Chinatown updated
Zeenat Aman
The 1978 movie Dom featuring Amitabh Bachchan is a colour remake of the the 1956 Black & white film Chinatown featuring Shammi Kapoor.
The plot centres around a character, in the original he is a singer, who is asked by the police to infiltrate a gang safter the death of the gang's leader in a car chase. The only person who knows of the death is the Police Inspector chasing him.
Zeenat Aman plays the singer who is in love with the leader, and suspects that the lookalike is not the leader, but she has her reasons for not outing him. This role was played by Helen Richardson Khan in the original.
Helen also appears in this version as the mother with a secret of her own to tell.
Both films are for sale on my eBay page.
