“Aline,” the biopic based on Grammy Award Winning Singer Celine Dion, has been acquired by Star Entertainment Private Limited for Exclusive Distribution in the Indian Subcontinent. This acquisition continues the decades-long relationship between the Leading Indian Distributors and French Major Film Studio, Gaumont.
The critically acclaimed musical comedy-drama world premiered at Cannes Film Festival and received a heartfelt five-minute standing ovation.. It will be released in India in early 2022.
Aline summited the top of the French Box office during opening week, with nearly 600,000 admissions, ahead of the Marvel “The Eternals”, and the new James Bond film, that came in third. Critics all around spoke high praise for the film. Ramin Setoodeh, Executive Editor at Variety, said that:
I’ve seen the Celine Dion Cannes 2021 movie Aline and I will never be the same. Magnificent camp!
The story follows a famous producer, Guy Claude (who is meant to be René Angélil), who discovers Aline and her golden voice, and sets out to make her the world’s greatest singer. The crowd-pleasing film charts Aline’s life journey from her childhood through to her sudden rise as a global superstar, showing her impressive transformation. The movie closely details Aline’s relationship with her producer and mentor, who became her husband, while showing her navigating a busy career and motherhood.
The film also features Celine Dion's top songs, including classics and fan favourites like 'My Heart Will Go On' that was in the movie Titanic.
