New Delhi: 

How to Train Your Dragon has finally hit the theaters and is doing a marvellous job at the box office. The movie, which is directed by Dean DeBlois released in theaters on June 13. The movie is said to be inspired by Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s live-action is a remake of the 2010 animated film, How to Train Your Dragon.

The movie’s storyline is about harsh island of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been enemies for ages. Hiccup distinguishes himself as the creative yet undervalued son of Chief Stoick the Vast.

Their unexpected connection uncovers the genuine essence of dragons, questioning the very core of Viking culture. The story also shows the relationship between dragons and humans, and shows the challenges, fears, and conflicts of the two species.

The film, which is released in IMAX 3D, is resonating with the audiences very well and has minted Rs 4.88 crore net at the Indian box office on its opening day, as reported by the TOI and according to film industry tracker Sacnilk’s earlier estimates.
