In 1978, the hit film “Ganga Ki Saugand” – a classic pairing’s movie – was written and directed by Indian screenwriter and director Wajahat Mirza. This film portrays a man’s relentless courage and resolve to bring down an abusive man who had played a significant role in the tragic death of his mother within society. Swearing on the sacred River Ganges, he vows revenge. The ending is heart-wrenchingly sorrowful, even more so than the story itself.

4. Muqaddar Ka Sikandar

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but draw parallels between the timeless tales of tragic love, such as Devdas and Cyrano de Bergerac, and the masterpiece that is Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. This epic story follows the life of an orphan named Sikandar, who grew up amidst the bustling slums of Bombay.

As a die-hard admirer, I’d like to share that the smashing hit, “Mr. Natwarlal,” took its name from a legendary Indian swindler and drew inspiration from his life story. Unlike the man himself, however, this movie wasn’t about deceit but rather his vengeance against an odious adversary. A captivating children’s tune, “Mere Paas Aao Mere Doston, Ek Qissa Suno,” serenaded by the Senior Bachchan, was woven into the film’s narrative, adding a delightful touch to this intriguing tale.
