sattam with Kamal hassan.
28th Film fare awards for Best actor Amitabh Bachchan & Shatrughan Sinha, Best lyricist Anand Bakshi for ‘Salamat rahe dostana hamara’ & best male Playback singer Mohd. Rafifor ‘Mere dost kissa yeh kya ho gaya’
Watching it again for the umpteenth time it felt old. Nostalgic. Easy on the eyes & beautiful. The songs melodious & the heroine genuine. Zeenat Aman is an actress who could carry her western outfits so well. But she is in sarees & feels good.
Like Parveen Babi, she had her hair cut in style. The glossy mane is something to die for. Not really seen as an actress she managed to ride the box office & give good performances. With Amitabh she stands tall. Be it ‘Don’, ‘Mahan, Pukar , Lawaris or ‘The great Gambler’ .
Another good film for Amitabh fans.
