BOLLYWOOD
This Sunny Deol film earned four times more than its budget, and it was remade in three different languages.
Sunny Deol has given some of the biggest hits of the 90s. Gadar star's actioner blockbusters have set examples, and his action sequences and dialogues are still being referred to or even copied in a few movies (read Bol Bachchan, Besharam, Animal). Today we will discuss one of his films which was partly inspired by a Hollywood classic.
In this film, Sunny plays an overlord who fights with powerful people to protect the suppressed, and in his war, he loses his own people. This movie was released in the year when he delivered not one, but two blockbusters. Sunny Deol gave two action bonanza at the big box office, and it strengthened his position as action king.
