A Bollywood marital drama that's relevant even after 50 years
As the 1973 Bollywood hit film Abhimaan, with superstar Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya in the lead, turns 50 this year, the BBC examines the enduring charm and impact of this movie.
Director Hrishikesh Mukherjee paired Bachchan with his wife Jaya - the couple were in love and had married just a month before its release - and she won the prestigious Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance. Fans visited cinemas in droves, entire families including parents and young children packed theatres, crowding the matinee and evening shows.
"Of course I didn't understand it the first time, but I enjoyed the music and the songs. I've watched it many times since then and I've loved it each time a bit more," she told me. Mr Chatterjee says Abhimaan will always be discussed as "a high point" of Bachchan's career because it was "a film where he was not just made to fit the masculine, angry young man template".
