Last updated: August 22, 2025, 14:24 IST 3 iconic Bollywood story: Many films were made in Bollywood, the initial idea of which was only 4 rules. The interesting fact is that most such films were successful. Today we will tell about three such films. One of these films was made of a newspaper headline. A film is made of a row of a poem by a poet. All three films earn a large amount at the box office. Bollywood received superstars such as Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan. What are these three films? Recently, the film ‘Sholay’ has completed 50 years. Directed by Ramesh Sippy, the film came to screen in 1975. Salim-Javed gave the idea of the film to Ramesh Sippy in just four rules. Later, a story was made by developing this idea. The screenplay is written. Then this cult film was prepared. Ramesh Sippy revealed it in one of his interviews. He said: ‘The story was made by developing 4 line ideas. At the time, I had to ‘do the film’ forced ‘, but I left him at the request of my Father. What happened is correct. Ramesh Sippy said: ‘Hema Malini did not want to make her role. She did ‘Sita and Geeta’ with me. When he is told in detail, he agrees. After the dialogue, the color of the role became different. Gabbar was Danny, but he couldn’t give dates. Amitabh loved Gabbar’s role. Amitabh’s career has begun. Flops gave films, but we accepted the role we gave him. Dharmendra said Gabbar overshadowed everyone. He also loved this role. Ramesh Sippy also told the story that Amjad Khan got the role of Gabbar Singh in the interview. He said: ‘My sister played the lead in a play. Amjad Khan was also in it. Play went over South Africa. I first saw him there. When he came to the office, there seemed to be another face. It’s a strange look. After two to four days, she dressed, took the photo. It was considered to take Shatrughan Sinha in place of Amitabh first. He was an upcoming star. Jaya Bhaduri was also a star. Then I felt it would be difficult to shoot the film with all these stars. The funny thing is that when the Sholay film was released, he couldn’t pull the audience there for a week. At a time, it looked like the film would flop, but after 7 days the emotion suddenly changed. This film is nowadays considered a classic film of India. The film was made in a budget of 3 crores. Earned 35 crores in India, while the collection was global film 50 crores. The film lasted five consecutive years in a theater in Mumbai. Cine lovers are familiar with each character of this film. The dialogues of the film got on the tongue of the people. The world record of selling this film is also the name of this film within a year. The second film is Amar Akbar Anthony. It is also a coincidence that when Sholay film came in 1975, it is a matter of those days that director Manmohan Desai read newspapers in the morning. Manmohan saw a news in the newspaper writing that a man ran away and left his 3 sons in the park. All three children are small. He told this news to his friend and writer Prayag Raj. Did your friend say that if these three children take different men, what would happen to a Hindu, a Muslim and a Christian? Just start making a movie from here. Manmohan directed and produced this film. The story of the film was written together by Prayag Raj, Kader Khan and KK Shukla. Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor’s Tigdi acted brilliantly. The film was released on May 27, 1977. Amitabh Bachchan received the first filmfare award from his career for this film. It also became the highest film of that year. The third film is: Ram Teri Ganga Maili. Raj Kapoor comes from a hymn to make this film. Raj Kapoor went to his Pune form with composer Ravindra Jain. Ravindra Jain said in an interview: ‘Only the party was held on the first day. Then Raj Saheb said I had a small idea, I don’t understand how to increase it. Totapuri Maharaj stretched Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Maharaj that Ram Teri Ganga Maili. This is mentioned in this way in the opening song of the film. ‘Totapuri Taunted Ramakrishna … Ram Teri Ganga Maili.’ Raj Saheb said I would like to make a story on the basis of this matter. I used to make a film that “the country in which Ganga flows”. Now how can I say that ‘Ram Teri Ganga got dirty’. At the same time, Ravindra Jain completed the story by making Mukhra. “A sadness said crying, Ram, your Ganges got dirty and washed the sins of sinners. “From here, the story was born in Raj Saheb’s mind. In the film there was a fierce dispute over Mandakini’s waterfall scenes. This film is considered a Calt film today. First published: August 20, 2025, 22:20 IST
