Synopsis A landmark ‘super hit’ about two brothers on morally divergent paths (a popular Indian story trope) on the mean streets of 70’s Bombay. Amitabh plays Vijay, a super-stylish underworld boss while Kapoor plays Ravi, the policeman charged with hunting Vijay down. Deewar swept the board at the ’76 Filmfare Awards and cemented Bachchan’s Angry Young Man persona that made him an icon. Danny Boyle described Deewar as, “absolutely key to Indian cinema.”
