Shakti (transl. Strength) is a 1982 Indian Hindi-language crime
drama film, directed by Ramesh
Sippy, written by the Salim–Javed duo,
and produced by Mushir-Riaz. It stars Dilip
Kumar, Amitabh
Bachchan, Rakhee
Gulzar, Smita
Patil, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Amrish
Puri. Shakti was notable for being the first
and only film to feature veteran actors Kumar and Bachchan together on screen. Considered
to be one of the greatest films in the history of Indian
cinema, it went on to win four Filmfare
Awards, for Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Sound Editing,
and Best Actor for Kumar. It was inspired by the Tamil film Thangappathakkam.
The film was the 9th highest-grossing Hindi film of 1983. Kumar and
Bachchan were both nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor,
which Kumar won. Talking about Bachchan's performance, Sippy said, "I
don't think anyone else could’ve played the role the way Mr. Bachchan did. He
had to play a hurt and wounded son."
