Why Aladdin is getting so famous among the audience
After looking at Aladdin box office collection day 1, you might be thinking about some of the reasons why this Hollywood entertainer has beaten almost every other Hindi film.
Well, it is simply because that the magical entertainer is loaded with all the elements to attract huge audience back to theaters.
Along with that, you can well see the presence of a plethora of Bollywood style dance sequences which is something tough to find in Hollywood films.

Aladdin makers already knew from the very beginning that India happens to be a great market for them along with the fact that the movie has got a number of elements to draw huge audiences back to the theaters.
The Hollywood fantasy is not only released in English but also in many other local languages including Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.
At the same time, one can enjoy all the magical sequences loaded with so many Bollywood style dance sequences.
The Indian audience always liked Eastern folk stories
Well, there is one more aspect that we can’t afford to skip at this point of time. It’s none other than the keen interest of Indian audience to watch such kind of Middle Eastern magical fantasies like Alibaba and Challis Chor, One Thousand and One Nights.
Now, taking all this forward in mind, the over enthusiastic fantasy genre of makers decided to showcase their films in India on small and big screens.
And that’s why we say that films that come from the Disney world has better prospects in countries like India where the audience really enjoy such films along with their friends and families.
If you look at the performance of such movies in the past, most of their versions managed to taste huge success. It clearly suggests that Disney continues to build its own brand in India, especially after registering so many success stories.
Take a look at the brand Disney that will take you to some of their recent movies that simply managed to register a clear win in the Indian market.
From Infinity War to The Jungle Book to Avengers: Endgame, all of them narrate the same story together. Not only this, there are many more films from the production studios that are yet to be counted along with them.
These include some more films like Antman and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and many more.
Aladdin box office collection day 1- Disney has a lot more to offer
After looking at Aladdin box office collection, you can imagine the kind of craze that the people of this country has for such kind of films.
As Aladdin is already released, there is so much in store coming up right after this. It includes the collection of upcoming Marvel movies including Dark Phoenix from none other than X-Men franchise that is about to hit at the silver screens shortly.
Aladdin is currently performing extremely well. At the same time, the performance of other Hindi flicks is also expected to rise in the time to come after scoring a positive word of mouth.
As far as the Vivek Oberoi’s PM Narendra Modi biopic is concerned, it fared poorly, especially in Mumbai region as it witnessed not more than 10% shows occupancy rate.
On the other side of it, Arjun Kapoor’s India’s Most Wanted was even poorer as compared to the Narendra Modi biopic with even lesser number of fast filling shows.
So, if you look at the overall impression of Aladdin over other Hindi movies released around the same time, we can say that the above trend is not new as Hollywood has proved in tough competition for most Bollywood movies. And this time too, Hollywood scores far better than Bollywood.
