1. Khosla Ka Ghosla

Dibakar Banerjee’s iconic debut film still enjoys massive popularity, and it was all done within a budget of Rs 3 crore. Who needs Cappadocia when you have Mumbai?

2. Bheja Fry

Yet another sleeper hit, this film’s overall budget was Rs 1.5 crore – literally half the amount that Sallu and company apparently spent on a song. A song! 

3. Mithya

This 2008 dark comedy starring Naseeruddin Shah and Ranvir Shorey was actually made with a budget of Rs 2.25 crore. 

4. Iqbal

This coming-of-age sports drama starring Shreyas Talpade was made entirely on a budget of Rs 2.25 crore.

5. Raman Raghav 2.0

Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the soon-to-be-famous Sobhita Dhulipala, this gritty 2016 film was made by Anurag Kashyap for a little over Rs 3 crore.

6. B.A Pass

This movie, starring Shilpa Shukla, was based on a Hindi short story called The Railway Aunty. It was made on a budget of Rs 3 crore.

7. Titli

This critically acclaimed film directed by Kanu Behl was made for around Rs 3 crore.

8. Do Dooni Chaar

It’s hard to imagine that a film starring Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor would be low budget, but this movie was actually made on just Rs 2 crore.

9. Bombay Boys

This 1998 cult comedy featured everyone from Rahul Bose to Naveen Andrews and Naseeruddin Shah. The craziest part? It was filmed on a budget of Rs 70 lakhs.

I wonder if Salman’s going to see this and feel bad or proud.
