50 years ago, a film with no superstars went on to become a blockbuster. Such was the impact of this film that it rivalled Sholay in terms of its box office success and even beat the Amitabh-Shashi Kapoor starrer- Deewaar. And at the heart of it was a lesser-known goddess, who drew in the crowds to cinema halls. Theatres felt like temples and the audience like devotees. That was the power of Jai Santoshi Maa that was made on a frugal budget but left a lasting impression.
