Starring superstar Akshay Kumar and directed by Mohit Suri, the highly anticipated movie Sooryvanshi released earlier this week to an overwhelming response from both audiences and critics. Post-lackdown worries thanks to nationwide emergencies, everyone eagerly awaited the success of these new Bollywood titles.
And so far, so good. After only one day in cinemas, it’s not just ‘expected’ for such a film; it’s a hope fulfilled! In two days since its release Sooryvanshi collected USD $727K USD in markets abroad – namely United Arab Emirates (UAE) & Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). After setting records on Day One with US$3.48 Million earnings [Rs 3.16 Cr] from UAE alone*, it seems clear that things are looking up for upcoming releases thanks to strong foreign ticket sales – which could lead to unprecedented earnings for Indian cinema across borders soon enough!
