MUMBAI:
About a month after the Indian film Festival was held
in Seoul, three Bollywood films will shortly open in
the country’s theatres this month with an aim to
expand the presence of Indian films in Korea’s
film market.
The
release of the three films - Stanley’s Tiffin
Box, God’s Own Child and The Robot -
comes in the wake of a successful year of Bollywood
films in Korea.
Ever
since the 2009 box office success of Danny Boyle’s
romantic drama Slumdog Millionaire, Indian
films as well as the term Bollywood have become familiar
among moviegoers in the country.
Last
year, Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots drew
around 450,000 viewers while Karan Johar’s
My Name is Khan had 380,000. This was followed
by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama Guzaarish
that drew in 77,000 upon its release last November.
