Deewaar (The Wall), is a cult 1975 Hindi film directed by Yash Chopra and written by Salim-Javed. Starring the greatest superstar of Indian cinema Amitabh Bachchan, Deewaar tells the story of two impoverished brothers (played by Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor) who struggle to survive on the indifferent streets of Mumbai after the passing away of their father.
One of them, Shashi Kapoor chooses the path of good, becoming a police officer. Amitabh on the other hand turns into a mafia don and amasses quick wealth and success. This creates an obvious divide or enmity between them, inspiring the title of the film. Deewaar is believed to be based loosely on the real life of one of Mumbai’s iconic gangsters, Haji Mastan. For preparation of his character as a gangster in the film, it is further believed that Amitabh Bachchan met Haji Mastan in person to study his mannerisms.
Deewaar is widely credited for establishing Amitabh Bachchan as the “angry young man” of Bollywood. Actress Parveen Babi was seen as the new age woman in Indian cinema, whose character appears as a liberated woman smoking and drinking, living-in with her lover – defying all traditional norms of the time. The brilliant storyline and dialogues of the film established Salim-Javed as the most sought after writers in Indian cinema. It is believed they were paid as high as actors in subsequent films they worked on, thanks to the success of Deewaar.
Deewaar bagged numerous awards, and is credited as a must see film in Indian cinema. The music of the film was composed by RD Burman. The track “Keh Doon Tumhe” was a chartbuster.
One of the dialogues from the film, “Mere Paas Maa Hai” is regarded as one of the greatest dialogues ever in Indian cinema and has inspired countless spoofs over the years.
Danny Boyle, who described Deewaar as being “absolutely key to Indian cinema”, cited the film as an influence on his Academy Award winning Slumdog Millionaire (2008).

After his last three films, namely Monsieur Verdoux, Limelight and A King in New York failed to attain universal acclaim, Charlie Chaplin’s star power was fading. The Chaplin Revue was an effort to revive his role as The Tramp for modern audiences.
The Chaplin Revue was critically acclaimed when released in 1959, making this original Charlie Chaplin movie poster highly collectible.
Designed, printed and circulated in India somewhere in the 1970s/1980s during the film’s release in India, this Charlie Chaplin movie poster was originally intended for publicity but never ended up being used.
This original Charlie Chaplin India poster features Charlie Chaplin in his trademark Tramp character. Set against a light green background, the poster carries an announcement at the top that reads, “World’s Funniest Things Happen With Chaplin & He Makes The World Laugh!.”
The letter C is capitalized in a large stylized font and makes for an interesting design when juxtaposed with still photographs within.
