The 1980s were a revolutionary period for Bollywood. At that time, many big budget films hit the theaters, but some films proved to be flops at the box office despite expensive production. There was one such film in which seven big superstars including Amitabh Bachchan acted. Although the film did not achieve the expected success at the box office, its songs still live in the hearts of listeners.

Movie Details and Starcast

This film was counted among the most expensive films of that era. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, big names like Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Rajnikanth, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini and Jaya Bhaduri were included in the film. The story of the film was a confluence of romance, drama and action, for which huge investment was made.

The producer and director used lavish sets, exotic locations and spectacular costumes in the film, so that it completely mesmerized the audience. Crores of rupees were also spent on the promotion of the film, and it was tagged as a superhit before its release.

Apart from this, the audience at that time also lost interest in the story after seeing the line-up of big stars. Despite the film being a box office flop, its musical content and songs became extremely popular.

Some songs are still very popular among the listeners of old songs. These songs proved that the power of music can make even a flop film immortal.

Film industry experts say that the film in many ways highlighted the Bollywood filmmaking process and the importance of star power. At the same time, the popularity of the songs gave it the status of a cult classic.
