  1. Excellent superb. I love reading these segments. Please create a separate section on this website for segments like this, it truly deserve it.

    Just wondering, Kranti, Laawaris, Ek Duje Ke Liye, Naseeb, Meri Awaaz Suno, and Love Story were the biggest Hits of 1981 (no doubt 1981 was a great year). But what was the biggest hit of 1981? I personally think it was Ek Duje Ke Liye as it was very low budget and had a huge ROI?

  2. KRANTI was a good movie …even though i thought it was a bit long and a bit overstretched when i watched it……YAKUZA can u tell me how much does a south indian film earn in comparison to a bollywood film on an average…can u also tell me which is the highest grossing south indian film …cause i have read a few articles which show unbelievable collections for certain south indian films…i dnt really know if u hve info regarding south india b.o collections ….but if u hve it plz share ur thoughts …>
