Adhikar (1986 film)
1986 film
Adhikar (transl. Right) is a 1986 Indian Hindi-language film starring Rajesh Khanna and Tina Munim. It is about the struggles of a father to bring up his child after the rich mother has walked out of their life. The film was a remake of Pakistani film Qurbani (1981).
In 1992, Ram Awatar Agnihotri wrote that it was in the films Alag Alag and Adhikar, both opposite Rajesh Khanna that Tina Munim showed the "first sparks" of the dedicated actress she had become. Tina regards her performance in this film as her career best. This was the last film to feature Rajesh Khanna and Tina Munim onscreen together.

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4682530. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 1981 and 1992.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
