Bollywood history at the Chinese box office
China has previously become a lucrative overseas market for several Hindi films. Blockbusters like ‘Dangal’, ‘Secret Superstar’, ‘3 Idiots’, ‘Andhadhun’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ had considerable success there, with ‘Dangal’ becoming one of the biggest Indian hits in the country.However, after the release of ‘Andhadhun’, very few major Bollywood films have made it to Chinese theatres. If “Ramayana Part 1” gets a release, it could mark a significant return of Hindi cinema to the market and potentially pave the way for more Indian films.
