This
makes

as
of
today.
Sony

the

ever)
in
four
languages
-
English,
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu
-
and
in
2D
and
IMAX
formats.
The
film's
weekend
had
the
best
opening
for
a
Bond
film
in
India
so
far,
exceeding
other
big
box
office
performers
Quantum
of
Solace
(2008)
and
Casino
Royale
(2006).
Both
the
films
posted
lifetime

respectively.
Skyfall
also
posted
the
biggest
ever
Thursday
opening
for
any
Hollywood
title
with
Rs
6.5
crore.
Skyfall
has
not
only
continued
India's
fascination
with
the
James
Bond
franchise,
but
also
expanded
it.
"Extremely
positive
reviews
and
word-of-mouth
will
ensure
that
the
film
has
a
long
and
successful
run
at
the
Box

and
will
garner
repeat
viewings
as
well," said
