Written by Salim-Javed and directed by Yash Chopra, Deewaar is widely regarded as one of Bollywood’s most celebrated films. Featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Parveen Babi, and Neetu Singh, the film tells the story of two brothers who take divergent paths—one becoming a respected police officer, while the other rises as a feared underworld figure.
Released on January 24, 1975, Deewaar was a major box office success and continues to be remembered for its unforgettable moments, including Shashi Kapoor’s legendary dialogue, “Mere paas maa hai.”
The film played a significant role in cementing Amitabh Bachchan’s status as Bollywood’s Angry Young Man and remains one of the most influential works in Indian cinema.
