The Lion King – the last big Hollywood release in India has proved to be a huge hit. It has just been 12 days since the release of the film and it’s ready to cross the 125 crores mark.
The film after a very good first week is continuing to do well even in the second week and that too despite competition from new Bollywood releases Judgementall Hai Kya & Arjun Patiala. It, in fact, is doing better business than the combined total of both Bollywood films.
However, it seems like the film is slowly losing the race against similar Hollywood release The Jungle Book (2016). Despite getting a better opening compared to the 2016 film and good word of mouth, it seems the film won’t be able to surpass The Jungle Book.
