Ek Nazar is a 1972 Bollywood romance film directed by B.R. Ishara. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Nadira.
The story was very good and nicely presented. Especially the second
half of the film has many ups and downs, murder mystery, court room
scenes, good acting and family drama. In short, a must see for those who
like to see a complete movie with good story, acting and music. This
film had all the three elements. But unfortunately, this film could do
average business.

Leading lawyer and public prosecutor, Raghunath Tyagi, lives an upper
middle- class life in India with his only son, Akash Manmohan. Raghunath
would like his son to take an interest in law or a business, but all
Akash is interested in is poems. One day Akash overhears one of his
poems being sung by a woman. He is attracted to this woman, whose name
is Shabnam, and would like to marry her. The only problem is his dad,
who is strongly opposed to his son marrying a woman of questionable
character and means - a prostitute. But Akash is adamant, leaves his
dad's house and continues his affair with Shabnam. Shabnam wants to
break free from the brothel madame, Aminabai, and does so, only to find
that Aminabai has sold her to a man named Nawab for Rs.20,000/-. Angered
at Aminabai, Shabnam goes to confront her, and as a result Amina is
killed, and Shabnam is arrested and charged with first degree murder -
the punishment for which, under Section 302 of the Indian Pencal Code is
Life Imprisonment or Death. And it is the death sentence that the
Public Prosecutor Tyagi would like to see carried out on Shabnam, who he
considers a problem for himself and his son.
