Marriage does not imply that you cease loving the person you haven’t married (or that you begin love the person you have). This home truth, which had previously been limited to hushed whispers, was revealed in Silsila in a loud and up-close manner.The film stars Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan, as well as Rekha, and the real-life casting was too near for comfort for the public.

Bachchan appears to be ready to shoot his opponents to hell, but he has a soft heart that beats for his mother, wife, and sister. His motivation for becoming a lawbreaker is to exact revenge on those who have wronged him.
