Kabhi Kabhie (Hindi: कभी कभी, English: Sometimes) is a 1976 Indian Hindiromantic drama film, produced and directed by Yash Chopra, starring an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Raakhee, Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. This was Yash Chopra's second directorial film with Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in the lead roles after Deewaar and was particularly noted for its soundtrack compositions by Khayyam, who won the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director, while film lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi won the Best Lyricist Award for 'Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein,' the song which also got singer Mukesh the Best Male Playback Singer award. The film was a huge hit.^[2]

Kabhi Kabhi has a little bit of everything - love, young love, dreamy love, love denied, and developing love. Although the movie is on the long side, the story keeps one involved and entertained. Compared to more recent movies, the special effects are very dated; however, the love stories of the main characters are engaging.

Story[edit]

Amit Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan) recites one of his poems at a college/university where he meets fellow student Pooja (Raakhee), and they fall in love. But Pooja's parents arrange for her to marry an architect, Vijay Khanna (Shashi Kapoor). A heartbroken Amit returns home and joins his father's business – a construction company – and later marries Anjali (Waheeda Rehman), who secretly has a daughter named Pinky (Neetu Singh) from a pre-marital relationship. Amit and Anjali have a daughter, Sweetie. In the meantime, Pinky is adopted by childless couple Dr. and Mrs. R.P. Kapoor.

Spanning over to the next generation, Pooja and Vijay have a son, Vikram (Rishi Kapoor), also known as 'Vicky', who falls in love with Pinky while they are at a party, and the two plan to get married. When Pinky learns of her adoption and the identity of her real mother, she tries to get close to Anjali. While Anjali eventually acknowledges her existence and secretly showers her love on her reunited daughter, she does not reveal the relationship to her husband, fearing for her marriage. The situation is further complicated by Vicky's attempts to stay close to Pinky and Sweetie's romantic interest in Vicky.

This sets in motion a chain of events that unites old flames as friends.

Production[edit]

The film's concept came to Yash Chopra while he was reading a poem by his longtime friend (and also the film's lyricist) Sahir Ludhianvi. The movie was shot in Kashmir, and Yash Chopra has claimed this to be one of his happiest experiences and he described the production as a 'honeymoon', since the entire cast worked together as a family.^[6] The film also led to the reinvention of Amitabh Bachchan as a romantic poet who loses his love, which was a major departure from his earlier 'angry young man' roles such as Deewaar and Zanjeer. The film had been written with Raakhee in mind, and she had agreed to do it during the making of Daag (1973)^[7] but before production started she married lyricist Gulzar, who wanted her to retire from acting. However, after some persuasion from Yash Chopra, Gulzar let her do the film.
