Deewar has had a very strong influence in enhancing the persona of Amitabh Bachchan's "Angry Young Man" - a rebel who takes on the system and almost single-handedly revolutionizes the thought process surrounding workers' rights. In the end, the film shows the triumph of righteousness, as his own brother kills him. Shivendra Singh Dungarpur says,"The intensity and drama between the two brothers and their mother, combined with the way the angry young man became a powerful symbol after this film, are unforgettable. Deewar cemented Amitaji's legacy as Angry Young Man.
It was also a very different kind of Yash Chopra film. Yash ji, who was known for romantic films like Waqt and Ittefaq, had not done films like this before. The backdrop of the film had Haji Mastan’s control over Bombay. What's interesting is that Salim-Javed wrote what society was at that time.
Before Deewar, not many films showed Bombay the way it was shown in this film. This was among the first films to explore the underbelly of Bombay."
