Amitabh’s Iconic Performance
After the death of his brother, Raju turns over a new leaf, regretting his wayward life and holding himself responsible for his brother’s death. He tries to make amends to lead a better life, as he has unconditional love for his sister-in-law-to-be, Suman, and because of his guilt, he wants to see her settled once again.
Unknowingly, he comes across Shankar, a wanted criminal and a lookalike of his brother Amit. He tries to play Cupid and brings them together, but Suman is not willing to accept Shankar in place of her beloved Amit. She sees no comparison between the two. Shankar being a criminal has his enemies, due to which they kidnap Suman. In a fight sequence, Shankar, in trying to protect Suman, injures himself, leaving bloodstains on his forehead that symbolically also show on Suman’s forehead. A crimson red, which signifies her acceptance of Shankar in her life. The film is made well, and the film was a semi-hit at the box office.
Neetu Singh has a small, bubbly role in the film as Raju’s lover and fiancée. Amjad Khan essays the main villain, while the handsome Vijayendra Ghatge is Amit’s killer. The title song from the film Kasme Vaade became a hit, and so were the other songs from the film; ‘Aati Rahengi Baharen’ was very popular.
