From superheroes, guess it’s time now for super dolls to start finding good audiences as well. Barbie is the kind of film which usually sees a start in 1-2 crores range in India. It’s primarily the action films or superhero affairs or major franchise offerings that have a steady audience in the country, and hence its very surprising to see a film like Barbie finding advance bookings going in its favour.
What’s all the more surprising is that it’s Hollywood all the way in India this week, what with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One already running strong, Oppenheimer already set for a very good start and now Barbie too embarking on a positive note.
The film doesn’t belong to any franchise and frankly, even as a brand it was more popular in the pre-internet era and hasn’t been so much in vogue in the last decade and a half. Still, for Barbie to make such a smashing comeback in its live-animation avatar is commendable.
