“Laawaaris” (1981) received a poor rating in the Hindi weekly magazine (Saaptaahik Hindustan) that I used to read those days. The movie reviewer (Ishwar Singh Bais) opined that the best scene in the movie was the scene where “The End” appeared on the screen.

“Satte Pe Satta” (1982) was an adaptation of “Seven Brides for seven brothers”. When Bollywood makers draw inspirations from Western movies, they often spoil the original. This movie is one of the few that manages to remain an enjoyable movie. I have not watched the original, so I cannot say which movie was more fun, but I know for sure that “Satte Pe Satta” had some nice songs that the original movie did not have, 😉

In 1970s, when Amitabh Bachchan ruled the roost, I found it perplexing that Amitabh Bachchan movies with silly plots did good business whereas movies which were truly good in my judgement failed at the box office. To my mind, movies like “The Great Gambler”, and “Deshpremi” weere better movies than say “Muqaddar ka Sikandar” and “Suhaag”, but that is not what the public thought at that time.

Here is another little known fact- Amitabh Bachchan has also worked in a Rajshri productions movie. And this Rajshri production movie was very much a small budget deglamourised affair as was the case for all Rajshri productions movies of those days.
