The year 1984 proved to be very special for Jitendra's career. This year Jitendra came up with a film that took over the box office. This film proved to be the 5th highest grossing film of that year. This film proved to be a milestone for Jitendra's career. But this film became a cause of crisis for many stars of that era.
That film was the blockbuster 'Tohfa', which hit the theatres in 1984. Through this film, Jitendra alone overshadowed Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Rajesh Khanna. The stardom of all these stars was also lost. One song of the film made people crazy.
Jitendra is one of the most successful actors of the Hindi film industry. Jitendra not only has millions of fans but he also set a new trend of acting with his charming style. A newcomer like Jitendra challenged the stardom of the veteran superstars of the Hindi film industry.
The story of the film was about two sisters who fall in love with the same boy. Along with Jeetendra's film, Amitabh's Sharabi was also released that year. People liked this film a lot but in terms of earnings, it could not stand in front of Tohfa at all.
In the same year 1984, Dharmendra's Rajtilak and Rajesh Khanna-Dharmendra starrer Dharam Aur Kanoon also hit the theatres. But both these films could not compete with Jeetendra's film Tohfa at the box office. 'Tohfa' was made by D Ramanaidu. In the film, Jitendra won the hearts of the people with the roles of Ram, Jayaprada with the roles of Janaki and Sridevi with the roles of Lalita. Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor were also seen in important roles in the film.
Shakti Kapoor also played a very interesting role in this film. People have not forgotten Shakti Kapoor's dialogue about Lalita in the film even today. 'Aaaaoo Lolita' this dialogue became his identity. Let us tell you that many reports have claimed that Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Sridevi's film 'Tohfa' had made a fabulous collection of 9 crores that year. According to today's time, this amount would be more than 150 crores.
