Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun seems to have struck a chord with the Chinese audience. We say so because the film starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte in the lead has been minting money non-stop at the China box office. The black comedy thriller released in China last week on April 3 across more than 5000 screens and stormed the box office immediately. After entering the Rs 50 crore club then the coveted the Rs 100 crore club in just six days, Andhadhun is now heading towards the Rs 150 crore mark which is brilliant, to say the least.

Back home, Ayushmann starrer released last year in October and opened to rave reviews. The film impressed the audience as well and that resulted in getting cash ringing big time. Though the film's lifetime business didn't cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office, Andhadhun still became one of the biggest hits of 2018. And now that it's raking in moolah at the Chinese box office, we couldn't happier for the whole team. After all, good films should make money, right?
