Yaarana (transl. "Friendship") previously titled Yaar Mera is a 1981 Indian musical drama film directed by Rakesh Kumar, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Amjad Khan, Neetu Singh, Tanuja, and Kader Khan. The plot of the film is based on Karna and Duryodhana’s friendship from the Mahabharata. This was one of the films where Amjad Khan plays a positive role. Nearly all of his other films with Amitabh Bachchan have had him playing a villain role.
One of the highlights of the film was its music by Rajesh Roshan and lyrics by Anjaan.
Three songs, "Chhookar Mere Mann Ko," "Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan," and "Saara Zamana Haseeno Ka Deewana", all sung by Kishore Kumar, were super-hits and are still loved. "Saara Zamana Haseeno Ka Deewana" is particularly noteworthy because of Amitabh Bachchan's dance with clothes fitted with electric bulbs, which he himself operated from under his clothing, maintaining complete synchronization while dancing.
