Boxoffy Read
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man found its Indian audience in the early multiplex era, when superhero cinema was just beginning to establish itself as a sustainable commercial category beyond individual franchise events. Tobey Maguire's everyman Peter Parker and the New York setting translated readily. The film's India gross reflected a market that was learning to engage with American superhero mythology on its own terms.
