DEEWAR 1975

Deewar is a classic Indian movie, directed by Indian director Yash Chopra. Built upon the angry young man persona of Amitabh Bachchan, the movie came at a time when the lofty heights of freedom movements were dashed by the stark reality of corruption that had steeped into society. The story is unique because of the inherent moral ambiguity in the leading character; Bollywood films usually portray an unreal distinction between good and evil.
