"We never set out with the ambition of [breaking box-office records]. We were a bunch of people making a crazy film," laughs Tabu, admittedly overwhelmed at the smashing success of AndhaDhun in China. Having released under the title of Piano Player three weeks ago, the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer has swiftly become the highest grossing non-Hollywood film in the country with earnings of Rs 300 crore and counting.

Ask her what about the Sriram Raghavan-directed thriller may have resonated with the audience, and she analyses, "The characters are portrayed as genuine people, which is why everyone can relate to them. They don't have cultural restriction. The situations and emotions are real. It has clicked with the audience because of its relatable content. Also, the film engages its viewers at every point. When AndhaDhun released here, we saw how people were talking about the end for months. It's almost as if the audience had become investigators, which is so rare."
