The super-success of both the films Gadar - Ek Prem Katha and Lagaan has brought cheers to the drought-hit film industry. Both the films have been critically and commercially well-received. Gadar – Ek Prem Katha is ahead of Lagaan in North and Central India while Lagaan is ahead in Mumbai, South and overseas

Gadar – Ek Prem Katha is doing fabulous business all over India. Sunny Deol is back with a bang after a very long period. The film has done approx Rs 4 crore of business in India in its first week. At many places the film did 100% collections. Advance booking for the second week is also very strong.  The film is rewriting history in Punjab, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and the business is likely to overtake that of HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN. 1st Week Bombay (95%) - 79,14,000, Ahmedabad - 23,68,450, Vapi - 6,12,064, Kalol- 2,27,500 (95%), Jamnagar - 2,30,925, Mahuva - 1,73,378, Pune - 17,42,761 (99%), Kolhapur- 2,75,138 (100%), Sholapur- 3,13,404 (100%), Shrirampur - 1,18,711 (100%), Nasik - 6,41,480 (100%), Hubli - 2,98,987, Bijapur - 2,43,800, Delhi - 96,26,959 (96%), Kanpur - 9,39,802, Lucknow - 5,01,658 (100%), Agra - 5,59,140, Bareilly - 2,00,851 (6 dy.)

Lagaan has been appreciated, particularly it is excellent in Bombay and South India. The victory of the film shattered the myth that only modern-day romantic films are lapped up by the audience. The triumph of the the film was a slap on the faces of those who felt that period films wouldn't work in the current scenario. The success of the film is lesson for the Industry, which believes in mix formula to attain success. 1st week Bombay (99%) - 72,81,000, Ahmedabad - 27,58,700, Baroda - 3,32,516, Chanod - 2,45,322 (100%), Rajkot - 3,33,930, Jamnagar - 1,40,656, Pune - 19,46,668, Sholapur- 2,54,227 (90%), Bijapur - 1,47,598 (90%), Delhi - 90,83,871 (88%), Kanpur - 5,55,091, Lucknow - 4,07,912 (100%), Agra - 4,52,000, Bareilly - 84,000 (6 dy.)

  What an interesting year! So many things happened that had never happened before! . For instance for the first time in the sixty years of it's existence, the film industry in Maharashtra closed all its cinemas from September 1 for a period of nine days to protest against a further steep rise in the Entertainment tax. A momentous decision, a drastic step, one which took a lot of guts on the parts of all film industry sectors concerned to take.

Among the most outstanding success of the year were "Ram Aur Shyam", "Upkar", "Milan", "Farz", "Meherban", "Shagird" and "Jewel Thief". The f...
