Arre bhaiyon aur behnon, the Bollywood dhamaka that refuses to fade away! Even after 49 long saal, Sholay is still ruling the Bollywood box office like a boss. Can you even imagine? While movies come and go, Sholay is sitting on the throne, chilling like Gabbar, with no intention of moving. And guess what, Baahubali 2 is the only new kid on the block to make it to the top 5. Kya baat hai! Let’s dive into this epic tale!
Sholay’s 49-Year Box Office Magic
Everyone—yes, even the naya generation—knows the epic trio: Jai, Veeru, and Basanti. Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay is not just a film, it’s an emotion, yaar! With legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Hema Malini lighting up the screen, Sholay was the king of the box office until Hum Aapke Hai Koun..! danced its way into our hearts in 1994. And wait for it, with an all-time high of 12.5 crore footfalls, Sholay ka jaadu is still intact!
The Top 5 Footfall Champions in India
Now here’s a twist no one saw coming: Pre-1975 films are still rocking the top 5 list! And out of all the very recent blockbusters, only Baahubali 2: The Conclusion managed to sneak in. Bollywood me sab kuch possible hai, dost! Check out the magic numbers:
- Sholay: 12.5 crore footfalls
- Baahubali 2: The Conclusion: 11.23 crore footfalls
- Mughal-E-Azam: 11 crore footfalls
- Mother India: 10 crore footfalls
- Hum Aapke Hai Koun..!: 7.79 crore footfalls
Can Baahubali 2 Outshine Sholay?
Bhai, Baahubali 2 still has a 1.27 crore footfall mountain to climb if it wants to dethrone Sholay! Even if our darling Prabhas decides to make a grand re-entry into theatres, the gap is as wide as Gabbar’s grin. Sholay seems to be ruling for ages to come. Kitne saal, bhai? Time hi batayega!
Kiran’s Gyan
Bollywood mein koi bhi cheez pakki nahi hoti, except Sholay’s legendary status! 😄 Itna footfall toh aaj kal ke stars ko sapne mein bhi nahi milta. So, tip of the day: If you want your movie to be a legend, start taking notes from Sholay, bas!Tags: #Bollywood #Sholay #BoxOfficeKing #Baahubali2 #FootfallChampions
