Indian films releasing internationally and doing a great deal of business there is becoming a more and more common phenomenon. Especially with markets like China opening up, Indian films are now travelling more than ever before. One such market has been Russia which has had a deep-rooted connect with Bollywood for years now. Currently, it is Barun Sobti's 22 Yards, which is creating waves in Russia.

Directed by Mitali Ghoshal the film has been recording tremendous response from the audiences there especially given the film is an indie genre and despite its scale, the film managed to get a vast release in over 100 screens. This feat is rare as most indie films get a restricted release in just a handful of screens or are usually at max shown at film festivals in Russia.
