Many low-budget films have proven their mettle in Bollywood. These include movies like “Kahaani,” “Andhadhun,” and “Vicky Donor.” These films prove that even low-budget films can become box-office superhits with a good story and strong acting from the cast. Today, we’ll tell you about one such 7-year-old Bollywood film, which grossed nine times its budget at the box office. This Hindi film became Bollywood’s eighth highest-grossing film in India in 2018. It featured a stellar cast, whose characters elicited laughter and tears from the audience.
The story of a low-budget film
The low-budget, all-time blockbuster Bollywood film we’re talking about is “Badhaai Ho.” This film is a comedy-drama.
