Father-Son Film Face-Off: Border's Triumph vs. Lohe's Embarrassment in 1997

• J.P. Dutta's upcoming film Border 2 is generating buzz, with its song 'Sandeshe Aate Hain' trending.
• The original 1997 film Border, starring Sunny Deol, was a blockbuster based on the 1971 Battle of Longewala.
• Five months after Border's release, Dharmendra's film Lohe was released and heavily ridiculed for its crude dialogues and unrealistic action scenes.
• Border, made on a budget of 10 crore rupees, earned 39 crore rupees and won three National Awards and four Filmfare Awards.
• Lohe, made on 1.5 crore rupees, earned 4 crore rupees, but was considered a B-grade film due to its poor quality.

Why It Matters: 1997 saw a stark contrast: Sunny Deol's Border became a historic hit, while Dharmendra's Lohe faced ridicule.
