Why Your Alltime Blockbusters list does not include films like Krissh, Rab Ne Bana di Jodi, Ghajini and Dabanggwhich are amoung Biggest grossers of all time? (according to many sources of current electronic media)
Above mentioned films are not yet included in this list of Alltime Blockbusters because apart from earnings there are various factors which should be considered in naming any film ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER of the great Indian Bollywood Cinema. Movie should have Long lasting IMPACT on masses and mindsets of people. Just a simple question may answer this..Can you think of any of your friends, colleagues or relatives who have not seen the movies SHOLAY and DDLJ? Hard to find..right? still many people (Middle aged and elder generation) have not seen 'Dabangg' movie yet and it has not become topic of serious discussions amoung all generations... Sholey and DDLJ released in single screen days and no Multiplex boom was there, rates of tickets were one fifth of today's rates(This is the reason why even after running housefull for many months their total grossed amount is lesser than today's collections), still some of those those movies had big Impact and became hugely popular hence qualify for our All time Blockbusters list....
