Amitabh Bachchan (born October 11, 1942) is an Indian film actor. Widely recognised as one of the greatest actors of all time, he is among the most accomplished and influential actors in the history of Indian cinema. Bachchan's dominance in the Indian film industry starting in the early 70s as the "angry young man" of Hindi cinema led the French director François Truffaut to describe him as a "one-man industry". Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including six National Film Awards (four for Best Actor), and sixteen Filmfare Awards (in addition to a record 42 nominations overall). Bachchan has also worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter, and was an elected member of the Indian Parliament from 1984 to 1987.
In medieval India, two powerful families, the Rajputs and the Mughals, have been locked in a bitter feud for generations. When the eldest son of the Rajput clan, Ravi, falls for the beautiful and intelligent daughter of the Mughal leader, Jasmine, the two lovers become embroiled in a dangerous and forbidden romance. Ravi and Jasmine must keep their love hidden from their families, who would never allow them to be together. Despite the threats and violence that surround them, the two hold onto their love and secretly meet to exchange vows and promises of eternal love. As their families become more and more suspicious, Ravi and Jasmine must find a way to escape the hatred and violence that surround them, and start a new life together. However, their plans are foiled when Ravi is caught by Jasmine's brother and sentenced to death. In a desperate attempt to save her lover, Jasmine agrees to marry another man in a political alliance that will end the feud between the two families. But as the wedding day approaches, Ravi escapes his captors and races to stop the ceremony, hoping to convince Jasmine to flee with him. The story reaches its tragic and heart-wrenching conclusion as the two lovers are caught up in the violence of their respective families. In the end, the feud between the Rajputs and Mughals claims the lives of the two young lovers, as their families realize too late the destruction and pain that their hatred has brought upon them.
