"If Gadar and Lagaan can do well on the same day, two films can easily co-exist on the same day,” is a statement we often hear from the film industry people when two films release together. But not every films are ‘Lagaan’ and ‘Gadar.’ Not every successes are like ‘Lagaan’ and ‘Gadar.’ Can you imagine any film with any remote chances to survive before ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion?
Ashutosh Gowariker and Anil Sharma’s films, which complete two glorious decades today, are quite in common. They both are historical sagas, they both narrate the tales of people challenged by circumstances, they both fight for what rightly belongs to them, and take on major oppositions with courage. Their decisions at first face outright rejections, and we feel a sense of defeat for them. But Hindi Cinema being aspirational and audacious, allows both Bhuvan (Aamir Khan) and Tara Singh (Sunny Deol) to embark on this hurdle alone.
