Saudagar (1991)
Plot
Saudagar (transl. Merchant) is a 1991 Indian Hindi-language action drama film, directed by Subhash Ghai. It stars Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar, the two acting giants of Hindi cinema in lead roles. It was the second film in which the two actors came together after the 1959 film Paigham. It featured the debut performances of Vivek Mushran and Manisha Koirala, the latter becoming a noted Bollywood actress in later years. Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher, Mukesh Khanna, Dalip Tahil, Gulshan Grover, Dina Pathak, Deepti Naval and Jackie Shroff star in key roles. The story line is influenced by Romeo and Juliet and Mandhaari's role is parallel to that of Friar Laurence in Romeo and Juliet. It was also inspired by the 1985 Pakistani Punjabi movie Haq Mehar. Saudagar was a silver jubilee hit all over India and the third highest grossing Indian film of 1991. It features among the top 10 grossers of the 1990s. Saudagar received eight nominations at the 37th Filmfare Awards, and won two awards including Best Director for Subhash Ghai. It was Dilip Kumar's penultimate film and final box office success.
