New Delhi, At the mention of Bollywood cult classic films, the names of many films might have come to your mind, but most of these cult-classic films have one thing in common that these films did not get the recognition they deserved at that time. Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha and Jaya Bachchan starrer film ‘Silisala’, released 43 years ago, was also one such film. Although today the audience appreciates this film, but at the time of release this movie was completely rejected.
Although often the makers shy away from taking the risk of showing any concept on screen ahead of time, but when a maker goes ahead of time and shows a new concept, then he has to pay the price for it and such is the fame. It happened with Chopra also. The film ‘Silsila’ directed by Yash Chopra was badly flopped at the box office.
In this film of Yash Chopra, along with a triangular love story, an extra-marital affair is also seen. The story of this film is woven around the character of Amitabh Bachchan, who out of compulsion sacrifices his love and marries his younger brother’s fiancee. Actually, Amitabh Bachchan’s brother dies and his fiancee becomes pregnant, in such a situation Amitabh Bachchan, buried under the ideals of the society, sacrifices his love.
Now years later, when Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) meets his ex-girlfriend Chandni (Rekha), he decides to end his loveless marriage with Shobha (Jaya Bachchan) and give his old love a chance again. Let’s decide to give. In such a situation, the audience completely rejected the concept of falling in love with another woman while being married. However, the songs of the film were very much liked.
The songs became very popular
Songs of ‘Silsila’ like ‘Rang Barse’, ‘Dekha Ek Khwaab’, ‘Ladki Hai Ya Shola’, ‘Neela Aasman So Gaya’, ‘Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye’ became very popular. Even today, the song ‘Rang Barse’ from the film ‘Rang Barse’ is the life of every party during Holi, while ‘Dekha Ek Khwaab..’ is counted among the most romantic songs of Bollywood.
The film was liked abroad
This film may not have been able to earn money in the country, but this film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Rekha had printed a lot of money abroad. Especially the lovers of Hindi cinema living in England and America had showered their love on this film wholeheartedly.
