Gujarati Film Laalo Outperforms Dhurandhar, Earns 23,900% Profit
A small Gujarati film called Laalo, made for just Rs 50 lakh, became a huge success.
It earned Rs 120.58 crore worldwide, which is 23,900% profit.
This is the highest ever for a Gujarati film.
It even did better than big movies like Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar.
The story is about a rickshaw driver who has spiritual visions of Lord Krishna.
The film is so popular that it will be released again in Hindi on January 9 to reach more people.
The director says the film's message is more important than the money it made.
Laalo, a Gujarati film with a Rs 50 lakh budget, earned Rs 120.58 crore globally, a 23,900% profit.
The film outperformed big-budget movies like Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and regional hits like Premalu and Manjummel Boys.
Laalo's success is attributed to strong word-of-mouth and a spiritual story about a rickshaw driver's journey with Lord Krishna.
The film will be re-released in Hindi on January 9 to reach a wider audience.
Director Ankit Sakhiya emphasizes the film's message over its financial success.
