Indian Movies Attract Millions Around The World — And That Number Looks Set to Grow
Revenue earned by Indian movies overseas nearly tripled in 2017, with box office collections outside of India growing to $367 million.
Vasu Pawar was happy to drive about 70 miles to watch her favorite 2017 Indian movie — even if it was the second time she was seeing it.
The first time she watched “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” — an Indian blockbuster that raked in over $14 million overseas — she fell in love with it. The movie brought back memories of Mumbai from which she emigrated to the U.S. in 1976.
