Clerk is a Hindi movie, which was released in 1989. The film was written, produced, directed by and starred Manoj Kumar alongside an ensemble cast including Rekha, Anita Raj, Shashi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Prem Chopra, Sonu Walia as well as Pakistani actors Mohammed Ali and Zeba in their first and only Hindi film appearance. The film did not do well at the box office and was Manoj Kumar's last film featuring him in the leading role. After this film he made one last film appearance playing a small part in Maidan-E-Jung in 1995. This movie has, over the years, been ridiculed for its awful direction and editing.
The film is a story of an honest clerk, Bharat (Manoj Kumar), who along with his family faces immense difficulties owing to their poverty. The plot revolves around the circumstances which force him to become corrupt. In the end he repents and becomes honest again — while also saving his nation from anti-nationals.
The music was composed by Jagdish Khanna, Uttam Singh and Uttam Ghosh. The music was released under T-series.
