Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Aitbaar was part of 1985's Hitchcock wave in Bombay cinema—alongside Saagar and Yeh Nazdeekiyan, filmmakers were obsessed with claustrophobic urban marriages gone wrong.

Trivia

Raj Babbar supposedly learned tennis specifically for this role, then barely plays on screen. The real sport was psychological warfare.
