It is first 3D and family film for Scorsese, who is a cult figure in direction with his masterpieces like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas and The Departed.
 
The film has been long awaited in India.

Hugo will be the third blockbuster Hollywood release for Viacom 18 Motion Pictures after Transformer 3 and Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol of 2011.
