The Chinese market is now wide open for Bollywood films

The MASSIVE START of #HindiMedium in China should encourage the makers of content-driven Indian films, which *don’t* ride on star power, to release their films in China... You never know what luck has in store for you!

'Hindi Medium' was a game-changer of sorts

The Saket Chaudhary directorial was hugely lapped up by the audience in India as well. It might have taken a slow start at the box-office but ended up being a superhit, courtesy its content. 'Hindi Medium' is India's third release in China in 2018 after 'Secret Superstar' and 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
