300 was a smash hit here in Pune with at least 2 multiplexes in Pune reporting housefull shows for the weekend.

In the words of one BookEazy customer who had confirmed tickets at CityPride “Brilliant for a movie shot entirely against a blue screen!”.

Here is another report from the Indian Express talking about the response to the movie in Delhi:

The figures indicate just where this movie stands today, for an offering with no Arnold, Stallone or Brad Pitt in it. It released across eleven theatres in NCR, with a total 36 show listings. Significantly, there were 26 premier shows. And for a weekday, all six theatres in south and west Delhi ran to full houses — and each of the viewers had a strong political take on it.
Welcome to the new world.

The other movie that has gone down well with the hollywood movie audience is the Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith delivering an excellent performance.
