He dedicated his monologue to his mother.

In a rare video posted on Twitter in honor of the 48th anniversary of the 1975 Hindi film Deewaar, Amitabh Bachchan performs a memorable performance for his mother Teji Bachchan. The actor pleased the audience by devoting his speech to his mother while performing at the Jumma Chumma abroad concert in 1991.

An Amitabh fan shared the video on Twitter with the caption, “Amitabh Bachchan Performing on stage his monologue from the film Deewaar ~ Dynamic & Powerful @SrBachchan (Jumma Chumma Concert 1991) Must watch ! 48 years of #Deewaar.” Walking on stage, the actor addresses the audience and shares, “This one is from a scene that is a particular favourite of mine.

As he describes the scene’s setting, he introduces the audience to his character Vijay. He visits the temple to offer prayers for his sick mother. The famous opening line of the monologue is “You must be very pleased today,” which is pronounced “Aaj khush toh bahut hoge tum.” Vijay rarely goes to the temple, but he makes an exception for his mother, a devoted follower. He pleads for her to get better quickly and declares that he will accept any punishment in order to protect her.

Fans commented that they got goosebumps at Amitabh‘s rendition of the famous scene. One fan wrote, “Superb ultimate wowww.” Written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, Deewaar featured Amitabh’s Vijay as a top smuggler of Mumbai, while Shashi played his brother, a police officer. Nirupa plays their mother who is torn between her love for her sons on opposite sides of the law.

The award-winning film picked up seven Filmfare Awards in 1976, including Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Dialogue, Best Director, Best Sound, Best Story, and Best Supporting Actor for Shashi. Amitabh and Nirupa were also nominated for their performances but it was Shashi and the other iconic line, ‘Mere paas maa hain (I have my mother),” that ended up with the trophy.

Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan worked together on some of the most iconic Bollywood films.
Javed spoke about their partnership.
How Salim had encouraged him to become a screenwriter in the first place.

Screenwriters Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar collaborated on some of the most well-known Bollywood movies, including Sholay, Don, Deewaar, and Zanjeer, among many more. In a recent interview, Javed discussed their collaboration and how Salim had first urged him to pursue a career as a screenwriter. The lyricist also discussed how they split up after more than ten years of collaboration.

Javed also said that he intended to be a film director before becoming a writer and lyricist in the latest interview. Javed claimed that he met Salim, the father of actor Salman Khan while working as an assistant director and dialogue writer on the 1966 movie Sarhadi Lutera. Salim has a minor part to play in the movie.

Salim Saab unn chand logo mein se the jo mujhe boht encourage karte the, says Javed Akhtar about his connection with Salim Khan. Salim was one of the few who would support me. Agar shayad main kahin aur reh raha hota toh itni mulaqat na hoti unse lekin ab paas mein mujhe mil gaya kamra toh main aksar chala jata tha. We might not have interacted as frequently if I had been living somewhere else, but I was able to get a room near his house.

Javed elaborated on his relationship with Salim Khan by recalling how and why their working relationship ended. He claimed that as soon as they achieved prosperity, their individual lives grew to be stronger than their relationship.

“Shuru mein jab hum nakaam log the, struggle kar rahe the, toh bilkul ek the. Koi humare aur dost nahi the, hum hi baith ke subah se shaam tak kaam karte the. Shaam ko bhi saath the, raat ko khana bhi saath hota tha. 24 mein se 15-16 hours toh saath hi hote the… Jab kamyabi ayi, toh naye naye log zindagi mein ana shuru ho gaye aur voh circle dheere dheere alag ho gaye. Toh voh mental rapport tha humara, voh toot gaya. Toh fir woh kaam nahi ho sakta tha (In our struggling days, we were one tea. We did not have any other friends, we would work together from morning till evening. We would even have meals together. Out of 24 hours, we would spend 15-16 hours with each other. But as we became successful, new people came into our lives and our friend’s circle got separated. The mental rapport we had was broken. We could no longer work as a team).”

Salim-Javed, as they came to be called, is arguably one of the most significant and potent authors in the history of Hindi cinema, and it was their 1973 picture Zanjeer that popularized the stereotype of the “angry young man” that appeared in many of Amitabh Bachchan’s films from the 1970s and 1980s. Sholay, a 1975 film by Salim-Javed, is still regarded as one of India’s most famous movies.
