New Delhi: Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail proved to be one of the most successful films of 2023 and while the film did not earn much in India at the time of its release, it later won everyone’s hearts. Now this film is ready to make a splash outside the country and is getting ready for a large scale release in China which will definitely double its profits. In a recent interview, actor Vikrant Massey, who played the lead role in the film, told that his film will be released on 20,000 screens in China.
12th Fail will be released on 20000 screens
Vikrant told India Today, ‘This has been in the works for a few months, but finally the news is out and everyone knows that the film is releasing in China. There is a huge demand for Hindi cinema or Indian cinema in China. The 12th Fail movie will be shown on more than 20,000 screens. China really caters to the entertainment sector and hence now the makers of 12th Mail are also going to become rich. When asked if Vikrant will go to China to promote the film, the actor said, ‘It is too early to talk about it, but I am really excited to promote the film there because after a long time. Something like this has happened.
The film completed 1347 shows in India
According to Bollywood Hungama, 12th Fail did not have a massive release in India and managed to earn Rs 56.75 crore in the domestic market. According to Sacknilk, on its opening day, the film had approximately 1,347 shows across India. Given its modest budget, it was seen as a major success for the film. Shortly thereafter, the film was released on the streaming platform Hotstar and received much appreciation on social media. Even after 25 weeks of its release, this film is still in theaters in India and now 12th Fail with a budget of Rs 20 crore is also going to dominate in China.
After Dangal and Secret Superstar in China, now the 12th failure business will be successful.
It is noteworthy that films like Dangal, Secret Superstar and PK have done incredible business in China in the past. According to Bollywood Hungama, upon its release in China, Dangal earned $196.89 million, Secret Superstar earned $118.24 million and PK earned $116.6 million. The release of Indian films was banned in China in 2020 after tensions between the two countries increased. However, this ban was lifted with the Chinese release of Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Chhichhore in 2022 and now Indian makers are free to release their films there.
