Hopes are high that upcoming Bollywood film 'Laal Singh Chaddha' could revive the fortunes of the Hindi-language industry. Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha" is an adaptation of the 1994 Hollywood feelgood hit "Forrest Gump". All eyes are on "Laal Singh Chaddha" and family dramedy "Raksha Bandhan" with Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar. Taurani estimates that "Laal Singh Chaddha" will make $19 million, falling short of Khan's per-film average of $35 million. Khan, who co-produced "Laal Singh Chaddha", believes Bollywood hasn't lost its mojo, blaming the early release of movies on streaming services for lower box-office takings.
