And now talking about how it made history! If you've read the actor's caption, it ran for 25 weeks in 25 theaters in Mumbai alone, which is something none of the recent blockbusters have been able to achieve. We don't even remember which was the last Silver Jubilee film in Hindi Cinema. Desai was truly the master of masala entertainment.

And as far as Bachchan is concerned, his collaborations with the filmmaker were truly iconic and unforgettable. Apart from Amar Akbar Anthony, they also gave giant hits like Coolie, Naseeb, Mard, and Shaan. We don't make such makers anymore.
