7 Hollywood Movies That Set Indian Box Office On Fire
Updated : October 23, 2016 11:27 AM IST
As we have repeatedly been hinting at, Hollywood is slowly gaining a foot-hold in India. Things have so dramatically changed that now even the mighty Bollywood has fallen to its knees.
This year alone, Hollywood movies have dethroned many of the Bollywood juggernauts, leading to something of an animosity within the minds of Indian filmmakers.
Unlike before, Hollywood has fully adapted to the country's environment. There has been more focused marketing towards different sects of movie-goers in India and when these two factors combine with heightened demands of our audiences, Westersn movies are now a genuine threat to domestic film producers.
Here are the time Hollywood reminded all of us what it can do:
