Gulzar's 'Angoor' (1982) is a Hindi comedy adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors', featuring double roles and mistaken identities. Option B is correct. 'Maqbool' is based on Macbeth, while 'Chupke Chupke' and 'Golmaal' are original comedies not based on Shakespeare.

Mithun Chakraborty won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his debut film 'Mrigayaa' (1976), which is a rare achievement. Note: Shabana Azmi also won Best Actress for her debut 'Ankur' (1974), making this a potentially ambiguous question.

Salman Khan's debut Hindi film was 'Biwi Ho To Aisi' (1988), where he played a supporting role. His first leading role was in 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' (1989).

Tere Naam (2003) starring Salman Khan was the official Hindi remake of the Tamil film Sethu (1999) starring Vikram. The other listed films - Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, Garv, and Wanted - are different Salman Khan movies and not remakes of Sethu.

Mithun Chakraborty played the main negative role in Salman Khan's home production 'Lucky: No Time for Love' (2005). The other options listed are incorrect for this specific film - Amrish Puri and Punit Issar were not the main villain in Lucky, and Imran Khan wasn't in this film.

Salman Khan won his first Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), where he played Aman Mehra. This was the only Filmfare award he had received when this question was written (though he has won others since). Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam earned him a nomination, but Maine Pyaar Kiya and Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge did not win him Filmfare awards.

Director Shankar started his film career working as an assistant director under Pavithran. He worked on films like 'Vasanthakala Paravai' (1988) and 'Kadhalan' (1994) before making his directorial debut. Pavithran was a Tamil director who gave Shankar his initial training and exposure in the film industry.

Panneer Pushpangal (1983) was indeed the first film where directors Santhanabharathy and P Vasu collaborated. This launched their successful directorial partnership in Tamil cinema. Theertha karaiyinile came later in their careers.

Puriyatha Puthir (1990) was KS Ravikumar's directorial debut, launching his successful career as a leading Tamil filmmaker. Cheran Pandian and Nattamai were his later works. Keezhvanam Sivakkuthu is not among his major films.

Pananakkaran (1992) marked the first collaboration between Rajinikanth and director P Vasu. Mannan, Pandiyan, and Uzhaipali were Rajini films but not with P Vasu. This combo delivered several hits later.

Vanmathi (1995) was the first film where Ajith Kumar worked with director Agathiyan. Kathal Kottai came later in their collaboration. Pavithra and Rajavin Paarvaiyile were Ajith's other early films with different directors.

Uruthimozhi (1989) was the first film combining actor Karthik and director RV Uthayakumar. This launched their successful partnership in Tamil cinema. Ponnumani and Nanthavana Theru were other notable Karthik films, and Kizhakku Vasalile was a different collaboration.

Kurumbu (2003) was Vishnuvardhan's directorial debut, launching his career as a prominent Tamil filmmaker. Arinthum Ariyamalum and Billa were his later, more established works. Karumbu appears to be a misspelling or distractor.
