HISTORY OF BOLLYWOOD

NOT MANY KNOW THAT BOLYYWOOD FIRST ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER WAS KISMAT MADE IN 1942 WITH GYAN MUKHERJEEDIRECTING ASHOK KUMAR PLAYED
A CON MAN.HE WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE POLICE AND THAT TREND WAS REVIVED IN AMITTABH BACHCHAN'S FILM AGAIN IN THE 70'S AND 80'S.

TERM 'ALL TIME BLOCK BUSTER'USED FOR MOVIE WHOSE BUSINESS IS CUT ABOVE THE REST BY HUGE MARGIN. AFTER 18 YEAR BOLLYWOOD FOUND ITS
SECOND ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER 'MUGHLE-E-AZAM' FOLLOWED BY BOBBY ,SHOLY,JAI,SANTOSHO MAA,MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR,AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY ,KRANTI,coolie
maine pyar kiya ,ankhen,hum apke hain kaun,dil waledulhaniya le jayenge,raja hindustani,gadar,ghajni,andthree idiots,sholy is biggest hit
of india cinema till date.its business is 3 time more than any other biggest hit.apart from business.sholav is longest live movie in memories of
cinelover ,even today with just a bit of backgrond music one can direct whose two movie got all time blockbusters except rajesh khanna
who was probably ,ghajni is most controversial all time blockbuster ,ghajni got this tag from trade expert due to record breaking business at the time of
release,but if someone look at budget and cost involved ,ghajni was barely hit.from current business scenario even trade expert are always
confused for giving verdicts any movie . by changing model of verdicts they know the kind of injustice they are doing toward old movies whose verdicts were
based on very stict models.if we consider ghajni as all time blockbuster then every other movies of 70's 80's was super blockbuster then
we have to find the new term for all time bolckbuster of that era.famous trade expert komal natha knows this fact and hence strict to
his model since ages,otherwise a lot work has to be done for old movies as well.
