Join UsIf we consider the Bollywood growth decade wise then 80s was an era that provided little to no growth to the industry. A lot of excellent films released between a period of 1980 and 1989 but most of them were not up to the mark or were not of the kind needed to create new benchmarks.
Lack of proper cinemas and infrastructure was also responsible for resisting the audience from coming to theaters and watching movies. That’s the reason that even big films Kranti, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Mard, Coolie, Tridev and many more couldn’t cross the record of Sholay which was set in 1975.
It was only in 1989 i.e towards the end of the decade that Salman Khan & Bhagyashree’s romantic film Maine Pyar Kiya’s box office collection being 14 crores which was just 1.5 crore less than Sholay.
