This melodramatic saga from director Prakash Mehra was a success on its release in 1978, due in large part to a passionate star turn from Amitabh Bachchan as the title character. Sikandar is an orphan, abused and abandoned at a young age, who finds work with a wealthy man and comfort in the friendship of his daughter Kaamna (Rakhee). Soon, however, he's falsely accused of stealing and thrown out of the house. Working hard, he eventually becomes successful and respected, but he never stops loving Kaamna--not even after a beautiful dancer named Zohra (Rekha) falls for him, making him the target of her lover's vengeful fury, or after Kaamna falls for Sikandra's best friend Vikas (Vinod Khanna). Equal parts action and romance, with vibrant musical numbers and strong performances, this powerhouse of a drama has something to appeal to all viewers.
