Open, beating Australia's Geoff Hunt (the game's dominant player in the
late-1970s) in the final. That tournament marked the start of an unbeaten
run which lasted for five years and 555 matches. The hallmark of his play
was his incredible fitness and stamina, which Rehmat Khan helped him
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.

Championship without losing a single point The unbeaten run finally
came to end in the final of the World Open in 1986 in Toulouse, France,
when X lost to New Zealand's Ross Norman. Norman had been in

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.
