Wiki.

Laawaris (transl. Orphan) is a 1981 Indian masala film directed and produced by Prakash Mehra. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, and Amjad Khan in lead roles. It follows the story of an orphan who embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about his parents.

The film gained notable recognition for its song "Mere Angene Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai" (roughly translated as: "In my courtyard, what is your purpose?"). The song was rendered twice: first by a young Alka Yagnik, earning her a Filmfare nomination for Best Female Playback Singer, and later by Amitabh Bachchan. Bachchan's comedic performance in drag during the second rendition contributed to the song's immense popularity. The lyrics humorously pay tribute to wives of all types, regardless of their physical appearance. The song remains popular among audiences to this day.

Laawaris was a commercial success, declared a "super-hit" at the box office by Box Office India. It ranked as the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 1981. The film also received additional Filmfare nominations, including Best Actor for Amitabh Bachchan and Best Supporting Actor for Suresh Oberoi.
