The Bollywood film was the highest-grossing film in its opening weekend in India, and had the highest opening day collections for an Indian film up until that point.
The actors in the Mexican version - Alfonso Dosal, Christian Vazquez and German Valdez who are reprising the roles of Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi - are a perfect fit to play the Indian characters.
