There are many critics who believe that Bollywood movies are meant to be watched for relaxation rather than for taxing one’s brain by making one to think.

Rajesh Khanna’s decline from his superstardom began in the second half of 1970s. During this period, he worked in a few movies which have been consigned to the dustbin of history. How many people, for instance recall this movie called “Bhola Bhala” ? Very few indeed.
