In the golden era of Bollywood, many films came and went. While a few were great entertainers, some rare films stood out that resonate with the audience even today.

The film that we are talking about is none other than 'Saudagar'. Released in the year 1991, the film's plot revolves around friendship and animosity. The film features a power-packed cast with Vivek Mushran and Manisha Koirala in the lead and Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher, Mukesh Khanna, Dalip Tahil, Gulshan Grover, Dina Pathak, and Jackie Shroff in supporting roles.
This Subash Ghai film was inspired by a Punjabi film called 'Haq Mehar' and it broke records by becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year 1991. The plot of the film revolves around an old disabled man named Mandhari, who shares the story of two friends with some kids. One of the two friends happens to be the son of a rich landlord, and the other is the son of a poor farmer. Both of them became good friends. Both of them used to call each other Raju and Veeru. When both of them grow up, the film takes a turn that will keep the audience hooked and entertained throughout.
Becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 1991, this film collected Rs. Rs 15.75 crores, and its songs became a superhit.
Even after 34 years since its release, Saudagar resonates with the audience even today and is a cult classic. So if you are in the mood for nostalgia, that can entertain you as well as give a message, you must add this in your must watch list.

Housefull 5 Director Defends 'Sexist' Label: ‘My Lead Boys Are Showing Their But*s'
Last Updated: Tarun Mansukhani hit back at the backlash, arguing that flawed characters don't necessarily reflect the personal beliefs of the filmmaker. Tarun Mansukhani, director of the recently released Housefull 5, has addressed the growing criticism surrounding the film's allegedly sexist and objectifying portrayal of women. While the comedy has become a box office hit, crossing Rs 200 crore worldwide, several viewers and critics have raised concerns about its heavy use of sexual innuendos and the portrayal of female characters in revealing outfits. In an interview with Just Too Filmy, Mansukhani hit back at the backlash, arguing that flawed characters don't necessarily reflect the personal beliefs of the filmmaker. 'Every film, every frame of the character, is not the reflection of the director's life. The character is flawed, sure, but why can't he be flawed? Why can't he be misogynistic or sexist? That is who he is," he said. He further added that objectification isn't one-sided and pointed to the portrayal of male actors in the film. 'A lot of people have told me a lot of things about girls being objectified. Dino Morea is shirtless all the time. Nobody says anything. My three lead boys are showing their butt. Cheeky, isn't it? But nobody says anything. It is as you wish to see it, and it is fine. As long as you feel about it, sure," he noted. The director also expressed disappointment over the nature of film criticism today. Instead of critiquing technical aspects or storytelling techniques, he feels the discourse has become personal. 'I wish they would criticise technique, my storytelling. I wish they criticised other departments they are meant to criticise. Right now, it seems more critical opinions come on a personal basis. I have a problem with people who turn around and say, 'Oh, don't watch this film.' Our industry is already going through turbulent times, don't find ways to make it worse," he said. Housefull 5 features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Johny Lever, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. The film, set on a cruise and involving a whodunit murder mystery, has been embraced by audiences despite its polarising content. First Published:

Karisma's Father Randhir Kapoor Never Wanted Her To Marry Sunjay Kapur: 'He's A Third-Class Man'
Last Updated: In 2003, Karisma tied the knot with Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur. The marriage, however, did not stand the test of time and ended in a bitter and prolonged legal battle. Karisma Kapoor, once engaged to Abhishek Bachchan in 2002, was poised to become the Bachchan family's bahu. But their highly publicised engagement ended just months later. In 2003, Karisma tied the knot with Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur. The marriage, however, did not stand the test of time and ended in a bitter and prolonged legal battle. While the couple was parents to two children, their divorce, finalised in 2016, became a talking point in the media due to the serious allegations involved. Karisma accused Sunjay of domestic abuse, while Sunjay alleged that she had married him only for money. Veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, Karisma's father, had always been vocal about his disapproval of the marriage. In a 2016 interview with Hindustan Times, Randhir lashed out at Sunjay and said, 'Sunjay is a third-class man… Everyone knows our credentials. We are Kapoors. We don't need to run after anyone's money. We have been blessed with not only money, but our talent can support us for the rest of our lives." Randhir further added that he had opposed the match from the beginning, stating, 'I never wanted Karisma marrying him. He never cared for his wife. He has been giving bull**** to her and living with another woman. The entire Delhi knows how he is. I would not like to say anything more than this." At the time of his death on June 12, 2025, Sunjay Kapur's estimated net worth stood at $1.2 billion (approximately Rs 10,300 crore), according to Forbes. He became one of the World's Billionaires in 2022. His company, Sona Comstar, headquartered in Gurugram, has 12 manufacturing units and employs over 5,000 people across India, China, Mexico, Serbia, and the US. The company saw significant growth driven by the global electric vehicle (EV) boom. Sunjay assumed control of the company after the death of his father, Dr Surinder Kapur, in 2015. Following years of turmoil, Karisma and Sunjay eventually reached a divorce settlement in 2016. As per DNA, Sunjay paid Karisma Rs 70 crore in alimony. A report by ANI stated that he also invested Rs 14 crore in bonds for their two children, which yield Rs 10 lakh annually in interest. Additionally, he transferred ownership of a house previously owned by his father to Karisma. First Published:
