Not 'Dangal' and 'Secret Superstar', but 'this' film sold 30 crore tickets in China, the record is still intact
The film 'Maharaja' has grossed Rs 91 crore in China. As the film nears the Rs 100 crore mark, the success of Indian films in China has once again been discussed.

'Maharaja' has earned Rs 91 crore in China. As the film nears the Rs 100 crore mark, the success of Indian films in China has once again been discussed. In the past few years, films like 'Dangal,' 'Secret Superstar,' and 'Andhadhun' have attracted huge crowds in China. Similarly, 'RRR' and 'Pushpa 2' have also done well in other Asian countries includingJapan. However, these blockbusters have not been able to break the 'Ha' record at the Chinese box office set by an Indian film that was released 54 years ago.
A film that sold 300 million tickets in China
When it comes to the international success of Indian films, it is very difficult to repeat the success of the 1971 film 'Karwaan' in China. Made on a very low budget, the film starred Jitendra and Asha Parekh in the lead roles. Directed by Nasir Hussain, the film was a superhit in India, grossing 3.6 crores, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of 1971. However, the film gained real fame 8 years later when it was released in China.'Karwaan' sold 8.8 crore tickets in its first release in China, making it the highest-grossing foreign film in China at that time.
'Karwaan' was so popular that it was re-released in China several times. With such re-releases, the film's total audience crossed the 300 crore mark. This surpassed the record set by 'Sholay' in India and the record set by 'Awara' in the Soviet Union.
Why is 'Karwaan' a bigger success than 'Dangal,' 'RRR,' and 'Pushpa 2'?
'Dangal' is considered the most successful Indian film in China with a gross of $238 million. The film sold 43.1 million tickets in China. Also, SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' created history by breaking records in the US and Japan. The film earned around $20 million in these two countries, but sold only 3 million tickets together. 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' has sold 60 million tickets in India in its first month and an estimated 10 million tickets
internationally. But even these figures cannot come close to the success achieved by 'Karvaan'.
Briefly about 'Caravan'
'Karwaan' is probably the most watched Indian film in theatres, as it has sold 320 million tickets worldwide. However, since most of this ticket sales were from re-releases, this record remains with 'Sholay'. 'Sholay' had sold 20 million tickets during its original run. 'Karwaan' was a crime thriller based on the 1953 film 'Girl on the Run'. It starred Jitendra, Asha Parekh, Aruna Irani, Mehmood Jr., and Helen. The songs from the film – 'Chadhti
Jawani,' 'Piya Tu Ab To Aaja,' 'Dilbar Dil Se Pyare,' and 'Kitna Pyara Vada' – were huge hits. 'Karwaan' grossed 35 million worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the 1970s and 1980s.
They’re not all so melancholy though, in fact, there are some K-dramas that are quite cheery, and end in happy endings for all involved. So if you’re looking for a K-drama without all the added heartache, keep on reading for 10 of the best.

8‘Love to Hate You’ (2023)
Created by Kim Jeong-kwon
Image via Netflix
Love to Hate You was released on Netflix just ahead of Valentine’s Day in 2023, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a perfect binge-watch for the lovey-dovey holiday. The series follows Yeo Mi-ran (Kim Ok-vin), a successful lawyer, who is offered a job at a male-dominated law firm that specializes in celebrity scandals. One of the celebrity clients is Nam Kang-ho (Teo Yoo), an actor who seems to have very little respect for women outside the occasional date.
Love to Hate You doesn’t sound like it should work. After all, how could Yeo Mi-ran end up falling for someone who makes such cruel comments about women when she so fiercely fights for women’s rights? But as the series unfolds, we get to know Nam Kang-ho better and see how both he and Yeo Mi-ran have been hurt by relationships in the past. Making their inevitable coupling all the sweeter as they learn to trust again with one another.
Because This is My First Life’s main relationship begins due to a marriage of convenience between Nam Se-hee (Lee Min-ki) and Yoon Ji-ho (Jung So-min). The two decide to marry since both are struggling financially and sharing a home would be cheaper. Things start out well for the pair as they get to know one another and become close. Living together also allows them to heal from past relationships and generally become a better, happier version of themselves.
By the time they fall in love, both Nam Se-hee and Yoon Ji-ho are in a much better place than they were in the beginning of the series, and are emotionally available to take on a relationship. This is proven time and time again as past events and family issues are thrown at them, and they show they can work through it and come out the other side even better. It’s a quirky way to find love, but it’s fascinating to watch unfold.
Our Beloved Summer is a coming-of-age story about two exes who promised to never see one another again when they broke up. This doesn’t go to plan, of course, and the pair are forced to face each other after a documentary they filmed in high school goes viral. It’s a classic tale of forced proximity, and we get to see how the former lovers react.
While the past love between Choi Ung (Choi Woo-shik) and Kook Yeon-soo (Kim Da-mi) is the main plot of Our Beloved Summer, we actually spend more time getting to know both characters now that they’re older. We get to see them make amends and form a friendship that eventually blossoms into rekindled love.

The pair have known each other since they were children, and haven’t lost the playful dynamic they’ve always had, which often lends to some very sweet scenes between them.
Despite their familiarity with one another, it isn’t so easy for Ko Dong-man and Choi Ae-ra at first, it takes a little bit for them to find the right balance, but they eventually figure it out, giving us a very charming romance. The romance is also equally balanced with the moments of friendship in the group, so there’s never a shortage of entertainment in Fight For My Way.
