Objection, your honour. Ranjhanaa is not a small budget film. It had a budget of 35 cr. Compared to that, Vicky Donor had a 5 cr budget and had no established stars. That's more like a small budget film. Ranjhanaa was just not a Chennai Express-kind of film but Bolly market is deeper than TF and still has space for middle-of-the-road films. I doubt YashRaj has spent 150 cr or something like that on the upcoming Gunday but it's not a small film either.

Compare that budget to that of the last 2 movies Rahman did in Hindi - JTHJ and Rockstar. Vicky Donor tiny budget padam Raanjhanaa 35cr budget appadingrathu aachariyamaadhan irukku. Still, it is not a typical big budget movie in hindi. People talk as if Rahman only composes for movies which feature established stars and renowned producers/directors. That is not true. Dhanush may have achieved fame through 'kolaveri' and is a national award winner but he was a largely unknown actor to hindi audience and was making his debut in hindi.
