Wiki.

Desh Premee (transl. The Patriot) is a 1982 Hindi action film directed by Manmohan Desai, starring Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role alongside an ensemble cast including Hema Malini, Navin Nischol, Parveen Babi, Uttam Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, Premnath, Parikshit Sahni, Amjad Khan and Sharmila Tagore. The film has musical score by Lakshmikant-Pyarelal duo. This is one of the last films of the legendary actor Uttam Kumar.

It was the fifth collaboration of Manmohan Desai and Amitabh Bachchan. The film fell short of the standards of the previous Amitabh Bachchan — Manmohan Desai duo's film garnering mixed reviews but ended up as an moderate success grosser at the box office. It celebrated silver jubilee at Venkataramana 70mm A/c (3 shows) in Hyderabad.

The film is dedicated to the memory of Mohammed Rafi, who sang the film's title song and one of its cast members Uttam Kumar, both of whom died two years before the film was released. This was the only film for which music director Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar was also a playback singer for one song. The songs were penned by Anand Bakshi.
