While we all knew Dookudu was re-writing Telugu Box Office history in the United States, a different sort of commendation has come for the movie from a most unexpected quarter. The prestigious ‘Los Angeles Times’ has featured Dookudu in their entertainment section.

Behindreels is presenting a few lines of the article here from their section.

The most popular movies at the multiplex this past weekend included some familiar titles: "The Lion King," "Moneyball," "Drive" and "Dookudu: Daring & Dashing."
Doo-wha?
"Dookudu," an Indian cinema offering that blends action, comedy, romance and dance sequences (don't they always?), scored three of the seven most lucrative engagements around the country, according to the trade newspaper Variety. At a multiplex in Fairfax County, Va., the movie took in a whopping $82,000 over the weekend, a sum surpassed only by a trio of "Moneyball" engagements (at gargantuan venues such as AMC Lincoln Square and Regal Union Square in Manhattan and the ArcLight in Hollywood).
The Virginia multiplex was an outlet of the Phoenix BIG chain, which programs Indian films along with the "Abductions" and "Dolphin Tales" of the world. (The other two engagements, incidentally, came in Edison, N.J., and suburban Dallas, where the film took in $73,000 and $71,000, respectively, over the weekend.)
Making the feat more striking: "Dookudu" is a Tollywood film, the nickname for the Telugu-language cinema from India's Andhra Pradesh region. While Hindi-oriented Bollywood movies sometimes land on domestic box-office charts, reminding the American film industry of the shadow economy that is Indian cinema in the U.S., it's rarer for a Tollywood film to pull off the feat.
