Can you tell about those Bollywood films made with the same name, which were made thrice and were blockbusters all three times? These films were made with a gap of 56 years and were successful at the box office every time. You will be surprised to know this, but this is the truth. From Bollywood to South, it happened many times that two or more films were made with the same title, but it rarely happened that all of them were successful. But, there is one title which has dominated the box office whenever the film has been made. The name of the film title we are talking about is ‘Barsaat’. Not one or two but three films have been made from this title.
