Ek Nazar is a 1972 Bollywood romance film directed by B. R. Ishara. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan in lead roles. This is also the debut film of Raza Murad, who makes an impressive first appearance. The film is one of those lesser known films of Amitabh's early career.

Akash is a poet and writer who while walking through a market one day overhears one of his poems being sung at a courtesan's house. He can't help but go in and meet Shabnam who is a singer and dancer there. She is a admirer of Akash's work but doesn't know him. The acquaintance soon turns into love for each other. But neither the courtesan's mother Amina Bai nor Akash's father is willing for the relationship. Things take a turn when Shabnam is accused of Amina Bai's murder. Can Akash's lawyer friend Ashok save Shabnam ? Will the society accept them being together ? The film answers these questions and also looks at other morals which are placed on others but not on oneself.
