Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, B.R. Chopra Fail to Stop Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 Storm
- •In 1978, three Amitabh Bachchan films, 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar', 'Trishul', and 'Don', dominated the box office top 5.
- •Raj Kapoor attempted to counter Salim-Javed's influence and Amitabh's rise with 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', which performed averagely despite artistic acclaim.
- •Dev Anand's 'Des Pardes' also aimed to be a game-changer but achieved only average box office success.
- •B.R. Chopra's 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' was a hit but couldn't compete with Amitabh's blockbusters.
- •Yash Chopra's 'Trishul', with Salim-Javed's story and Amitabh Bachchan, became a blockbuster, solidifying Amitabh's dominance.
