Since then, Bollywood has regularly delighted fans all over the world with songs, dances and pathos, and producers - with ever-increasing profits. For example, in 1975 the film "Revenge and the Law" received three times more money than the record holder of 1960 "The Great Mogul", and the film "Who am I for You", filmed in 1994, surpassed the proceeds from "Revenge and the Law" in four times.
