[edit] StoryAmit Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan), recites one of his poems at a college / university where he meets fellow student Pooja (Raakhee Gulzar) and they fall in love. But Pooja decides to marry an architect, Vijay Khanna (Shashi Kapoor), in line with her parents' wishes. A heartbroken Amit returns home and joins his father's business - a construction company - and later marries Anjali (Waheeda Rehman), who is secretly a widow and has a daughter named Pinky (Neetu Singh) from an earlier marriage. Amit and Anjali have a daughter, Sweetie, of their own. In the meantime, Pinky is adopted by childless couple Dr. and Mrs. R.P. Kapoor. Spanning over to the next generation, Pooja and Vijay have a son, Vikram (Rishi Kapoor), also known as "Vicky", who falls in love with Pinky while they are in college and the two plan to get married. When Pinky learns that she is actually adopted and the identity of her real mother, she tries to get close to Anjali. While Anjali eventually acknowledges her existence and secretly showers her love on her reunited daughter, she does not reveal the relationship to her husband, fearing for her marriage. The situation is further complicated by Vicky's attempts to stay close to Pinky and Sweetie's romantic interest in Vicky. This sets in motion a chain of events that unites old flames as friends. [edit] ProductionThe movie's concept came to Yash Chopra while he was reading a poem by his longtime friend (and also the film's lyricist) Sahir Ludhianvi. The movie was shot by in Kashmir and Yash Chopra has claimed this to be one of his happiest experiences and he described the production as a "honeymoon", since the entire united stayed together as a family.[4] The film also led to the reinvention of Amitabh Bachchan as a romantic poet who loses his love, which was a major departure from his earlier "angry-young man" roles such as Deewar and Zanjeer. The film had been written with Raakhee in mind, and she had agreed to do it during the making of Daag (1973)[5] but before production started she married lyricist Gulzar, who wanted her to retire from acting. However, after some persuasion from Yash Chopra, Gulzar let her do the film. The title track was later resung and remixed by Dal Hothi followed many years later by a remixed version by Bally Sagoo.
