Arts & Entertainment Desk

Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha" might have tanked in Indian theatres, but it has broken significant records in box offices worldwide. The movie has overtaken "Gangubai Kathiawadi", "The Kashmir Files", and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 in overseas.

"Laal Singh Chaddha" has earned USD 7.5 million after a week of its release while "Gangubai Kathiawadi" ($7.47 million), "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" ($5.88 million), and "The Kashmir Files" ($5.7 million) earned at international markets. However, Telugu movie "RRR" grossed $20 million overseas.

Recently, the "Dangal" star lost out on a Rs 150 crore deal with Netflix due to its box office failure in Indian markets. "Laal Singh Chaddha" could barely generate Rs 50 crore at the domestic theatres.
