| Bollywood witnessed a windfall
of good fortune last year, with movies raking in the moolah both at home
and overseas.
In 2006, films like "Krrish" and "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna"
got as much as Rs.320 million (over $7.2 million) from the overseas market
and "Dhoom:2" raked in a total collection of Rs.402 million in India.
On the other hand, varied films like "Lage Raho Munnabhai",
"Rang De Basanti", and "Omkara" did much to up the
standards of Hindi cinema.
The year 2007 has certainly got off to an eventful start
for the glitzy Hindi film industry. The first month of the New Year has
been encouraging. Though the month of January is traditionally considered
bad for film trade, this year the so-called jinx seems to have been broken.
