Last Friday saw the release of the Karan Malhotra directed movie Shamshera, starring Ranbir Kapoor in dual roles along with Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor. While the movie was much promoted and released in numerous theatres, it failed to deliver in terms of performance at the box office – far from the expectation of an opening bang. The film has performed remarkably similar to its domestic box office collection in the overseas market of U.A.E/G.C.C, where it has earned AED 1,652,850 [Rs. 3.58 cr.] during the opening weekend. However, when compared to other previous releases, Shamshera has experienced massive underperformance…
The much-hyped Yash Raj Films production Shamshera, helmed by Karan Malhotra and featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and Vaani Kapoor, finally hit the theatres last week. Given the extensive promotional activities prior to the release and its anticipated release date, the film opened with a huge fanfare across 1200 screens in international markets. Sadly, it could not maintain the buzz, as both critics and moviegoers gave it a cold reception, resulting in a disastrous performance at the box office. This box office report explores the performance of Shamshera in the international markets on its opening weekend and how it stacks…
Last week on Friday, Karan Malhotra’s directorial, Shamshera – which had been talked about a lot and heavily promoted – was released. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor in a double role alongside Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor, the movie was assumed to have an explosive debut given its humongous scale of production and the huge release of 4,350 screens. Surprisingly, however, it was not the expected success story, but instead a failure as Shamshera remained at a low collection through its opening weekend. In this box office analysis, we compare the collections of Shamshera with the revenue of Ranbir Kapoor’s previous projects.…
This Friday marks the release of Ek Villain Returns, the second installment of the Ek Villain franchise. With Riteish Deshmukh, Siddharth Malhohtra and Shraddha Kapoor as its lead stars, expectations were high. Initially, it was predicted to make a modest debut with single digit numbers, yet, to everyone’s surprise, the film made an astonishing entrance in the double digits and eventually achieved the prestigious status of being a part of the Rs. 100 Crore Club. Frankly, it was an unexpected but well-deserved success, largely attributed to Mohit Suri’s brilliant direction and a number of chartbuster songs. Now John Abraham, Arjun…
The ambitious YRF – Karan Malhotra collaboration, Shamshera, which featured an all-star cast of Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vaani Kapoor, failed to achieve box office success, leaving the cast and crew feeling dejected. In response to the criticism the film received, director Karan Malhotra expressed his apology in a heartfelt note. Now, a day later, actor Sanjay Dutt, who portrayed the character of Shuddh Singh, has also expressed his support for the filmmaker in the form of an open letter. Through this letter, he hoped to share some of the warmth he experienced during the filming of the movie,…
After enduring a long period of struggle, Shamshera’s theatrical run is coming to an end. The movie opened badly and could not pick up any momentum over the weekend; its fate further deteriorated during the weekdays. Sadly, it did not garner much appreciation from viewers and this had a detrimental impact on the movie’s performance at the box office, resulting in numbers that are much lower than what was anticipated, even though the film is now declared as a major failure. Although the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer did not enjoy much attention prior to its release, people at least predicted it to…
The much-anticipated and highly promoted Ranbir Kapoor starrer, Shamshera, released a week ago under the direction of Karan Malhotra, also starring Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor. Unfortunately, the film did not get off to a great start, having opened to lukewarm reception. With its whopping 4350 screen release, the movie could not draw enough audiences and failed to set the box office on fire, with the lukewarm reviews and poor feedback from the viewers only worsening the situation. With this box office report, we take a look at the first week collections of Shamshera and how they compare to the…
The long-awaited film, Ek Villain Returns directed by Mohit Suri has kicked off to a decent start at the box office. According to initial estimates, the movie earned between Rs. 6.80 to 7.40 crores on its first day, with the attendance gradually increasing from one show to another. Early morning figures suggested an opening of Rs. 6 crores, but with more people flocking in to watch it in the afternoon, the opening day collections went up to the region of Rs. 7 crores. Before the trailer released, the industry was anticipating an opening collection of approximately Rs. 9 to 10…

It had been projected in this column that Ek Villain Returns would kick off with a collection of Rs. 6-8 crores and that’s precisely what transpired, with the first day figure arriving at Rs. 7.05 crores. Even pre-pandemic this would have been an acceptable amount, and in the current market scenario it can be termed as a very decent achievement. Considering the difficulties posed by the pandemic in persuading people to go to the theatres, this figure holds an enormous amount of value. What’s especially noteworthy is that most of the revenue has come from single screens and lower-priced multiplexes,…
