Big AB in a lead role and perhaps no one noticed it release this week ??
Shatrughan Sinha is the other leading star.

37 Year Old Film Releases

Thursday 15th April 2008 11.00 IST

Mohit Sharma

Yaar Meri Zindagi is a film that commenced shooting in 1971 and took 37 years to release. It was released last week alongside Krazzy 4 and U Me Aur Hum in Mumbai.

The film is about two best friends, one is poor and the other rich but they turn against each other but settle their differences by the end of the movie. The movie belongs to an era that has been left miles behind and releasing at the theatres was asking for trouble and collections proved that as the weekend witnessed viewers in single figures. It would have been better to have a straight DVD/VCD release.

Yaar Meri Zindagi starred Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Sharda, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Sudha Chandran, Jalal Agha and Iftekhar. Direction by Ashok Gupta and music was by legendary music director R. D Burman.

Picked up KMI DVD of this film.
It's a typical KMI print from old film print. Field Averaged converted from PAL. 4.1 GB.


CC shows a length of 3697 meters (135 min).
DVD is 107 min (4% speed up) that's 111-112 min theatrical time.
Film started in 1971
Censor Cert date is March 25, 1996
Theatrical release date is April 2008

There are abrupt scene changes that can be expected in an old film revival that's even further cut in DVD print. Film print too is old. But, mostly actors are in their young age. Only a few scenes where you can notice age difference. A double is used for AB in the climax scenes (in one or two freeze frames you can see the face and it's not AB)

Of interest for nostalgia and young AB-Shatrughan sake. OK to watch for nostalgia sake.

Just 3 songs. One is title song and the other two are Mujra songs.

Actress: Sudha Chandran (Nache Myuri fame) and Sharda. Sharda is paired with AB. imdb IDs it as Sharda IV and this is the only film she is credited with. There must be other Sharda films ??
