All-time blockbusters
Made for ₹1.22 billion, it was the first Indian film to gross more than ₹7 billion and US$100 million worldwide, and at release it was the highest-grossing Indian film of all time. Its final worldwide gross was ₹769.89 crore.
Rajkumar Hirani directed and edited it from a script with Abhijat Joshi, and he produced it with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. A religious satire about superstition and false prophets, it stars Aamir Khan as an alien who loses the remote that links him to his spaceship and is told to ask God for help. Hirani and Joshi first scrapped an earlier version after noticing similarities with Inception, then rewrote it. It was the first Bollywood film shot in Belgium, and was released on 19 December 2014 to critical acclaim for Khan's performance and its humour. Its songs were composed by Shantanu Moitra, Ajay–Atul and Ankit Tiwari, and UTV Motion Pictures distributed it.
