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.
Recent silver-screen hits have not come from Hindi-language Bollywood but are in other Indian languages, such as action flicks "Pushpa", "KGF: Chapter 2" and "RRR". "RRR", released in March, raked in $87 million domestically, while "KGF: Chapter 2", which debuted a few weeks later, took in $106 million, media analyst Karan Taurani of Mumbai-based Elara Capital told AFP.
