Mumbai: Actor Anil Kapoor celebrated the 36th anniversary of his iconic film Tezaab by sharing a special video featuring senior citizens dancing to the famous song "Ek Do Teen Char."
The actor posted the video on his Instagram stories, captioning it, “Celebrating 36 years of Tezaab! The film, the unforgettable music, and the iconic character Mahesh Deshmukh, aka Munna, continue to live on in the hearts of millions. A timeless creation by N. Chandra, with music by Laxmikant Pyarelal, lyrics by @jaduakhtar, and an unforgettable performance by @madhuridixitnene, alongside @anupampkher. Tezaab remains a masterpiece that defined an era!”
The clip shows a group of senior citizens joyfully dancing to the upbeat track "Ek Do Teen Char."
Directed by N. Chandra, Tezaab starred Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles. The romantic action drama became a turning point in Dixit’s career, marking her rise to superstardom after a string of flops. In the film, Kapoor played Mahesh Deshmukh, or Munna, a man seeking revenge against a gang that killed his parents. The movie also features a love story between Munna and Dixit's character, as he fights to rescue her from the same gang.
Released on November 11, 1988, Tezaab was a massive box office success, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. It ran for over 50 weeks in theaters and achieved golden jubilee status. The film was Chandra’s third consecutive success, following hits like Ankush and Pratighaat.
Tezaab became iconic, especially due to the chart-topping song "Ek Do Teen," which continues to be a classic. The film was remade in Telugu as Two Town Rowdy, starring Daggubati Venkatesh, and in Tamil as Rojavai Killathe, with Arjun in the lead. The story also inspired the 2004 Telugu film Varsham, starring Prabhas. Additionally, Tezaab was loosely based on the 1984 Hollywood film Streets of Fire.
Anil Kapoor will next be seen in the film Subedaar, marking his first collaboration with director Suresh Triveni.
