Namak Haraam is a drama film directed by Late Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The film stars Late Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Asrani, Raza Murad, Late A. K. Hangal, Simi Garewal and Late Om Shivpuri.

Two best friends decide to exact revenge on the union leader by one of the friend joins the factory and starts working as a Labour. However, when the friend understands the plight of the workers, it creates a rift between the two friends.

What a great film by Hrishi da and this film truly shows his class as a director. Hrishi da had the talent to take the best out of every actor and this film is a prime example of it.

The plot of the film is good and execution is superb, the film is little predictable in nature but presentation is good and will keep you entertained. The film has good drama and is beautifully supported by mesmerizing songs.

Acting is superb and the strongest aspect of the film. Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan both of them compliments each other very well and will give you the glimpse of another masterpiece film Anand but for me in this film Amitabh Bachchan outshone Rajesh Khanna and it seems that the death of the character of Rajesh Khanna backfired this time as the dialogues by Amitabh Bachchan in climax was stunningly great.

Music of the film his mesmerizing and almost all the songs were successful and is still looks great to listen. Climax of the film is strong. A must watch film for all the true cinema lovers.
