Best thing to happen to cinema

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2008)

I was in my 5th grade when i saw this movie. The year was 1994. As far as I remember, this was 1 of the 1st Hollywood movie that turned out to be a blockbuster in India. Prior to JP, there were no Hindi dubbed movies. All you had Hollywood movies on VHS. Even movie theaters never dared to play an English movie, especially in smaller cities. JP was the 1st 1 that was watched by almost half of the Indian population. They had never seen such a thing. the cinematography, special effects, sound effects, etc. Last but not the least, no one had even seen a picture of how a dinosaur looks. People rushed in with there kids to see this movie. House full everywhere. Then there were the merchandise: t-shirts, stickers, water bottles, tiffin boxes, school bags etc. It was a phenomenon in India. Never ever saw such a thing again. JP can be considered as the best thing to happen to the world of cinema. Also, i agree to the previous comment, the movie should be listed in top 5 in the IMDb's list of best movies.
