- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,September 28 2011]
Is there anything that Dookudu is leaving untouched? Besides becoming the biggest hit in the history of Telugu cinema and the highest BO grosser in the US market, and leaving its imprint in cosmopolitan cities like Chennai and Mumbai, Mahesh Babu's film has been talked about in a report in the popular LA-based daily, Los Angeles Times. The film's remarkable feat of becoming the biggest money-earner at the box office, has given the film this prestigious recognition.
The headline reads like this: 'Dookudu,' the biggest hit you've never heard of. The report talks about the film's genre and goes about talking about its success back home as well its unprecedented overseas business. It quotes Harish Sajja, the film's LA distributor as saying that Dookudu will stay in theaters through the fall.
It quotes the stunning figure of $82,000 that the movie took in at a multiplex in Fairfax Country, Va.
With Dookudu making news and waves each passing day, it is only a matter of time before it gets a whopping price for its remake rights in Hindi and Tamil. Much like Pokiri, it may see a successful run in both the languages. Going by the craze for Telugu scripts in Bollywood, however, it might be adapted in Hindi first.
The film is topping the charts in terms of collections in the desi market as well.
