Movie Connections:

Featured in Raja Babu (1994)

Trishul is a very good film.

Trishul is Amitabh Bachchan's block buster film of year 1978. Film is based on father and son's relationship. Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar done so well in this film. Other characters are only have time-pass work. Shashi Kapoor worked as side hero. His work in this film is only to flirt girls and sing songs. Rakhi is Amitabh Bachchan's heroine. Her roll is only to tell quota of cement to Sanjeev Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. Hemamalini is Shashi Kapoor's heroine. She looked so beautiful in bell-bottom pants and shirts in song "Jaaneman Tum Kamal Karti Ho" In this song She wear four types of pant-shirts. I think she is so comfortable in pant-shirts. Otherwise she always wear saris in films. Another search of this film is actress Poonam Dhillon. She looked so amazing in this film. She also wear lot of bell-bottoms and pants in this film. This Punjaban make space in Ur heart. Overall film is colorful with bell-bottom pants and shirts.
