Crowds in India are, apparently, going wild over the new Karate Kid movie, starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan and produced by Will Smith.
As Kercy Daruwala, managing director at Sony Pictures, said, “We are expecting the numbers to go up in the coming week following positive word-of- mouth publicity. Many shows drew full houses during the weekend.”
Bollywood loves Jackie Chan, and, according to the article, this is the highest grossing Jackie Chan movie in India to date.
