"Waaris" is a Bollywood movie that was released in 1988. It was directed by Ravikant Nagaich and produced by Tahir Hussain. The film stars Raj Babbar, Smita Patil, Amrita Singh, and Raj Kiran in lead roles.
The movie revolves around a young woman named Reshma (Smita Patil) who is forced to marry a wealthy but abusive man named Thakur Shamsher Singh (Amrish Puri) against her will. Reshma gives birth to a son, Heera, who becomes the center of a bitter custody battle between her and her husband's family after Shamsher dies. Heera is eventually taken away by his grandfather (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), who raises him to be a warrior and a protector of their family's honor.
"Waaris" was a critical and commercial success, earning Smita Patil a posthumous Filmfare Award for Best Actress. The film was praised for its strong performances, especially by Patil and Raj Babbar, as well as its exploration of themes such as patriarchy, gender roles, and social inequality. The film's soundtrack, composed by Uttam-Jagdish, also received positive reviews, with the song "Mere Pyaar Ki Umar Ho" becoming a hit.
