This blockbuster changed the fate of every star, gave Bollywood two new superstars, even the villain became a legend, film was.., lead actors were... In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go, but some films redefine Indian cinema and leave a deep and everlasting impression. One such example of this is a film that was released in the year 1975. This film was not just a commercial hit, but it was a cultural revolution that redefined storytelling, characterisation, and cinematic scale in India. Even after 50 years of its release, it maintains the status of a cult classic and is remembered fondly for its iconic dialogues, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable characters. Yes, the film that we are talking about is none other than the cult classic Sholay. What's interesting is that when this film was first released, it received an underwhelming response. In fact, in the first three days, the film failed to perform at the box office, leaving the makers worried. As per the reports, the climax was even considered for alteration, and the film was nearly re-released with changes. But destiny had other plans. After the fourth day, the tides turned, and theaters were full for this film. What happened later was nothing that anybody predicted. This film got so much love and appreciation that it created a history of running for over five years at Mumbai's iconic Minerva theatre, a record that very few films have matched. Blockbuster that gave Bollywood two new superstars Not only was this film a commercial hit, but it gave Bollywood its two new superstars. It turned the cast into overnight legends. Amitabh Bachchan as Jai and Dharmendra as Veeru became household names, while Sanjeev Kumar's role as the tough yet emotional retired police officer, Thakur, remains one of his most iconic performances. Hema Malini as Basanti and Jaya Bhaduri as Radha brought elegance and emotion to the story. But it was Amjad Khan's portrayal of the dreaded dacoit Gabbar Singh that became immortal in Indian pop culture. Even today, his dialogues 'Kitne aadmi the?' and 'Jo darr gaya, samjho mar gaya' resonate with the audience and echo after years. Record-Breaking Success Speaking of its budget, this film was shot extensively in the rocky terrains of Ramanagara in Karnataka; the shoot spanned nearly two and a half years. As per the reports, the film was made on a staggering budget of Rs 3 crores. The film earned gold at the box office; it collected Rs 35 crores worldwide and was marked as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of its time. Even today, Sholay resonates with the audience and continues to inspire filmmakers and entertain the audience.

Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's ‘War 2' zooms past War's collection at the end of day 2
War 2, starring Hritik Roshan and Jr NTR, is performing well at the box office. The film's opening was slightly lower than War. However, Day 2 collections increased significantly. War 2's two-day total exceeds War's earnings. Strong word of mouth and repeat viewings are driving the film's success. Trade experts predict War 2 will cross Rs 200 crore in its opening weekend. The highly anticipated War 2 directed by Ayan Mukerji, headlined by Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR , and Kiara Advani , has taken a strong stand at the box office, racing past the numbers of its predecessor War. Back in 2019, War starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff was a game-changer for Hindi cinema's action genre. On its opening day ( 2nd October) , the film had posted Rs 53.35 crore net in India, a staggering figure at the time, powered largely by the Hindi version's Rs 51.60 crore. Day 2, however, saw a significant drop, with collections falling to Rs 24.35 crore, marking a steep 54.35% decline. The two-day total stood at Rs 77.70 crore net. Despite the fall, War went on to be a blockbuster, finishing its run with more than Rs 300 crore in India. Fast forward to 2025, and War 2 has rewritten the script. The film opened on Thursday with Rs 51.5 crore net, slightly below War's Day 1 but still massive by any measure. What stunned the trade, however, was the turnaround on Day 2. Instead of slipping, War 2 soared to an estimated Rs 56.50 crore net of which Rs 44 crore came from Hindi version as per Sacnilk. The numbers were driven by strong word of mouth, Hrithik Roshan's strong fanbase, and repeat viewership for its high-octane action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo This growth of nearly 10% over opening day is extremely rare for a big-budget action film, particularly on a non-holiday and despite mixed reviews the film garnered. The two-day total of War 2 now stands at Rs 108 crore net, eclipsing War's two-day figure of Rs 77.70 crore by a huge margin. This makes War 2 not only a bigger opener in terms of trajectory but also one of the highest-grossing films in India across its first two days in 2025 so far. For Aditya Chopra and Ayan Mukerji, the numbers signal a strong vote of confidence. Trade experts believe War 2 is on course to cross the Rs 200 crore net mark in its opening weekend, a feat that would make it one of the fastest films to do so in Indian box office history.
