Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha", an adaptation of the 1994 U.S. classic starring Tom Hanks, hits cinemas on Thursday ahead of India's 75th independence celebrations.
The film promises to take people through India's history in the same way Gump stumbled through and influenced major U.S. events like the Vietnam War. This could irk Indian right-wing critics who have already called for a boycott of the film because of comments made by Khan in 2015 that were deemed to be unpatriotic.
