Jeetendra and Sridevi in Tohfa: Celebrating 40 Years of the Biggest Hit

Jeetendra and Sridevi in Tohfa: Celebrating 40 Years of the Biggest Hit of 1984! 

A typical 80s masala drama with catchy songs and a gorgeous cast-well, Sridevi and Jaya Prada were certainly in fine form-the runaway success of the movie was unprecedented, reviving the flaying career of actor Jeetendra. Jeetendra's survival instincts, business and marketing acumen needs to be studied by this gen. What marketing maestros are doing today, he did back then. 

Tohfa was the rage of 1984, beating out stiff competition easily. Made within budget, in a short period of time, this remake was a run-away success that started a trend of Madra re-makes from the film factory down south. 

Sridevi, Jeetendra and Jaya Prada's BIGGEST hit of 1984 was released on this day! 38 years of Tohfa

 

Celebrating 38 years of Tohfa 

This modest budget film with Jeetendra and 'the new Telugu girls in Bombay' was the BIGGEST HIT of 1984!

Released on 3rd Feb 1984, the near frame-to-frame remake of the Telugu smash Devatha was just a runaway success despite lukewarm reviews. 

Nothing succeeds like success. #TBH not a huge fan of the film, the songs and dances by the leading ladies are fun tho'...
