Re: Khuda Ke Liye (threads merged)
The 3.5 million budget sounds ridiculous as Laaj, a film which was also shot in the tribal areas, which had a foreign cast from UK [that included some more experienced actors than the ones used for KKL] cost the makers 28 million rupees [or 2.8 crore]. That film was just as technically sound as KKL was, the prints having been processed at Cinecolor with DTS and all that. I would believe that Mansoor spent max 1.5 crores on the UK/US segement of the film, so Rs 40 million or 4 crore seems to a reasonable estimate. Keep in mind that other than Shaan, t he rest of the main leads are newcomers, and they come cheap.
