The inevitable has finally happened. Ayushmann Khurrana's film Andhadhun has surpassed the lifetime business of Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan at the China box office and has become the third highest grossing Indian film in China. The black comedy thriller achieved this feat by entering into the coveted Rs 300 crore club. Yes, you heard that right. Sriram Raghavan's directorial venture is doing phenomenal business in China and literally seems unstoppable at the ticket windows. The film released on April 3 in more than 5000 screens across China and since then has minting big money at the BO nonstop.

Apart from Ayushmann, Andhadhun also stars Tabu and Radhika Apte in lead roles. In China, the film has been released as Piano Player and it looks like the quirky thriller will reach the $50 million mark at the China box office in no time. After impressing the masses in India last year, Andhadhun has certainly wowed the audience big time in China as well. Guess the makers and the star cast of the film should get ready to throw another success bash, no?
