Jitendra is one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, with millions of fans and a charming style that started a new trend in acting. Today, we're going to tell you about the time when newcomer Jitendra challenged the stardom of Bollywood's biggest stars, including Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rajesh Khanna.
In 1984, Jitendra's film "Tohfa" was released, which became a massive hit at the box office, leaving everyone surprised. This film surpassed the earnings of films starring Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rajesh Khanna, making it the highest-grossing film of that year. Directed by Kovelamudi Raghavendra Rao, "Tohfa" starred Jitendra, Sridevi, and Jaya Prada, and their performances were widely appreciated by audiences. The film's storyline revolved around two sisters who fall in love with the same man.
"Tohfa" earned 9 crores at the box office in 1984, which is equivalent to over 150 crores today. The same year, Amitabh Bachchan's "Sharaabi" was also released, which was a hit but couldn't match the earnings of "Tohfa". Additionally, Dharmendra's "Raj Tilak" and Rajesh Khanna-Dharmendra starrer "Dharam Aur Kanoon" were also released but failed to compete with "Tohfa" at the box office. This clearly shows that Jitendra's single film had shaken the stardom of three big stars.
