The Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) is set to organise a special screening of Deewaar on February 1 to celebrate the 50th release anniversary of the Yash Chopra-directed film. Penned by Salim-Javed, the blockbuster action drama released on January 21, 1975. It starred Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in the lead.
According to the official Instagram page of FHF, the film will be showcased at Mumbai's iconic Regal Cinema on Saturday at 6 pm on a "new screen". “Produced by Trimurti Films, Deewar was a smash hit that further established Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic persona of the Angry Young Man and the famed screenwriter duo of Salim-Javed,” the not-for-profit foundation said. Deewaar revolved around two impoverished brothers struggling to survive in the slums of Mumbai.
When they grow up, the elder brother Vijay (Bachchan) turns to crime while the younger one Ravi (Kapoor) becomes an honest police officer. It also starred Nirupa Roy, Neetu Singh and Parveen Babi.
