Amjad Khan & Nirupa Roy Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

The 1980s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 1970s belonged to Suhaag; the 1980s to Chambal Ki Kasam. Amjad Khan acted in every film; Nirupa Roy acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• They first shared screen space in 'Chambal Ki Kasam' (1980), a dacoit drama where Amjad Khan played the villain and Nirupa Roy played his mother — even though he was only 13 years younger than her in real life.
• In 'Do Waqt Ki Roti' (1988), their scenes together are almost entirely built around Nirupa Roy's silent suffering — Amjad Khan's loud, menacing presence made her quiet grief hit harder. He set the volume; she played the silence.
• Despite playing mother-son in two films, Amjad Khan reportedly addressed Nirupa Roy as 'Bhabhi' (sister-in-law) off-camera — a sign of respect from his real-life equation with her, since she was close to his family.
• Nirupa Roy once said in an interview that Amjad Khan was 'the only villain who could make you cry for his mother' — referring to how he played the son in 'Chambal Ki Kasam' with such raw vulnerability that their scenes together felt real.
• Their pairing in 'Santosh' (1989) — where Amjad played a ruthless zamindar and Nirupa his suffering wife — was one of the last times she played a lead role before retiring from active films in the early 90s.
