Majboor (transl. Compelled) is a 1974 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Ravi Tandon. Written by Salim-Javed (Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar), the film is loosely inspired by two 1970 American films – Zig Zag and Cold Sweat. It stars an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Babi, Pran, Farida Jalal, Sulochana Latkar, D. K. Sapru, Iftekhar, Satyen Kappu, Rehman, and Mac Mohan. Salim-Javed had initially narrated the story of Majboor to Ramesh Sippy, who liked it but wanted to make a film on a larger scale, and it was Tandon who agreed to do and Sippy later made Sholay (1975) with the writer duo.
