From "Mother India", "Sangam", "Guide" to "Sholay", Indian industrialists Hinduja Brothers distributed around 1,200 films worldwide, playing a significant role in shaping Hindi cinema. "In all these films we have financed and distributed, we have never lost money because we work hard to earn money," said G P Hinduja, co-chairman of the Hinduja Group of Industries.
