As he describes the scene’s setting, he introduces the audience to his character Vijay. He visits the temple to offer prayers for his sick mother. The famous opening line of the monologue is “You must be very pleased today,” which is pronounced “Aaj khush toh bahut hoge tum.” Vijay rarely goes to the temple, but he makes an exception for his mother, a devoted follower. He pleads for her to get better quickly and declares that he will accept any punishment in order to protect her.

Fans commented that they got goosebumps at Amitabh‘s rendition of the famous scene. One fan wrote, “Superb ultimate wowww.” Written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, Deewaar featured Amitabh’s Vijay as a top smuggler of Mumbai, while Shashi played his brother, a police officer. Nirupa plays their mother who is torn between her love for her sons on opposite sides of the law.
