Amar Akbar Anthony (Produced and Directed by Manmohan Desai) is one of the best Indian movies ever made. The story is slightly different compared to the usual Bollywood movies. Three brothers including the parents are separated at birth. One is found and brought up a Hindu, another Christian cleric and the smallest by a Muslim tailor and raised according their adopted parents. Therefore the eldest becomes a Hindu police officer, the middle son becomes a Muslim tailor and finally the youngest a Christian comic and liquor dealer. The film depicts the descending demographic order; the Hindu (80%), Muslim (15%), and Christian (3%) communities of India living in complete unity, harmony and brotherhood.
