It is 43 years
since the release of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s
Abhimaan/July 1973 but the film is still fresh in our memories. We still
listen to the music of the filmin our car and become nostalgic. Everytime the
film is shown on television I stop to watch one more scene and end up watching
the entire film again. It is called the power of the medium. The digital media
is full of annecdotes on the film and the cast but we are always hungry for
more details. The film was ghost produced by Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri
that is why it was called Amiya Productions. Jaya wore her personal saris in
the film. The film was originally titled Raag
Ragini but Hrishida changed it at the last minute to Abhimaan because he felt it better suited the story. Amitabh and
Jaya got married during the film and shot the climax after they returned from
their honeymoon.
