Laawaris came in the year 1981 and became synonymous with the song Mere Angne Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai. It appears twice in the film, once rendered by Alka Yagnik (who received her first Filmfare nominations for this particular song) and once by the hero Amitabh Bachchan himself. It went on to become one of the landmark songs of his career. The film too was a super duper hit and notched up another success for the Prakash Mehra-Amitabh Bachchan pairing. The duo had made their mark with Zanjeer and considered by then to be one of the most bankable director-actor combination of Hindi commercial cinema.
Mehra stayed true to his forte and his style. Laawaris packed in a lot of emotional drama with the right amount of humour and of course hum-able scores. The story resolved around Hira ( Amitabh Bachchan), the illegitimate child of Seth Ranbir (Amjad Khan) and Rakhee, a singer. Disowned by Amjad Khan, Rakhee dies heartbroken and young Hira is brought up by an alcoholic beggar Gangu Ganpat (Sreeram Laagoo). Hira grows up believing he is the child of this useless man.
One day he rebels against his adopted father’s atrocious behaviour who then tells him the truth about his birth. He leaves his adoptive father and finds employment with Mahender Babu (Rajender) who unbeknownst to him is his half-brother. In the course of things he gets close to his biological father (Amjad Khan) and his half sister and the rest of the family. He also finds true love in the form of Mohini, a smouldering Zeenat Aman. Things however take a turn for worse when Ranjeet ends up impregnating the sister of another employee (Suresh Oberoi). The resolution of this turmoil and the Hira’s acceptance into the family by his father who gives him his name, (thus removing the tag of ‘illegitimate’) forms the climax of the story.
The film despite being typical masala, commercial Bollywood fare, is worth watching because of the superlative performances, especially by Amitabh Bachchan and Amjad Khan. As has been mentioned before the song ‘Mere Angne Mein became an instant hit and continues to be one of the most popular songs of Hindi films. Amitabh Bachchan continues to perform the said song in all his stage shows, which is a huge draw for audiences abroad. On the whole, Laawaris is a fine example of mainstream Hindi film- larger than life, dramatic, colourful and entertaining and most importantly devoid of lofty pretensions.

Lyrics of songs from the movie "Laawaris":
Apni TO Jaise Taise
Apni to jaise taise
Thodi aise ya waise
Apni to jaise taise
Thodi aise ya waise
Kat jaayegi
Aapka kya hoga janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga
Apne aage na peeche
Na koi upar neeche
Apne aage na peeche
Na koi upar neeche
Ronewala
Na koi ronewali janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga
Aap bhi meri tarah insaan ki aaulad hain
Aap mooh mangi dua
Hum unsooni faryaad hain
Aap bhi meri tarah insaan ki aaulad hain
Aap mooh mangi dua
Hum unsooni faryaad hain
Woh jinhe sara zamana samjhe laawaris yahan
Aap jaise zaalimon ke zulm ki ijaat hain
Gaali huzur ki to
Lagti duaon jaisi
Gaali huzur ki to
Lagti duaon jaisi
Hum dua bhi de to lage hai gaali
Aapka kya hoga janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga hm
Aapke maathe se chhalke jo pasina bhi kahin
Aasma hilne lage aur kaap oothe yeh zameen
Aapka to yeh pasina khoon se bhi keemti
Aur apne khoon ki keemat yahan kuch bhi nahin
Apna to khoon paani
Jeena marna bemaani
Apna to khoon paani
Jeena marna bemaani
Waqt ki har ada hai apni dekhi bhali
Aapka kya hoga janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga
Haan apni to jaise taise
Thodi aise ya waise
Apni to jaise taise
Thodi aise ya waise
Kat jaayegi
Aapka kya hoga janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga
Apne aage na peeche
Na koi upar neeche
Apne aage na peeche
Na koi upar neeche
Ronewala
Na koi ronewali janaabe-aali
Aapka kya hoga

Jiska Koi Nahin
isakaa koee naheen usakaa to khudaa hain yaaro
mai naheen kahataa kitaabon mein likhaa hain yaaro
jisane paidaa kiyaa duniyaan mein wahee paalegaa
hum ko har mod pe, har julm se bachaa legaa
apane bando se kahaa, kab wo judaa hain yaaro
julm insaan kaa jab had se gujar jaataa hai
wo kisee aaur hee soorat mein paas aataa hai
anaginat rup mein wo hum se milaa hain yaaro
-------------------
Kab Ke Bichchde
Kab Ke Bichhade Huye Hum Aaj Kahaa Aa Ke Mile
Jaise Shammaa Se Kahee Lau Ye Zilamilaa Ke Mile
Kab Ke Bichhade Huye Hum Aaj Kahaa Aa Ke Mile
Jaise Saawan Se Kahee Pyaasee Ghataa Chhaa Ke Mile
Baad Muddat Ke Raat Mahakee Hai
Dil Dhadakataa Hai, Saans Bahakee Hai
Pyaar Chhalakaa Hai, Pyaaree Aankhon Se
Surkha Hothhon Pe Aag Dahakee Hai
Mahakee Hawaaon Me, Bahakee Hijaaon Me, Do Pyaase Dil Jo Mile
Jaise Mayakash Koee Saakee Se Dagamagaa Ke Mile
Door Shahanaaee Geet Gaatee Hai
Dil Ke Taaron Ko Chhed Jaatee Hai
Yoo Sapanon Ke Fool Yahaa Khilate Hai
Yoo Duwaa Dil Kee Rang Laatee Hai
Barason Ke Begaane, Ulaft Ke Diwaane, Anajaane Ayese Mile
Jaise Manachaahee Duwaan, Baraso Aajamaa Ke Mile

Kahe Paise Pe Itna
Chaar paise kya mile
Kya mile bhai kya mile
Khud ko samajh baithe khuda
Woh khuda hi jaane ab hoga tera anjaam kya
Kahe paise pe
Kahe paise pe itna guroor kare hain
Kahe paise pe itna guroor kare hain
Yehi paisa to
Yehi paisa to apno se door kare hain
Door kare hain
Kahe paise pe itna guroor kare hain
Guroor kare hain
Sone chaandi ke
Unche mehalo mein
Dard zyada hai, chain thoda hai
Dard zyada hai, chain thoda hai
Is zamane mein, paise walon ne
Pyaar cheena hai, dil ko toda hai
Pyaar cheena hai, dil ko toda hai
Paise ki ehmiyat ko inkaar nahi hai
Paisa hi magar sab kuch sarkaar nahi hai
In ka insaan hai, paisa paisa hai
Dil humara bhi tere jaisa hai
Hai bhala paisa to bura bhi hai
Yeh zeher bhi hai, yeh nasha bhi hai
Yeh zeher bhi hai, yeh nasha bhi hai
Yeh nasha koyi
Yeh nasha koyi dhoka zuroor kare hain
Yehi paisa to haan
Yehi paisa to apno se door kare hain
Door kare hain
Kahe paise pe itna guroor kare hain
Guroor kare hain
Arre chale kahan
Yeh paison se kya kya tum yahan khreedoge
Dil khreedoge ya ke jaan khreedoge
Bazaaron mein pyaar kahan bikta hai
Dukaanon pe yaar kahan bikta hai
Phool bik jaate hai
Khushboo bikti nahi
Jism bik jaate hain
Rooh bikti nahi
Chain bikta nahi
Khwaab bikte nahi
Dil ke armaan betaab bikte nahi
Arre paise se kya kya tum yahan khreedoge
Dil khreedoge ya ke jaan khreedoge
Yeh in hawaon ka mol
Kya doge
Un ghataon ka mol
Kya doge
Arre in zameenon ka mol ho shayad
Aasmanon ka mol, kya doge
Yeh in hawaon ka mol
Kya doge
Un ghataon ka mol
Kya doge
Arre in zameenon ka mol ho shayad
Aasmanon ka mol, kya doge
Paas paisa hai to hai yeh duniya haseen
Duniya haseen
Ho zaroorat se zyada to iman-o-yaqeen
Iman-o-yaqeen
Yeh dimago mein
Yeh dimaago mein kasoor kare hain
Yehi paisa to
Yehi paisa to apno se door kare hain
Door kare hain
Kahe paise pe itna guroor kare hain
Guroor kare hain
