This was a year of upsets. The films that were expected to do
wonderfully didn't, and some of those that made it to the grade of 'overflow' or
nearabouts are competing with the likes of Ghulam and Bade Miyan Chote
Miyan...Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,, is the super-duper hit of the year.And despite the hype
about movies like Satya it just figures as an average hit (thought it is a
superhit in the Bombay and Central Provinces theatrical circuits), far beneath such
dubious films as Maut and the dubbed Miyan Bivi aur Woh. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
was the undoubted hit of the year, being classified a super-duper hit. Trailing by a long
distance were films like Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya and Soldier.
And in the semi-hit category is the aforementioned Bandhan and Dulhe Raja.
All in all, the mushy films scored over the others.
Among the big failures were Duplicate,
Jeans, China-Gate, Jhoot Bole Kauva Kaate, Banarasi Babu, Zor, Saat Rang Ke Sapne, Kareeb,
Dil Se, Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, Kudrat, Zakhm and Wajood. Among the stars,
Salman Khan was declared the most successful by industry pundits, followed by Kajol, Rani
Mukherjee, Bobby Deol and Ajay Devgan. Don't forget to check out the details tomorrow!
