'Bahubali 2' became a 1000 crore film when 10 crore tickets were sold, then why did this film that sold 25 crore tickets earn only 35 crores?

Bollywood's iconic film 'Sholay' is a favorite of people of all ages. The film has recently completed its 50 years. Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini's trio were seen in it. Not only drama but also love, action and tragedy were portrayed well on screen in the film. The surprising thing is that after its release, 25 crore tickets of this film were sold. But its earnings were only 35 crores. Know what was the reason...

What was the budget of Dharmendra's film 'Sholay'?

This blockbuster film of Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra was released on 15 August 1975. The audience did not like it much for two-four days after its release. But then a huge crowd of people started arriving in theaters to watch the film and the film broke many big records of earnings. According to Sacnilk, the budget of the film Sholay was Rs 3 crore and it earned 35 crores in India, while the worldwide collection of the film was 50 crores.

25 crore tickets of 'Sholay' were sold

After the release of the film 'Sholay', 25 crore tickets were sold. But in this way, the earning of 35 crores was very less. If seen in today's time, the collection of the film was very less at that time. Because if we talk about Prabhas's film 'Bahubali', it did a business of 1000 crores by selling only 10 crore tickets. However, the reason for such a difference in this collection is that 'Sholay' was released 50 years ago. At that time, the ticket rates were around 2 rupees. There were no multiplexes at that time.

How much would 'Sholay' have collected today?

In today's era, where there are many multiplexes in a city, the ticket rates have also increased from several hundred to several thousand rupees. This is the reason why films like 'Bahubali' and 'Dangal' earned a lot even by selling fewer tickets than 'Sholay'. But you will be surprised to know that if this film had been released in today's time, it would have surpassed Prabhas' 'Bahubali' in terms of collection. Its collection would have been around Rs 3000 crore.
