This is the first time in 40 years that an Israeli movie has sold one million tickets domestically. It is now fourth on the all-time Israeli box-office list; the three top films, Sallah Shabbati, Kazablan and Eskimo Limon are from the 1960s and 1970s.

Saving Shuli, which stars and was created by the Mah Kashur trio, is a comedy about three friends who go to Colombia to rescue one of their sons, who has been kidnapped by a drug kingpin. It's a bit like Romancing the Stone meets Eretz Nehederet (Wonderful Country) as they try to pay the ransom using Bit.
