Laal Singh Chaddha is currently the highest-grossing Hindi film at the international box office topping Gangubai Kathiawadi and Kashmir Files.
While doing poorly domestically, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha has surpassed Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to become the biggest Hindi film of 2022 in international markets. Laal Singh Chaddha crosses the Rs. 125 crore mark at the worldwide box office earning more than Rs. 11.70 crores on day 1.
With $11 million (Rs 125 crore) in over a week of release, Laal Singh Chaddha has managed to overtake Gangubai Kathiawadi ($7.47 million), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 ($5.88 million), and The Kashmir Files ($5.7 million). By comparison, each of those three movies was also a big hit in India. The Telugu hit RRR, however, has made nearly $20 million from international markets.
Laal Singh Chaddha has broken a significant record at the worldwide box office. According to Bollywood Hungama, the Forrest Gump remake is now the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 in international markets.
The film was produced on a reported budget of Rs 180 crores and began production before the pandemic. Portions were filmed in starts and stops during the last three years before the film was released in theatres earlier this month. Laal Singh Chaddha’s worldwide gross now stands at Rs 126 crore.
The film still stands a chance at turning a dramatic huge profit if it performs in China (which, in turn, depends on whether or not it even gets a China release). The territory has become notoriously unaccommodating for imported films in the post-pandemic era. However, Aamir Khan is a major star in China with his success in Secret Superstar and Dangal.
Laal Singh Chaddha is directed by Advait Chandan and co-stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya.
