Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha proved to be a major disaster at the box office at home, but the film is minting money in overseas markets and is set to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022.
The film reportedly raked in $7.5 million or INR 59 crore in its first week, trumping the business of Gangubai Kathiawadi ($7.47 million) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 ($5.88 million).
The film still hinges on China’s release to hit the theatrical profit mark; it is pertinent to note that Aamir's previous films such as Dangal and Secret Superstar were roaring success at the Chinese box office.
Directed by Advait Chandan, with co-stars Kareena Kapoor and Mona Singh, Laal Singh Chaddha was labelled 'the biggest flop' in Aamir's career after 2000's Mela.
