Truly one of the classic films of Bollywood. The film centers around class/caste differences, impossible love , and injustice in a world ruled by prejudice."Muqaddar Ka Sikandar" is perhaps the most melodramatic story of unrequited love to have ever been put to film. "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar" ranks as one of the top three films in the canon of Amitabh Bachchan's angry young man films of the 1970s. Director Prakash Mehra, also made what is considered the original 'angry young man' film "Zanjeer" [1973]. |
