They... that the queues were a mile long. Released in 1978 ... 44 years." Recalling the year that witnessed some of his biggest hits, Big B added in his caption: "And these also released same year: Kasme Vaade, Trishul, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Ganga Ki Saugandh .. 5 blockbusters in one year... Some of them ran more than 50 weeks...Kya din the wo bhi (What days they were)."
