Awam is a Hindi film released in 1987 with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role and supported by Shafi Inamdar, Ashok Kumar, Raj Babbar, Nana Patekar, Smita Patil and Poonam Dhillon. In this film, the playback singing for Rajesh Khanna was done by Mahendra Kapoor.
The film did not meet expectations of the director who expected it to be a blockbuster. Instead it became platinum jubilee hit. The National Film Development Corporation of India noted that Veteran producerdirector BR Chopra could not capture the box office with Awam the way he wanted and film was supposed to have been a slick political thriller of current events. It received only two stars in the Bollywood guide Collections.
