enthral them even after 59 years of its release.

While recent Bollywood blockbusters like 'Veer Zara', 'Kuch Kuch Hota hai', 'Karan Arjun' have earned their actors Salman and Shah Rukh Khan a huge fan following, thanks to their dubbing in local language Amharic, Ethiopians embraced the Mehboob Khan helmed classic without even understanding a word of Hindi.

Earlier, Indian movies were available with subtitles or sometimes even without that. But still the people understood them without any knowledge about Hindi.
