Chandrayaan-3 is also cheaper than the average listed price of any of the Boeing aircraft, which Air India has recently placed an order for: 737 MAX ($128.25 million each), 787-9 ($292.50 million) and 777.9 ($442.20 million)

India`s lunar blockbuster, Chandrayaan-3, which cost the nation Rs 615 crore, is cheaper than the dud film, `Adipurush` (budget: Rs 700 crore), and if the amount is converted to US dollars ($75 million), it is cheaper than the two Hollywood movies ruling the global box office today -- Greta Gerwig`s `Barbie` ($145 million) and Christopher Nolan`s `Oppenheimer` ($100 million).
In fact, Nolan`s 2013 space movie, `Interstellar`, which is set in the future and features an Indian solar-powered drone, among other spectacular machines, cost $165 million to produce. Note that the budget is not inflation-adjusted. While on the subject of space travel-inspired film, it may be worth remembering that Ridley Scott`s Matt Damon-starrer `The Martian` (2015) was produced for $106 million.
