This actor beat Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna in 1984 with one movie, his name was...
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.

When Rajkummar Rao had just Rs 18 in Mumbai! "My mother supported me a lot," revealed the actor
Rajkummar Rao , one of Bollywood's most acclaimed actors today, once opened up about the intense financial struggles he faced during the early days of his acting journey. During an old podcast, the actor offered an emotional throwback to a time when he had only Rs 18 in his bank account, unsure where his next meal would come from. Surviving Mumbai on biscuits and juice Rajkummar, during his conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia, recalled how, in the absence of steady work, he often skipped lunch and sustained himself with just a packet of Parle G biscuits and a Frooti, a meal that cost only ₹4 back then. "My mother supported me a lot. Whenever I ran out of money, she would somehow arrange it and send it to me," he shared. The actor lived in a flat with two others, keeping expenses minimal while chasing a dream that often seemed out of reach. Turning to Friends for Dinner Reflecting on his lowest moment, when he was left with just ₹18, Rajkummar remembered calling friends from his FTII network in Mumbai, asking if he could join them for dinner. 'A lot of seniors and juniors live here. So, you can ring anybody and ask what they're having for dinner and if you can come,' he said, highlighting the unspoken bond of support among struggling artists. Cycling 70 Km a Day with Dreams in His Pocket The actor also reminisced about his early training days at Shri Ram Centre in Delhi, where he began studying acting at age 18. Unaware of how to get a subsidized student bus pass, Rajkummar cycled 70 km daily to attend classes. To stay motivated, he would listen to inspirational songs like Lakshya Ko Har Haal Mein Pana Hai and Papa Kehte Hain on his walkman. 'It sounds filmy now,' he said, 'but it used to be a lot of fun.' First Salary at Age 13 In another candid moment, Rajkummar recalled how he earned ₹300 tutoring a young girl when he was in the 8th standard, his first salary, which he used to buy groceries for his family. Today, those small sacrifices form the foundation of a remarkable journey from hardship to stardom. On the work front, Rajkummar was last seen in the recently released film 'Bhool Chuk Maaf'.

'The Accountant 2' is releasing on an OTT platform this week; Check out the details
'The Accountant 2' starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal will soon see the light of the smaller screens, as the film will be releasing on OTT this week. The sequel will continue to 'find the accountant' as Christian Wolff tries to find out who murdered his former associate. When and where is 'The Accountant 2' releasing? Amazon Prime Video recently announced that the sequel would be streaming on their OTT platform from June 5. 'Christian Wolff has a talent for solving complex problems. When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to 'find the accountant,' Wolff is compelled to solve the case,' according to the official logline provided by the Amazon MGM Studios. What will happen in 'The Accountant 2"? Only this time, when Wolff is trying to solve the case, he recruits his highly lethal brother, Braxton Wolff (Jon). The brothers partner up with the U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), and while they try to uncover the conspiracy theory, they become the target of the murderers who won't stop to keep their secrets buried. Along with the aforementioned cast, other stars of Gavin O'Connor's film include J. K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda , Allison Robertson, Andrew Howard, Robert Morgan, Grant Harvey , and many more. How are the characters different.... At a global press conference of 'Accountant 2' attended by ETimes, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal discussed about how their roles are different from previous blockbuster franchises like 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and 'The Punisher,' respectively. Ben stated, 'To me, what makes the action in 'The Accountant 2' so unique is that it's always rooted in character motivation. It's not about creating a shot that looks cool or building a sequence for visual flair. Everything is driven by what these characters want and why they are fighting in the first place.' Jon Bernthal continued, 'You can't lie in a fight - you just can't. What you want is right there, so if you are going for it, you have got to know why. Gavin has a hunger to really dive into what makes these characters tick. For Brax, the emotional baggage from their childhood and their father's influence is always there. The violence isn't just for show - it's way to express love and loyalty.' Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
