Record
Kismet, a movie produced by the Bombay Talkies in 1943, created a local record for the longest continual showing of the same film. The movie continued to run for more than three and half years at the Roxy movie theater in Calcutta, India. Due to the overwhelming success of the film, Rajnarayan Dube organized a great Bhoj (feast) for the people of Calcutta, which continued for over one week. More than one and half Lakh people (150,000) benefited from taking part in the feast.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“One foot in each great ocean
Is a record stride or stretch.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“A wellborn mind that is practiced in dealing with people makes itself thoroughly agreeable by itself. Art is nothing else but the list and record of the productions of such minds.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
