Secret Superstar earned over RS 450 crore while Bajrangi Bhaijaan took home above Rs 300 crore. The success story of Dangal, which released last year in China, needs no re-telling.
Hindi Medium was made on a budget of Rs 23 crore and it made nearly Rs 70 crore in India. The film is a critique on the commercialisation of the education system in India. It also stars Amrita Singh and Deepak Dobriyal in pivotal roles.
