Kabhie Kabhie (1976 film) 映画俳優 リスト (Cast)

Kabhie Kabhie (translation: Sometimes) is a 1976 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film written by Pamela Chopra and directed and produced by Yash Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Raakhee Gulzar, Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor, and Neetu Singh in an ensemble cast and was released theatrically on 27 February 1976. The narrative spans across generations, exploring the lingering emotions of lost love and its impact on a married couple, their children, and the people around them.

Marking Chopra's second directorial collaboration with Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor following Deewaar (1975), the film is particularly noted for its poetic lyricism and the evocative soundtrack composed by Khayyam, with lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi. The title song, "Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein," became a cultural touchstone, with playback rendered by Mukesh. Principal photography took place in Kashmir and Mumbai, with cinematography by Romesh Bhalla and Kay Gee.

The film emerged as a commercial success, earning an estimated ₹40 million and ranking as the eighth-highest grossing Hindi film of the year. At the 24th Filmfare Awards, Kabhi Kabhie led the ceremony with 13 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Yash Chopra), Best Actor (Bachchan), Best Actress (Raakhee, who won for Tapasya instead), Best Supporting Actor (Shashi Kapoor) and Best Supporting Actress (Rehman). It won four awards—Best Music Director (Khayyam), Best Dialogue, Best Lyricist (Sahir Ludhianvi) and Best Male Playback Singer (Mukesh), the latter two for the song "Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein".

In the years since its release, Kabhi Kabhie has come to be regarded as a seminal romantic drama that marked a shift in Chopra’s cinematic tone toward more poetic, multi-generational love stories. The principal cast—Bachchan, Raakhee, Kapoor, and Rehman—later reunited for Chopra’s Trishul (1978).
