There are two s of films made in Bollywood these days. High-budget films like Raees, Tubelight and Jagga Jasoos and low-budget movies like Hindi Medium and Toilet Ek Prem Katha.
Even after casting Irrfan Khan in Hindi Medium and Akshay Kumar in Toilet Ek Prem Katha, the two movies were made at a budget of Rs 2 crore and Rs 24 crore respectively. This helped these moves to earn sizeable profits.
While Hindi Medium registered Rs 70 crore India business, Toilet Ek Prem Katha raked in more than Rs 120 crore.
It seems Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s latest film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz could be the next film to make profits by keeping its budget low. The production cost of the movies is just Rs 5 crore as tweeted by Siddiqui.
Ppl r talking abt d budget of #BabumoshaiBandookbaaz, yes it's a 5Cr film including P&A bt fr me it's an art of cinema regardless of budget.
