Whenever a new face appears in Bollywood, there is a lot of curiosity about his/her first film. Recently, Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda have made their debut with Mohit Suri's film Saiyaara. In just four days of its release, this film has earned more than Rs 100 crore and is making new records every day. Looking at the earnings of the film, it is being said that it can become the most successful film made with a new starcast. However, this record will be only in terms of gross collection. If we compare in terms of inflation and number of viewers, then even today a 50-year-old film is at the forefront.
Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia made their debut with Raj Kapoor's 1973 film Bobby. The film was the biggest hit of that year and its earnings in India were Rs 11 crore. According to a report, it was watched by 5.35 crore people in the country. According to today's inflation rate, its earnings are considered to be around 1000 crores. Bobby was also a great success in the Soviet Union, where 6.26 crore tickets were sold. Its total earnings in the international market are considered to be between 600 and 800 crores rupees according to today's rates.
Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, which was released in 2000, got a little more than 3 crore viewers in India and at the current rate, its earnings are around 600 crores. On the other hand, Saiyaara has got more than 50 lakh viewers so far. It is expected that this figure can cross 2 crores.
