Dharmender and Amitabh Bachchan's Sholay is the biggest ever hit in Indian Cinema History. But do you know the movie really did well in Andhra Pradesh too. Here is the paper ad of 25 weeks successful run of the movie in AP.
The film completed Indian Cinema run successfully in two theaters in Hyderabad according to the advertisement. Which means a Hindi movie ran for 175 days in two centers of Hyderabad. There are handful of other theaters too where the movie did exceptionally well. Real Rare Gold. Isn't it?
The movie was recently converted to 3D and was released across the country. The new Sholay is 198 minutes long. 100s of Technicians had worked on 2,85,120 frames individually to make this 3D version happen. It managed to collect 10 Crores approximately but not sufficient to recover its conversion costs.
