"Crazy Rich Asians" is making quite an impact globally with its storyline and box office business, but the film will not release in India. When a Twitter user questioned about the buzz that "Crazy Rich Asians" won't be hitting the screens in India, a response from the official Twitter handle of the studio Warner Bros India read: "We are sad to announce that 'Crazy Rich Asians' would not be releasing in India."

After reading this, Indians expressed their disappointment over the film not coming to their country. One user wrote: "What a shame! Though I found the book to be much better than the movie, the audience reactions (audible collective gasp at some points, pin-drop silence at Araminta's entry at the wedding) will remain with me for a long long time."
