What happens

Dooriyaan (Hindi pronunciation: [duːriːjɑ̃]; transl. Distances) is a 1979 Hindi-language drama film co-written, produced and directed by Bhimsain under the banner of Climb Films, from a story by Shanker Shesh. It stars Uttam Kumar and Sharmila Tagore in the lead roles, while Shreeram Lagoo, Kireet Khurana and Sudha Chopra play supporting roles. The film follows a married and career-focused couple's personal ambitions leading to marital discord and their eventual separation. The film pairs Kumar and Tagore for the sixth time, also marking Kumar's sixth film in Hindi cinema. The soundtrack of the film is composed by Jaidev, with lyrics penned by Sudarshan Faakir. A. K. Bir handled its cinematography, while Ishwar Chandra edited the film. Dooriyaan was theatrically released on 6 July 1979, opening to positive reviews; critics were appraisal of its story, direction, cinematography and the performances by Kumar and Tagore. Despite its chartbuster soundtrack, the film became a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
