Entertainment
Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate just made history as the highest-grossing Gujarati film ever. It's pulled in ₹57cr—overtaking the previous record-holder, Chaal Jeevi Laiye.
On its sixth Saturday alone (November 15), Laalo added another ₹5cr to its total.
A big moment for Gujarati cinema
Laalo's sixth weekend is shaping up to be a record-breaker too, with estimates of ₹14-15cr—huge for the industry.
This success signals a shift for Gujarati films, which have often been overshadowed by Bollywood in their own state.
With the industry crossing ₹100cr in annual revenue for the first time and Laalo possibly hitting triple digits soon, it feels like a new era is kicking off for regional cinema.
