News Topical, Digital Desk : Big-budget films are a big hit in Bollywood. Audiences get excited, hoping this film will be a hit on the big screen. But if we were to tell you that this trend isn't new, but has been going on since the 70s and 80s. Big films often come with big budgets and big stars, but how can they always be a hit? Amitabh Bachchan's film is one such film, which was lavishly funded, but it flopped. However, the film's songs were certainly hits. Let us tell you which film it is...

That film was adorned with 7 superstars.
The name of this film, which came in 1980, was Shaan. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, many big stars were in this film. Along with Amitabh Bachchan, superstars of that decade Sunil Dutt, Shatrughan Sinha, Shashi Kapoor, Parveen Bobby, Rakhi Gulzar, Bindiya Goswami, Johnny Walker and Kul Bhushan Kharbanda were in the film. Kulbhushan Kharbanda played the character of Shakaal in the film. Yes, yes, the same character of Shakaal, seeing which nowadays brings a smile on the faces of people on the internet or you can say that those pictures are used in memes.

This film was directed by Ramesh Sippy. After Sholay, it was his first film starring Amitabh Bachchan, and there were hopes that the film would create a sensation at the box office and perhaps recreate the magic of Sholay. However, the film's release proved the point.

The film, made with a budget of 6 crores, was
widely discussed when it was announced, claiming a major blockbuster was on the way. Reports suggested the budget of Shaan was around 6 crores. Surprisingly, Sholay was made with half that budget. With a budget twice as large as Sholay, this film was widely discussed, claiming it was the biggest and most expensive film of its time. For three years, Shaan held the title of Bollywood's most expensive film.

When the film was released, the makers believed it would be a hit. Although the film opened well, poor reviews spoiled the fun, directly impacting the film's collections, ultimately leading to a flop.

The villain became more popular than the hero.
In this big-star film, the villain was more talked about than the hero. Yes, it was Kulbhushan Kharbanda who played the role of Shakaal. His role was widely discussed, and audiences loved it. It wasn't the film's big stars' names that were on everyone's lips, but Shakaal's. By playing this role, Kulbhushan Kharbanda once again joined the list of popular villains.

The film's songs became blockbusters.
Even though the film was labeled a flop, it became a cult classic. The film's songs were definitely hits. The audience loved all the songs of the film. There were a total of 6 songs in the film and all of them were on the lips of the audience. These include Jaanu Meri Jaan, Yamma Yamma, Pyar Karne Wale, Naam Abdul Hai Mera and Doston Se Pyar Kiya. People still hum these songs and whenever they are played, people's feet automatically start dancing.

After the film flopped, the makers re-released it a few years later, but this time, the tables turned and the makers made a fortune. The film grossed ₹8 crore, which was a profitable success for the makers. The film also aired several times on TV, and audiences loved it.
