It's hard to explain just how big Baby's Day Out and Stuart Little were in India. They were everywhere and everyone went to watch them.

 

Another similar example is probably Dunston Checks In. My parents actually took me to the theater for Dunston Checks In and Baby's Day Out. That alone should show how big they were.

We were shown the three films I mentioned in School movie day along with Spider-Man 2 and Tarzan.

[Flop]

The Stuart Little movies were huge back in the day. 

 

I re-watched both movies recently AND I liked the sequel more than the first one. Both Are under Appreciated IMO. They Were the Paddington movies before the Paddington movies happened.

With rumors of Takht getting shelved indefinitely, this will end up being a bad year for Janhvi. Gunjan Saxena and Rooh Afzana were both supposed to be big movies to showcase her and both are going straight to digital, and Takht was going to be a good supporting role for her.

the song single handely stopped the duet songs and Miss Pooja craze in late 2000s. changed Punjabi music industry in entirety giving rise to solo singers and rappers like Honey Singh.

Prime Video's Breathe came too early before OTT boom in India. The way people hype the TV series now, that would have been considered as Masterpiece. The best series from India outside TVF with a margin.

Season 1 and 2 of Inside Edge are pretty good but needed to be cut down by about 3 episodes each.
