In Deewaar (1975), Vijay, played by Amitabh Bachchan, faces his brother Ravi, a police inspector, played by Shashi Kapoor. Vijay lists what he owns. Aaj mere paas building hai, property hai, bank balance hai, bangla hai, gaadi hai… kya hai tumhare paas? Today I have buildings, property, a bank balance, a bungalow, a car. What do you have? Ravi answers: Mere paas maa hai. I have mother.
