build up through a punishing training and conditioning regime. X was

quite simply the fittest player in the game, and would wear his opponents

down through long rallies played at a furious pace.

came to end in the final of the World Open in 1986 in Toulouse, France,

This movie changed the trend from romantic films to action films

and pioneered a particular star ‘s new image of a brooding but

explosive person who fights back when cornered.." The film

ended the era of another superstar and started a new wave in

Hindi Cinema. At a time, when India was suffering from

corruption, low economic growth etc., and the common man

was left with frustration and anger over the system, Hindi

Cinema turned violent and aggressive. Reflecting the anger of

the masses, this star became the new hero, who had the

courage to fight against the wrong and maintaining moral

values at the same time. The film was a huge success and one

of the highest grossing films of that year, breaking this actor’s

dry spell at the box office and making him a star. Thus, this

remains an important film in the history of Indian Cinema and is

regarded as a classic today.

Identify the movie. Bonus points if you

get the actor and the year of release.
