Two men, a stolen bike, an endless road. Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) and Veeru (Dharmendra) are hiding from the police, but something else, too, hides in plain sight. An emotion so charged it can only be sung: Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge. This “dosti”, though, packs a lot. Like a typical Bollywood romance, it talks about an eternal bond: “Todenge dum magar, tera saath na chhodenge.” Their lips sing; their bodies talk: they hold hands, squeeze shoulders, lock eyes. They show, yes, but also tell—among others, how to see them—Logon ko aate hain do nazar, hum magar/Dekho do nahin. Nothing, or no one, can separate them. When they spot a woman in a village, they flip a coin to decide who will pursue her. It stands on its rim, implying the obvious: that they’re made for each other.
