US BO: A Surprise Blockbuster

Karan Johar returned to direction after a gap of 7 years with the romantic family drama, Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani. The film is doing great business in India and might eventually emerge as a hit if it continues its momentum.

But what has taken everyone by surprise is its performance overseas, especially in the US. The film has crossed the staggering mark of $7.5 million and is racing towards $10 million, which is phenomenal. The total overseas collection of the film is expected to touch $20 Million.

Except for Pathaan, which was a rage in the USA, no other straight Hindi film has touched the $10 million mark in the post-pandemic world.

The success of the film shows that Karan Johar’s brand is still intact among NRIs, and a well-made, entertaining romantic family drama is still a hit with desi audiences overseas.
