Amar Akbar Anthony is a 1977 Bollywood blockbuster directed by Manmohan Desai. The film starred Amitabh Bachchan (as Anthony Gonsalves), Vinod Khanna (as Amar) and Rishi Kapoor (as Akbar). Amar Akbar Anthony was a golden jubilee at the box office and has been catapulted to cult status over the years, establishing itself as a landmark in the “Bollywood masala” genre. The film was ahead of its time, in that it was one of the first films to exploit merchandising to both generate revenues as well as publicity.

Songs from Amar Akbar Anthony composed by the music composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal became a rage throughout the nation. Tracks like “Parda Hai Parda” sung by Mohammed Rafi, “My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves” sung by Kishore Kumar and “Anhoni Ko Honi Karde” are fondly remembered and played till date.
