Jhuka ke sar ko is a sweet number done in the Western-musical format, interspersed with dialogues. The tempo of the song builds beautifully to first show the brothers' despair as they pine for their respective lady loves and then their excitement as they make their way to kidnap the girls.
Pyar humein kis mod pe is a treat both for the eyes and ears. Every appearance by villainous Babu on screen is accompanied by a scary sound. Annette (a singer in RD's group) used to gargle to create the sound! Even the background score is one of the best ever in Indian films. You can even hear the camera whirring in the background!īurman composed eight near-perfect tracks for the film. It was so difficult that it was not dubbed and the voice recorded in the original shoot was used in the movie. Ravi's drunken scene with Amjad Khan can be compared to the one in his earlier film, Amar Akbar Anthony. Even his hair and eyes are coloured grey! He shows three shades in the movie: the rowdy eldest brother, a sophisticated husband madly in love with his wife and the taciturn villain who is shaded in grey. In a double role, Bachchan is a treat to watch. Amjad Khan was the perfect choice as there weren't many villains who could match Bachchan's charisma.īut the film belonged to two people: Bachchan and music composer R D Burman. Though there were a lot of them, no one looked out of place. Director Raj Sippy handled the characters with expertise. Satte Pe Satta had right doses of humour, music and action. But all's well that ends well as Babu undergoes a change of heart and finds love with the very lady he was sent to kill. He replaces Bachchan with a lookalike, Babu (Amitabh again). This gives Khan an idea as to how he can kill Ranjita. The desperate, lovelorn brothers kidnap the girls one night. Her uncle, Amjad Khan, wants to kill her and inherit her wealth. These girls have just one job - to look after Ranjeeta, who can't walk and is dependent on a wheelchair. The other brothers fall for some girls they spot on a beach. After a lot of drama, the brothers accept her and, more importantly, she accepts them. They find love and support in the form of Hema Malini's character Indu who is Ravi's (Bachchan) lady love. Filthy, ill-mannered and unsophisticated are words that would best describe them. The story revolves around seven brothers (Bachchan, Sudhir, Indrajeet, Kanwaljeet, Shakti Kapoor, Paintal and Sachin) who live in a farmhouse and are ignorant about the rest of the world. Satte Pe Satta's cast included the stars of the decade: Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini and Amjad Khan, with an able supporting cast.
It was a clear drift from the Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee style of comedies that were subtler and had smaller budgets. Released in 1982, Satte Pe Satta was a musical comedy in a truly commercial format. The other film that comes to mind is Parichay based on The Sound Of Music. Based on Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Satte Pe Satta is a treat. If the report turns out to be true, this will be Hrithik and Katrina's third outing after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Bang Bang.Satte Pe Satta is that rare film which passes the test of being a successful remake of a Hollywood movie. In fact, Katrina is quite honoured at the opportunity and she is also excited to play this interesting role." But eventually, they thought Katrina would fit the bill. Considering that it was Hrithik Roshan and also owing to the fact that they needed to fill in the shoes of Hema Maliniji, the makers had a tough choice to make. Talking about it, a source stated to the entertainment portal, "Yes, the makers were considering many top A-list actresses for the role. Now as per reports in Bollywood Hungama, not Deepika, it's Katrina Kaif, who might star opposite Hrithik in Satte Pe Satta remake. Talking about the female lead, a Pinkvilla report suggested that Deepika Padukone is considered for the role. Initially, it was reported that SRK might step into the shoes of Big B, then it was said that Hrithik Roshan has been finalised to play the lead role. Since the time it's known that Farah Khan Kunder will be remaking Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini's hit film Satte Pe Satte, people are waiting to know about the amazing star cast.
