I remember when Saawariya was releasing.. my seniors would ALWAYS be talking about Ranbir and that movie and how they are excited for the movie. And all this gushing happened during some term exams, before and after exam - they'd keep talking about "Ranbiiir " and Saawariya... never seen that much craze before a movie was released TBH, atleast up until then.

Whenever I come across Saawariya, I remember that exam hall and those girls' fangirling.

Ab jr & Ranbir had Grand Launch... designer by Big Star Family... that much hyped they were that Audience didn't even gave them chance of considering them non-star-sons... Refugee had not tanked at BO, AB Sr factor did help, it was Average (SUCCESS).

Lakhan and Hippo should make a debut in Bollywood.

Maybe remake of sholay or raam lakhan

It might make the list of top most male debut that sank like titanic.

Biwi ho Toh Aisi was flop?
I remember it running HF everywhere. It was Rekha's movie , it was successful. Songs were hit .
Even Sallu mentioned that he prayed for it to flop but it was a hit .

Ajay Devgn's debut film Phool aur Kaante was actually a superhit

The songs were big hits too and Ajay's fight scenes made him overnight star
