This melodrama was incredibly popular.
Today, thanks to open distribution data, reviewers can easily determine the commercial success of a film. However, in Soviet times, this information was known only to a narrow circle of people. But in the 90s, this issue was taken up by Sergey Kudryavtsev, who compiled a list of the highest grossing films.
In the first place, the film critic placed the Mexican melodrama Yesenia. According to the expert, it was watched by more than 91 million viewers. Such an incredible figure might not be surpassed by any Soviet film. Moreover, even today no one might beat this record.
