New Delhi:
Many star actors were seen in this 32 -year -old film based on rivalry between two Rajput families in Rajasthan. This film with royal theme, acting and powerful dialogue could have been a successful film. However, the film failed at the box office. We are talking about the Kshatriya released in 1993, directed and co-written J.P. Dutta did it. It had big stars like Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra, Sanjay Dutt and Sunny Deol. At the same time, Rakhi, Meenakshi Seshadri, Divya Bharti, Sumalata and Raveena Tandon were also in important roles.
The film gained popularity among the audience and its songs were also well liked. Hello Hello, I went to Khichi, Dil Na Kisi Jaye, Chham Chham Barso Pani and Tune Kiya Vaada became a favorite of the audience. The audience liked the film and it was also highly appreciated by the critic.
Kshatriya struggled at the box office and could barely recover his budget. According to reports, the main reason for the failure of the film was Sanjay Dutt’s legal problems at that time, which affected its release and affected its performance. Kshatriya came to theaters on March 26, 1993, but could not do anything special.
The Kshatriya was made in a budget of Rs 5 crore. It started well, it earned Rs 45 lakh on the first day and about Rs 2.8 crore in the first week. However, just three weeks after the release, the film’s screening was stopped due to Sanjay Dutt’s involvement in the 1993 Bombay bomb blast case. Despite his great start, the screening of the film was banned due to his arrest, which affected the box office.
