Wiki.
Waqt (translation: Time) is a 1965 Indian Hindi-language Bollywood drama film directed by Yash Chopra, produced by B. R. Chopra and written by Akhtar Mirza and Akhtar-Ul-Iman. It was included in the British Film Institute's long list of films in consideration for its top ten of Indian films award. Released in India on 30 July 1965, the film stars an ensemble cast of Sunil Dutt, Raaj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana Shivdasani, Sharmila Tagore, Balraj Sahni, Achala Sachdev, Rehman and Madan Puri. It pioneered the concept of films with multiple stars, starting a trend followed by other films. The film took the top spot at the box office in 1965. The plot of the movie re-introduced the "lost and reunite" formula to Bollywood, originally featured in the 1943 Ashok Kumar, Mumtaz Shanti film Kismet. A happy family separated by waqt (time) goes through a series of trials trying to reunite. The film was later remade in Telugu as Bhale Abbayilu (1969) and in Malayalam as Kolilakkam (1981).
The film contains the Hindi songs "Hum Jab Simat Ke", sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle, "Waqt se din aur raat", sung by Mohammed Rafi, "Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu", sung by Asha Bhosle and "Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen", sung by Manna Dey, composed by Ravi and picturised on Balraj Sahni and Achala Sachdev.
