On This Day: Dil v Ghayal Clash
This day thirty one years back saw Dil and Ghayal release on the same day on 22nd June 1990 and both films proved to be BLOCKBUSTERS. It was one of the rare occasions that two films released together both emerged BLOCKBUSTERS.
Ghayal was the action film but it was Dil that took the lead at the box office from the first day and it remained that way for the first six months. The music of Dil was huge and it was a youth love story for the mass audience. The business of Dil was better than Ghayal by around 20% in all circuits by the end of 1990 except for CP Berar and the South circuits.
The Ghayal story did not finish in 1990 and went on and on. The film had its first repeat run in Mumbai on 27th September 1991 and the response was earth shattering as despite being one year old the film was competing with new blockbuster films.
Ghayal started to catch Dil up in 1991 with strong repeat runs as Sunny Deol consolidated the action image. The business of Ghayal remained lower than Dil in Delhi / UP and East India but in other circuits it caught up and went ahead. It became the highest grossing film of 1990 in early 1992 as it collected almost 1 crore nett in a huge repeat run in Mumbai circuit.
In this repeat run the film collected more in the first week that the first week of the original run and that too when the first run itself had taken a big start. the second week in this run saw an insane 20% increase in collections as they released more prints. Ghayal is the only film to have such high collections in repeat run in any city in one week (not counting some old films released in colour). The film had the better occupancy than all films released in August, September, October and November in 1991 barring Saudagar and Phool Aur Kaante. The repeat run first week was even better than a big film like Lamhe (10.74 lakhs and 82%).
The
numbers for the first week in original run and repeat run in Mumbai city of
Ghayal are as follows. The repeat run numbers were simply phenomenal.

Ghayal set records in repeat runs. No film from the nineties was even close to it in repeat runs and only Sholay has higher business in repeat runs in the history of Hindi cinema. Ghayal contiuned to have more repeat runs as the Sunny Deol action image consolidated through the nineties and eventually went to 3.25 crore nett plus in Mumbai which was an extraordinary total.
Dil and Ghayal were huge blockbusters with both films clocking up over 2.50 crore footfalls which is around 300 crore nett plus today in terms of business today. The biggest achievement of Ghayal was that it became an iconic film in time. Ghayal had actual results post release as huge crowds turned up to watch repeat runs of the film whenever it was released.
Rewind: Salman Khan's interview to Filmy Duniya, April 1995.
Filmy Duniya, April 1995
Salman : Jab meri mukhya abhineta ke taur par "Maine Pyar Kiya" release hui aur chali bhi khoob.
Salman : Ab Kya Bataein, Bura pal bhi yahi tha. Meri picture chali lekin mjhe koi nhi puch rha tha. Meri heroine saara shrey le gayin. Mujhe sirf Media ka samarthan tha, lekin darshak aur film industry ke logon ko nhi lagta tha ki mjhe acting aati hai. Lagbhag 6 mahine ghar par khaali betha raha, Papa ne fir madat ki film dilwane mein.
Salman : Nhi, "Sanam Bewafa" pehle sign ki thi, lekin "Baaghi" pehle release hui. Jab "Baaghi" nhi chali tou maine Mumbai ke Distributor jo kaafi nuksaan mei tthe, unko "Patthar Ke Phool" kam daam mein dilwayi lekin shayad kismat kharab thi, wo bhi nhi chali.
Salman : Media aur alochak tou hamesha dost rahe hain, sabne acha hi likha hai hamesha. Darshak bhi dheere dheere apnane lage hain. Abhi kuch comedy filmein bhi kar raha hoon, ek mein dohri bhumika hai, koshish tou hai kuch acha aur alag karne ki baaki darshak pe hai wo kitna apnate hain.
Salman : Main Kisi bhaari bharkam "Mughal-E-Azam" mein yakeen nhi rakhta, mera pasandida kirdar "Mard" film se "Amitabh Bachchan" ka hai. Main jab bhi apni alag picture likhunga, "Mard" ko jehen mei rakh ke hi likhunga.
Salman : Nahi, aap bhul rahe hain "Saajan" aur "Sanam Bewafa" achi chali thi.
Salman : "Saajan" sirf gaano ki wajah se chali thi aur "Sanjay Dutt" bade bhai hain. Unka abhinay aur patr mujhse jyada behtar tthe. Meri aane waali film "Jeet" mein bhi "Sunny Deol" mukhya bhumika mein hain. Jabki "Majhdhaar" "Khamoshi" aur "Auzaar" mein mera ahem kirdar hai. Ye sab chalta rehta hai. Hum koi "Bachchan" nahi hain ki har picture mein chaaye rahen.
Salman : Main nhi chahta aisa daur kabhi firse aaye. "Amitabh Bachchan" ki shaksiyat kisi aur ko ubharne ke mauka nhi deti thi, lekin humko film chalane ke liye sabko sath lekar chalna hota hai. Unke jaane ke baad daur badal chuka hai, keh sakte hain 1960 ke dashak ki tarah abhinetriyan phir se apni upastithi darj karwa rahi hain aur ye badlav acha hi hai.
