          Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan invested their own money in the project under the name of a production house called AMIYA. AMI for Amitabh YA For Jaya. As the film did not do good business they both lost thier investment. The copyrights are owned by one of thier secretaries who was looking after the nitty gritty details at the time.

        Jaya Bachchan's performance is stupendous!

        This is a rather ordinary film UNTIL Jaya Bachchan makes her appearance. From that moment on the film gathers life and breath.

        Touching tale of the marriage between a very popular singer (played by Amitabh Bachchan) and a simple, devout country girl. (Jaya Bachchan)

        All goes well until the public begins to prefer the wife's singing over that of her husband. Arrogance, jealousy and envy possess him.....and.......a lot happens.

        I won't say more.

        See it for yourself.

        Jaya is completely amazing.....especially in the last 30 minutes.
