under the production house of S. Ramanathan. The film “Giriftaar” features Rajesh Khanna in a key role and explores themes of action and drama. Ramanathan featured Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Madhavi, and Poonam Dhillon as the main cast. Rajinikanth made a guest appearance as a friend of Amitabh Bachchan’s character.
In 1985, it became the highest-grossing movie, becoming a blockbuster due to Amitabh Bachchan’s outstanding performance. The supporting cast included Kader Khan, Ranjeet, Shakti Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Aruna Irani, Rani, Om Shivpuri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, and Jeevan.
The movie’s music was composed by Bappi Lahiri, with lyrics by Indeevar. Prayag Raj wrote the screenplay, K. K. Shukla wrote the dialogue, and Kader Khan contributed to the story. The plot revolves around Kishan Kumar Khanna, played by Amitabh Bachchan, an actor in love with the beautiful Anuradha. However, Anuradha’s gangster brother does not approve of their relationship, leading to false accusations and Kishan serving a prison sentence.
In jail, Kishan encounters his long-lost brother Karan, played by Kamal Haasan, who’s serving time for a murder he insists wasn’t his doing. The two join forces to seek revenge against the atrocities they faced. This movie is unique as it brings together three legendary actors: Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Rajinikanth.
Although Kamal Haasan only appears alongside Amitabh Bachchan, and there is no scene with Rajinikanth, ‘Giriftaar’ remains a notable movie in Amitabh Bachchan’s career.
