A miracle of doctors
Tarun wrote, People all over the country were praying for Amitabh’s recovery. This was something unexpected – the whole nation was praying for a man and so it happened, Amitabh was spared. My wife and millions of others said it was ‘by the grace of God’. I do not agree with this. I told my wife and Jaya that if Amit had not survived, everyone would have blamed the doctors. Why didn’t they praise the doctors now that they were saved? He had no answer. They thought it was a miracle of God. I don’t think so. This was the miracle of Kandy Hospital doctors.
When did the movie come out?
Coolie movie was directed by Manmohan Desai. This movie was released in 1983. In this film, Amitabh was injured so badly that it became difficult for him to survive.
