The Bollywood industry is ruled by the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Sunny Deol, even today. Shah Rukh Khan, after 2023, is busy with his upcoming films. Similarly, Sunny Deol is also the center of attention. Salman Khan is trying to make a comeback too. These three actors have a massive fan following, and whatever they do becomes a hit instantly. However, 29 years ago, even their hit movies failed to make a mark, as a 22-year-old actress dominated the box office. The actress shares a good relationship with all three stars, but 29 years ago, she left them behind.
This is about Karisma Kapoor, who has worked with Salman Khan in many films. Sunny Deol also created a sensation in 1996 when his two big movies were released. Despite ‘Ghatak’ and ‘Jeet’ being superhits, he lost. What was the movie that allowed Karisma Kapoor to beat them all?
In 1996, many big films were released, and they did a huge business at the box office. According to Box Office India, ‘Jeet’ and ‘Ghatak’ were the third-biggest films of that year. While Salman Khan’s ‘Khamoshi’ and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Chahat’ performed below average, Sunny Deol’s ‘Himmat’ and ‘Ajay’ also came out that year, but all these films were overshadowed by Karisma Kapoor’s ‘Raja Hindustani’.
When ‘Raja Hindustani’ was released in 1996, Karisma Kapoor was 22 years old. She starred alongside Aamir Khan in the film. The film received a very strong response. It’s a cult film that still gets the same love today. It was the highest-grossing film that year. All of the songs were hits. The film did business of 76 crores worldwide. ‘Raja Hindustani’ is considered one of the top films in Karisma Kapoor’s career. There are many stories related to the film.
Let’s look at the debut movies of these actors. Sunny Deol started his career with the movie ‘Betaab’ in 1983. Shah Rukh Khan’s first movie was ‘Deewana’ that was released in 1992. When it comes to Salman Khan, he was first seen in ‘Biwi Ho To Aisi’, which was released in 1988. Finally, Karisma Kapoor’s debut film was released in 1991, named ‘Qaidi’.
