The DC universe has a new face, and India has given it a cautious welcome.

The Silver Lining: Hollywood Is Having a Moment in India

Here’s what gives reason for some optimism. Hollywood films have been performing remarkably well in India this year, with several non-IP and unexpected titles outperforming projections — including Project Hail Mary, The Mummy, Obsession, and The Devil Wears Prada 2. If word-of-mouth improves, Supergirl could tap into that same appetite for international content.

The target for the film is a weekend gross of around ₹7 to 9 crore, with weekday performance being the real test of its legs. pinkvilla
