Remember .... What was the first film ever you saw in your life? I remember it very clearly and distinctly. It was "Kartavya". It starred Dharmendra and Rekha. It also had Vinod Mehra. What I still remember is it had lot of wild animals in it. The story was about poarching. I loved the movie.
Now why I asked you all to tell me about your first movie because there is a very funny story about this incident. My aunt had gifted me a toy rifle. The film had a sequence where Dharmendra was fighting the Tigers with the Rifle butt. I was a kid about 4 years old I started to enact the same sequence. The Bed was the Tiger for me, I started hitting it with my toy rifle butt and finally I broke it into two.
The rifle was my favorite toy then and since it was broken while enacting a movie sequence, I still remember it till today.

Then I think about after 1 year I saw the second film in my life. I was mesmerised, and believe me or not I still love to see the movie again and again. The movie was
"Shaan". It had my favorite actor - Amitabh Bachchan and my most favorite Music Director - Rahul Dev Burman. It was a great movie though many scenes where taken from various Bond Films especially from the movie "The Spy Who Loved Me". The film had a memorable acting by Kulbushan Kharbanda who enact the role of "Shakaal" to the perfection. I believe 'Shakaal' was a iconic villian after 'Gabbar Singh' from the path breaking "Sholay" until 'Mocambo' from "Mr.India" became more famous in mid 1980s.
"Shaan" and "Sholay" was directed by Ramesh Sippy. "Shaan" had good music - "Pyar Karne Waale", "Yamma Yamma", "Janu Meri Jaan". R D was at his best. The movie opens with a solid husky voice of Usha Uthup "Doston se Pyaar kiyaa...Dushmano se Badla liya..Jo bhi kiya Hum ne kiya..Shaan se..." along with kind of Bond movie starring atmosphere. I love this movie and is my all time favorite.
