    • Trivia
      Amitabh Bachchan had become extremely popular after the success of Zanjeer (1973) and Majboor (1974), hence there was immense craze for Deewar. The fans had lined up from Marine Drive till Minerva (Mumbai) at the premiere of the film. The sheer frenzy surrounding the movie completely caught everyone off guard as no one had ever foreseen this kind of mob hysteria.

      In the awards scene at the start, Nirupa Roy is shown again in the audience after she goes on the stage.
    • Quotes

      Vijay: Your principles, your ideals? What work are your principles of? What work are your ideals of? All your principles mashed up together couldn't make up one time of bread Ravi ! The ideals for which you are ready to play from your life, what has they given you? One rented quarter, a rundown police car, two pairs of brown uniform. Watch, watch today this is all me, today this is all you, we both have stood up together from this pathway, but today where have you remained and where have I arrived. Today I have a bungalow, car, bank balance. What do you have?

      Ravi: I have mother.

    Excellent Performances, Script & Direction - A CLASSIC !
    This movie can be termed as one of the best in the annals of Indian Cinema history. A perfect script by Salim-Javed and equally captivating direction by Yash Chopra makes this movie a treat to watch. Amitabh as usual lives his role as Vijay. Every dialogue, body language of his is just extraordinary. The only drawback of this otherwise class movie is its music.

    The movie released during the tensions then prevailing in India made the people to identify with the character of Vijay (Amitabh). Was a stupendous hit and is still considered a classic. On totality the movie is a treat to watch.
