News India Live, Digital Desk: Let us take you back in time a little. It is about the year 2002. This was the era when the trend of multiplexes was new and the tinkling of coins was echoing in single screen theatres. Something happened at the box office that year that surprised everyone. On one hand, there was the magic of Shahrukh Khan, while on the other hand, a small horror film had left even the big names in shock.
That year, many big stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Amitabh Bachchan were in the fray, but someone else won. Come, let us remember those 10 biggest films of 2002, which ruled the box office.
When ‘Devdas’ made everyone cry and also earned money
It is not possible that the year 2002 is mentioned and there is no mention of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas’. It was not just a film, but a dream that Bhansali had brought to life on screen. Big sets, spectacular costumes, and the trio of Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit. The film created a stir at the box office as soon as it came out. People felt Shahrukh’s pain and clapped after seeing Aishwarya-Madhuri dancing together on the song ‘Dola Re Dola’. It became the biggest and highest grossing film of that year, which proved that Shahrukh Khan is not called ‘Badshah’ for nothing.
The biggest ‘secret’ of the year
The film which was at number two in this list surprised everyone. On one side there was an expensive and big star film like ‘Devdas’, while on the other side there was a small budget horror film. ‘Rule’Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu were new to the industry at that time, but the horror of this film and its songs (“Aapke Pyaar Mein Hum…”) created such a magic that people were drawn towards the theatres. ‘Raaz’ proved to be the biggest blockbuster of that year, making bumper earnings at a very low cost.
Akshay, Ajay and Amitabh’s magic
It was not that other stars were lagging behind. The year 2002 is also remembered for multi-starrer thriller films.
- Eyes: This film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal brought a unique story, in which three blind people rob a bank. This film was a superhit.
- Company: This underworld drama film of Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi is still counted among the best films of Ram Gopal Varma.
- Forks: This stylish action film of Sanjay Gupta had many big stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt. This was also successful at the box office.
Apart from these, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan ‘I am yours my love’ Full of patriotism like family films and Ajay Devgan ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’ The audience also liked it.
Overall, the year 2002 was very interesting. There was horror, drama and action here. But when it came to number 1, no one could stand in front of ‘Devdas’.
