Take a look
Written by Salim-Javed and directed by Yash Chopra, `Deewaar` remains one of Bollywood`s most celebrated films. Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Parveen Babi, and Neetu Singh, the film revolves around two brothers who take different paths in life–with one becoming a respected police officer and the other turning into a feared underworld figure.
`Deewaar`, which was released on January 24, 1975, was a massive hit. The film is remembered to this day for its iconic scenes, including Shashi Kapoor`s legendary dialogue, “Mere paas maa hai.”
The film played a crucial role in shaping Amitabh Bachchan`s image as Bollywood`s Angry Young Man and is considered one of the most influential films in Indian cinema.
