Driving on my way back fron office, the radio channel belted out an old song from the movie Qurbani, "Laila oh Laila" and I remembered the 1st time I watched the movie as a teenager..While on one hand you had the super sexy Zeenat Amaan, however one couldn't take his eyes off Amjad khan dressed as a drummer......
Qurbani was Amjad khan at his comical best..His funny act in the Laila song or his scenes with Feroz khan, we're great stuff..
I am just trying to recap some of Amjad khans best work according to me...
The Menacing Gabbar singh ot Sholay....It took great screen presence and confidence to get yourself noticed amidst big stars of the era, Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini & Jaya Bahaduri..Gabbars potrayal still remains a benchmark for enacting dacoit roles
The Father in Lawaaris : Lawaaris, to my mind was as much Bachchans movie as it was Amzad khans..Khan displayed great on screen maturity and sensibility in depicting probably the most nuanced role of his life..In my opinion, Lawaaris was Khans best work
Yaraana : The sacrificing friend act was amother of gem on khans cap..One of the Mega hits of the day, Yaraana established Amjad khan as an actor of mettle
Satte Pe Satta / Parvarish / Kalia & Dilaawar of Muqaddar ka Sikander were movies where Amjad had stellar performances and held his own against the Super star Bachchan..Pran Sikand had slotted himself in character actor roles, to match the heroics of Bachchan , no lesser villian could have stood up to the challenge as effectively as Khan did
