Saturday, 14th June 2014 06:30 PM IST Ritesh Batra's much-loved directorial debut ‘The Lunchbox’ continues to eat away at the American ticket counters. The film starring Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur, has received a great response and has found its place in the US list of Top 5 highest grossing Indian movies of all time.
Recently, ‘The Lunchbox’ exceeded the collections of ‘My Name Is Khan’ in the US, and is now in the august company of starry films like ‘Chennai Express’, ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Dhoom 3’. However, ‘Monsoon Wedding’ still continues to be on the top of the charts. This performance by ‘The Lunchbox’ not only is a big victory for the sustained efforts put in by the film's producer Guneet Monga of Sikhya Entertainment. Talking about this, Guneet said, “We have seen in the past that while some of the festival favourites get great reviews, they don't do that well at the theatres. But ‘The Lunchbox’ has been a great commercial success and the new benchmark for all of us going forward.” |
