Ajay Devgan and Madhu made their debut in the year 1991. Both of them appeared together on the big screen for the first time in the film 'Phool Aur Kaante'. During this time, the film of the superstars of that era Anil Kapoor and Sridevi was also released. There was a tough competition between the two at the box office, but the film of the newcomers completely overshadowed the hit superstar pair. Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's film 'Lamhe', directed by the great Yash Chopra, flopped badly and newcomers Ajay Devgan and Madhu created a stir with their debut film itself. Achieving great success, the film of both proved to be a superhit.
What was the income figure?
Released on 22 November 1991, the musical romantic drama 'Lamhe 7' was made on a budget of Rs 7 crore and could only earn Rs 6 crore in India. The film failed to even recover its cost. On the other hand, the action romantic film 'Phool Aur Kaante' had a budget of Rs 2.50 crore and earned Rs 7 crore all over India. However, the Yash Chopra directed film 'Lamhe' won five awards for the best film, Sridevi for best actress, Anupam Kher for best comedian, Honey Irani for best story and Rahi Masoom Raza for best dialogue. Ajay Devgan won the Best Male Newcomer Actor award at the 1992 Filmfare Awards.
Anil Kapoor had advised to postpone the release of the film
Earlier this year, in an interview, Ajay's close friend director Rohit Shetty had revealed that Anil Kapoor had advised Ajay Devgn's father Veeru Devgan not to release his son's debut film with his film. Rohit had said, "Lamhe and Phool Aur Kaante released on the same day. At that time, box office clashes were not a big deal. In fact, Anil sir had worked a lot with Veeru ji and he had advised him not to go against Lamhe. He said Ajay is like his younger brother, but then Kuku ji said okay, we will go ahead with the scheduled release. Lamhe will run and our film will also run." However, the audience appreciated the newcomer and rejected superstar Anil Kapoor's film.
Ajay Devgan will create a ruckus with this film
Let us tell you, Ajay Devgan will soon be seen in 'Singham Again'. His partnership with Rohit Shetty has been successful in the past as well and this time fans are eagerly waiting for Ajay's film. This film is a multi-starrer film. Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will be seen in it along with Ajay Devgan.
