Wiki.
Abhimaan (lit.β'Pride') is a 1973 Indian Hindi musical drama film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Asrani, Bindu and David.The film was loosely based on the 1970 Bengali Film Bilambita Loy starring Uttam Kumar and Supriya Devi.
But According to Aalif Surti, the film was also based on the troublesome marriage between two Hindustani classical music maestros, the sitarist Ravi Sankar and the surbahar player Annapurna Devi, though author Raju Bharatan states that Hrishikesh Mukherjee based the film's story on the life of singer Kishore Kumar and his first wife, Ruma Guha Thakurta. The 1954 film A Star Is Born has also been cited as a vague influence.The film is perhaps best remembered for its songs, composed and arranged by S. D. Burman, written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and sung by playback singers Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi. The film was a major hit at the box office and is amongst the earliest hits of Bachchan's career. Jaya Bachchan won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for Abhimaan.
