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.

We are presenting a few lines of the article here from their section.

“The most popular movies The 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.

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.”
