The story of two brothers—one a police officer and the other a feared gangster—captivated audiences, and its themes of morality, family, and conflict still resonate today.

The film not only solidified Amitabh Bachchan’s status as Bollywood’s Angry Young Man but also cemented his place in the hearts of millions of fans. Shashi Kapoor’s heartfelt line, “Mere paas maa hai,” has become one of the most quoted dialogues in Indian cinematic history.

The special screening at Regal Cinema, scheduled for 6:00 PM, is free and open to the public. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, giving fans of all ages the chance to relive the magic of this cinematic gem.
