‘Laapataa Ladies’ misses Oscar shortlist; Aamir Khan responds
India’s official entry for Oscars' International Film category, Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ (Lost Ladies) misses the shortlist. Aamir Khan productions responds.
Secret Superstar‘s mammoth success in China is the answer to why Aamir Khan is known as Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood, as the film’s dream run is proving out to be truly historical.
The film’s dream run is earth-shattering at the Chinese Box Office and it seems like there is no stopping for the film anytime soon.

Secret Superstar, which was released on January 19 in China, has been breaking records at the box office ever since its release by marching past the Rs.100-crore, Rs 200-crore and Rs 300-crore mark the opening week itself.
If reports are to be believed than the film has become the second Hindi film to collect more than Rs 500-crore in China.
Interestingly, Secret Superstar is also Aamir’s second film to achieve glorious feat as his sports drama Dangal collected more than $190 mn at the box office back in 2017.
The film’s strong word of mouth may have appealed to the audience in China but it’s Aamir’s huge fan following that helped the film to do a phenomenal business at the box office.
In just two weeks of the film’s release, the film has minted over $79 mn and whether the film will cross the $100 mn mark or not is a question yet to be answered.
Secret Superstar, which released on October 19, 2017, featured Zaira Wasim in the titular role and was helmed by debutante Advait Chandan.
