Before 102 Not Out, a look at Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor’s films together
102 Not Out will hit the screens on May 4, 2018
Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor, have paired up after a gap of 27 years in this week’s release 102 Not Out.
They were seen together for the last time in 1991 film, Ajooba.
They ruled the Indian silver screen during the 70s and 80s.
If Amitabh Bachchan was the Angry Young Man, Rishi Kapoor was the man who did romantic roles in a style all his own.
Here’s a list of all the films they have worked together in
Kabhi Kabhie (1976): Late Yash Chopra presented the complexities of relationships in this film. While Amitabh Bachchan’s intense lover Amit was at the helm of affairs, Vikram (Rishi Kapoor) takes the baton from him in the second half. The highlight of the film is heated discussions between its primary characters.
Amar Akbar Anthony (1977): One of the most entertaining films in the history of Bollywood, this one presented Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor as brothers who were separated in childhood. Vinod Khanna played the third brother. Director Manmohan Desai’s formula film is known for comic scenes and hit songs.
Naseeb (1981): Isn’t the title song already playing in your head? Manmohan Desai returned to his tried and tested recipe of glorious coincidences and cast Amitabh and Rishi as brothers who fall in love with two sisters. The film’s climax is a masterclass in handling many characters and doing justice to each of them.
Coolie (1983): Prayag Raj and Manmohan Desai are credited as the directors of Coolie, but Desai’s heavy influence is evident on the film. Once again the trick was to charm the audience with a separated in childhood kind of drama, and once again the makers succeeded. Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor played cousins who reunite in the end keeping the tradition of happy endings alive.
Ajooba (1991): Big B and Rishi Kapoor played associates who fight a tyrant in this film directed by Shashi Kapoor. Their pairing was the highlight of the film, but it didn’t work at the box office.
They have also worked together in films like Delhi 6 and Om Shanti Om, but they were more like cameos.
