NEW DELHI: It was a weekend of twin celebrations for Fox Star Studios India as James Cameron‘s epic action adventure Avatar not only won two Golden Globes for the best motion picture (Drama) and best director, but the film also grossed a total collection of Rs 950 million to become the highest grossing Hollywood film in India.

Avatar beat 2012‘s box-office collections to notch the No.1 position in India. Says Fox Star Studios India CEO Vijay Singh said, "It is a proud moment for Fox Star, as Avatar received two important honours at the Golden Globes and also became the No.1 Hollywood film in India. We believe that Avatar could close as the 2nd biggest film for 2009 after 3 Idiots."

The weekend victories at the awards have now made Avatar a strong contender for the forthcoming Oscars in March.
