Body

Amar Akbar Anthony is a pure entertainer, directed by Manmohan Desai, that combined action, comedy, and melodrama to become a huge box office success when it was released. 

The film tells the story of three brothers—Amar (Vinod Khanna), Akbar (Rishi Kapoor), and Anthony (Amitabh Bachchan)—who are separated in childhood, subsequently adopted by families of different faiths (Hindu, Muslim, and Christian), and finally reunited by fate in adulthood. 

Through some incredible coincidences, miracles, and flights of fancy, where the audience is required to suspend disbelief, the happy ending has the long-lost brothers reuniting to defeat the villains that destroyed their family.
