Ek Villain Returns has managed to secure a lifetime collection of more than Rs. 40 crores in its first week alone, with Rs. 32.92 crores as the closing amount. This number could have been even more impressive if it had crossed Rs. 35 crores in its opening week as it would have put the film in contention to achieve the coveted Rs. 50 crores benchmark. However, the diminishing response in the weekdays have significantly hindered its progress. Although the movie has not performed particularly well, compared to other films with a similar budget, scale, and cast, Ek Villain Returns has…
John Abraham’s two-decade-long career has seen Ek Villain Returns become the 12th biggest success for him in its opening week. The movie was amongst his top ten first-day and opening weekend hits. Nevertheless, its collections failed to remain as steady during the weekdays and, consequently, were overtaken by Parmanu – The Story of Pokharan, Madras Cafe, and Romeo Akbar Walter. Incidentally, all three films in the list are John Abraham solo starrers. But what is really striking is the fact that five of these films are franchises, where he appears as a new character in the second installment. These films…
Following its debut in cinemas, it seemed as though it would be a challenge for Ek Villain Returns to make it past Rs. 45 crores. Fortunately, due to steady figures throughout the second weekend, director Mohit Suri has created a chance for the suspense-thriller to reach the Rs. 45 crore mark. With the box office figures surpassing the Rs. 9 crore mark on the opening Sunday, if the box office retention had been a bit higher, the film could very well have made it to the Rs. 50 crore mark. Even so, there was some reprieve, as the movie failed…
Aamir Khan’s highly anticipated return has stirred a fervent excitement in the industry with the opening of ticket sales for Laal Singh Chaddha on Friday. Despite the grand hype, the response so far has been only average, as the film has managed to acquire approximately 30,000 tickets across India and amass a total collection of Rs. 75 lakhs as of now. With just 48 hours to go, it is expected that Laal Singh Chaddha will rake in a whopping Rs. 5 crore advance across India on the first day alone. Over the weekend, advance booking numbers are expected to hit…
Akshay Kumar is returning to the silver screen with the Aanand L Rai-directed Raksha Bandhan. On Friday, the advance ticket sales for this family drama kicked off, with the movie having sold a whopping 18,000 tickets all over India and generating an opening day advance of approximately Rs. 35 lakhs. Out of 18,000 tickets, nearly 9,000 have been bought from three of the major theatre chains in India, namely PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. The remaining 50 percent were purchased from non-national chains. Due to its title – Raksha Bandhan – it is anticipated that the movie will be the preferred…
Raksha Bandhan has seen sluggish ticket sales when it comes to advance bookings, with figures lower than even Samrat Prithviraj’s. Nevertheless, this is nothing to be concerned about as Akshay Kumar movies usually tend to see a dip in initial bookings but eventually manage to cover up with the spot bookings. Raksha Bandhan looks to be in for an average opening at the box office, akin to a typical Akshay Kumar film, thanks to some spot bookings, mostly driven by its timeliness with the celebratory season of Raksha Bandhan. While a lower spot sale will spell disaster for the movie,…

At last, the day of reckoning has arrived for Bollywood films in this year. It has been a considerable amount of time since a Hindi movie opened to great success. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a long while back, and the only two films that had opened to double digit figures were Bachchan Paandey and Shamshera. In truth, it appears as though having an opening of Rs 20 crores and above has become a thing of the past, the last movie to have achieved this being Sooryavanshi (Rs 26.29 crores), which was released for Diwali 2021. The highly-anticipated releases of Akshay’s…

In terms of India-wide ticket sales, Laal Singh Chaddha has accumulated an estimated 57,000 tickets for its opening day. However, it appears that the buzz around the movie has yet to create any momentum in terms of ticket sales. When contrasted to the opening-day T-1 collections of…
Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, helmed by Advait Chandan, has generated much hype leading up to its release. As a remake of the iconic Forrest Gump, people have been abuzz about the prospect of experiencing the story on the big screen.
