Michael comes to Rajasthan

It’s a landmark moment for Indian exhibition as Michael has become the first Hollywood film to screen at Jaipur’s iconic Raj Mandir Cinema. The limited run marks a historic first for the celebrated theatre, long associated with Hindi cinema. “It is a pleasure for us at Raj Mandir Cinema to collaborate with Universal Pictures India in presenting Michael, a celebration of the musical genius,” said Pankaj Surana, of Raj Mandir, in a statement.

The Michael Jackson biopic has opened strongly at the Indian box office. The film earned approximately Rs 1.93 crore gross in paid previews and is tracking to have a massive opening weekend, with estimates suggesting a total over Rs 20 crore.
