Mumbai: One of the successful and memorable films of Bollywood’s veteran actor Raj Babbar’s film career is ‘Nikah’. The songs of ‘Nikah’, released on 24 September 1982, were so tremendous that they still live on the tongue. The film made 39 years ago under the direction of BR Chopra was on triple talaq. The pain of Muslim women was shown on the silver screen in a very spectacular way by Pakistani actress Salma Agha. Salma was stunned by giving her painful voice to the song ‘Dil Ke Arma Aansoon Mein Bah Gaye’. The film was earlier titled ‘Talaq-Talaq-Talaq’ but after listening to his friend, BR Chopra decided to change it.
Raj Babbar and Salma Agha’s superb chemistry and songs made ‘Nikah’ a super hit. There was a lot of ruckus about the story of this film. Earlier the name of the film was ‘Talaq-Talaq-Talaq’. But the name was changed to ‘Nikah’ to avoid controversy. There is a very interesting incident behind this too.

It is said that a Muslim friend of his came to meet BR Chopra. Within a few words, the talk of the film came out. On hearing the name of the film ‘Talaq-Talaq-Talaq’, he said that hey it will be amazing. Whichever wife will hear the name of the film from her husband, then saying talaq-talaq-divorce thrice, her marriage will be broken and divorce will happen. BR Chopra then realized its seriousness and changed the name of the film to ‘Nikah’ and thus avoided getting into a big trouble.

It was not easy for producer-director BR Chopra to make a film on such a sensitive subject. According to media reports, many people even went to court to stop this film. Well somehow ‘Nikah’ was released, some Muslim organizations against the film put up posters outside theaters, appealing not to watch the film. But the film audience liked it so much that the cinema hall remained housefull.
