Bollywood has given us many great movies from its early days till now. The 60s are considered to be the best era of Bollywood. Many great movies were released during this time, including Sholay, Dosti and many others, which left a different impression on the audience. However, this one film, which was made under a budget of Rs 14 lakh, broke many records at the box office because of its captivating storytelling and power-packed performances. The Cult Classic Of All Time
Here we are talking about the 1957 film Dosti, which was helmed by the renowned director Late B.R. Chopra. The story of the film was based on the damage caused to villages by urbanization. Along with this, friendship, love and love triangle were also beautifully combined in the film. The friendship between Shankar and Krishna, as seen in the film, became very popular. Late Dilip Kumar played the role of Shankar and Late Ajit Khan played the role of Krishna.
The story of 'Naya Daur' also focused on Shankar, the horse carriage driver and his farmer friend Krishna. Krishna and Shankar are best friends; their friendship is cited as an example in the entire village. But the arrival of Vyjayanthimala's character Rajni creates a rift in their friendship. Krishna and Shankar love Rajni, but Rajni loves Shankar. Shankar turns his friend into an enemy because of Rajni. Krishna joins hands with Kundan (Jeevan), who brings a carriage to the village. There is a race between the carriage and the carriage, by then Krishna realizes his mistake and helps Shankar. Shankar wins the race and the two become good friends again. More About Naya Daur
The makers had a budget of Rs 14 lakh to make this film, which grossed a collection of Rs 5 crore 40 lakh. According to Box Office India's report, in this year, 'Mother India' had the highest collection (Rs 8 crore). By many sources, it remains as one of top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time when adjusted for ticket-price inflation. It became the highest-grossing sports film ever at time of its release and remains one of the highest ticket-selling sports film, despite its release only being in India.
For this movie, Dilip Kumar received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for the third consecutive time, marking his fourth win overall. The film was later dubbed into Tamil as Pattaliyin Sabatham in 1958. Naya Daur also influenced superstar Aamir Khan's film Lagaan, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001.

Kapil Sharma teases Navjot Singh Sidhu for his high fees, hints the 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' budget has been increased
Agencies How much does Navjot Singh Sidhu earning from TGIKS? Kapil Sharma has made a much-awaited return with a fresh season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, launching on Netflix. The debut episode featured none other than Bollywood icon Salman Khan, whose presence added star power to an already lively setting. As expected, Kapil's signature wit lit up the stage as he playfully engaged with his co-stars and guests, especially taking a humorous swipe at Archana Puran Singh's online content. One of the most talked-about highlights of the episode was the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who rejoined the show after a long gap. The show began with Kapil's trademark comic timing, and he didn't waste any time poking fun at Sidhu's return. In his typical playful style, he mentioned how fortunate they were to have a budget that could 'afford' Sidhu, alluding to the increased production values on the platform. 'I want to thank Netflix for giving us that much budget that we could afford Sidhu paaji," he quipped. Kapil warmly welcomed Sidhu back to his iconic chair, hinting at the political undercurrents behind his reappearance by joking that it was a coalition of sorts that made this comeback possible. The camaraderie between the two Amritsari entertainers was on full display as Sidhu responded in his poetic fashion, emphasizing the unbreakable bond they share, subtly taking a dig at Archana Puran Singh, who had taken over his seat during his explained the reason behind the six-month delay in launching the new season, attributing it jokingly to the long process of convincing Sidhu. He later clarified that his own film commitments had also played a role in the postponement. While the spotlight was on Kapil's upcoming films, Archana Puran Singh shared that she, too, had been busy—managing her vlogs. This led Kapil to make another playful jab, claiming that her vlogs were just a clever excuse to let her family dine out for free. In a classic Kapil punchline, he quipped that her food videos were more fraud than vlog, triggering laughs from the audience.

This translated to an average payout of approximately Rs 20 lakh per episode during that period. However, with his recent return to the show on a digital platform, industry sources suggest that his remuneration has seen a significant upswing. Since the new season on Netflix airs only one episode per week, Sidhu is reportedly commanding a far higher fee than before. Current estimates place his per-episode salary in the range of Rs 30 to Rs 40 lakh, signaling a dramatic increase from his previous earnings. This surge in his compensation reflects both the exclusivity of the OTT format and Sidhu's continued popularity among audiences.

Meet actor who once sold products door to door, one film changed his life, became a star, was called ‘next Shah Rukh Khan', built Rs 1200 core business, he is…
He may have entered Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma's Company (2002), but Vivek Oberoi's biggest role has unfolded far beyond the silver screen. While many remember him for films like Saathiya and Masti, few know that this actor-turned-entrepreneur built a business empire worth Rs 1200 crore, largely without help, not even from his superstar father, Suresh Oberoi. Despite being born into a film family, Vivek's journey was anything but privileged. In a recent podcast interview, the actor peeled back the layers of his public persona to reveal a sharply honed business mind, one that took root when he was just 10. At an age when most kids were lost in video games, Vivek was busy selling door-to-door and pitching marketing strategies to his father. 'Dad would bring home a product and ask me to make a business plan. Then he'd quiz me — 'How will you sell this?' That's how I learned,' Vivek shared. But there was no silver spoon. In his own words, 'He told me, 'I'm rich. You're not. You'll become rich — but on your own.' The words stuck. By the age of 19, Vivek had already earned $3 million for his first company. He sold it four years later at 23. Today, he claims to have taken nine companies public in the Indian stock market and is preparing to launch four more. On the professional front, Vivek hasn't delivered many hits lately. His last prominent appearance was in PM Narendra Modi (2019), where he played the lead role. In 2024, he appeared in the historical action film Kesari Veer alongside Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, though the project didn't make major waves. For now, his film calendar appears empty. But even without a blockbuster, Vivek Oberoi is far from irrelevant. His sharp pivot from screen to stocks has redefined his legacy, one built not on box office numbers but on boardroom deals.
