Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha - Shakti (1982)


Shakti is one of the bestest films ever created by Hindi cinema. I didn't know it was released in the same year I was born in but that is not the reason why I really like it. Shakti had a very strong story line and the cast selection couldn't be more perfect than what the film makers chose back then.

This family drama included a star studded cast : Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhee Gulzar, Smita Patel, Amrish Puri and Kulbushan. The father-son duo played by Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan was simply amazing. The movie touched upon their relationship in a different light with complications created by bad timing and unusual circumstances throughout their life.

I always say that good villains are done with in India. They can't match people like Amrish Puri or Amjad Khan at all because those guys had a lot of class. Now, we have to see a bunch of losers mostly.

And moving on to this song...the lyrics and vocals are brilliants. The lyrics are simply intense and very interesting. The best part of the song is the address she mentions :P
