Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Suffers Disastrous Run at Indian Box Office –

Lilo & Stitch is a Disaster in India:

Disney’s latest animated offering Lilo & Stitch has failed to charm Indian audiences, turning out to be a box office disaster in the country. Despite being a globally cherished title with a strong nostalgic appeal, the film has only managed to rake in a disappointing ₹5.60 crore nett so far in India, pointing to a major misfire for the studio in the region.

Breaking down the numbers, the Mumbai circuit has contributed approximately ₹1.35 crore, while the southern states have added around ₹1.27 crore to the total. The rest of the country has shown little interest in the film, with collections tapering off quickly after release.

Industry analysts cite several factors behind the underwhelming performance. The film released with minimal buzz, and its marketing campaign in India was lackluster at best, failing to generate excitement among either children or families—the primary target audience. Moreover, the absence of a strong localised promotional strategy hurt its prospects further in a competitive market currently dominated by high-profile Indian releases.

While Lilo & Stitch has shown promise in North America and select overseas markets, its box office fate in India is a stark contrast, highlighting the widening gap in content preferences and audience connection. With local films drawing bigger crowds and international animated titles needing stronger positioning, Disney’s strategy for the Indian market may require serious rethinking.

As of now, Lilo & Stitch joins the list of recent Hollywood titles that failed to resonate with Indian moviegoers.
