Zeenat Aman & Amjad Khan Movies Together List — 11 Films

The shape of the work

Zeenat Aman acted in every film; Amjad Khan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Zeenat Aman was the one who pushed for Amjad Khan to play the villain in Qurbani (1980). The director Feroz Khan wanted someone else, but Zeenat insisted Amjad had the right menace. That film became a massive hit and cemented their on-screen pairing.
• In Mahaan (1983), Amjad Khan played a blind villain. Zeenat Aman would physically guide him through fight scenes off-camera, then step into frame at the last second. She set the rhythm; he followed her cues. That trust made their confrontations feel real.
• Their film Laawaris (1981) introduced the song 'Mere Angne Mein' — a track that became a wedding staple across North India. The film's success directly led to a wave of 'angry young man' vs 'glamorous woman' pairings in the early 80s.
• On the sets of Ram Balram (1980), Zeenat and Amjad developed a running joke: every time a scene required them to argue, they'd break character and laugh about how they were actually the calmest people on set. The crew called them 'the peacemakers'.
• Zeenat Aman once said in an interview: 'Amjad was the only co-star who could make me forget my lines. He'd improvise so brilliantly that I'd just stand there, listening, before remembering I had to reply.'
• In Daulat (1982), a film that flopped, Zeenat and Amjad deliberately played against type — she was the schemer, he was the victim. They swapped their usual power dynamic. It didn't save the movie, but critics noted how they made each other uncomfortable on screen, which was the point.
