Last Friday, the Gujarati movie Fakt Mahilao Maate, starring Amitabh Bachchan was released. Despite limited promotion and being up against the big Bollywood release Do Baaraa, this regional production has made quite an impact. Audiences have given it positive feedback and its box-office collection is steadily increasing in both domestic and overseas markets. All signs point to this small-budget flick turning out to be a surprising hit. Much to everyone’s surprise, Fakt Mahilao Maate proved a success in the North American box office with an impressive Rs. 26.80 lakhs being earned from its opening weekend! This can be attributed to…
Last week saw the release of Karthikeya 2, the sequel to Chandoo Mondeti’s 2014 Telugu film, starring Nikhil Siddhartha, Anupama Parameswaran and Anupam Kher. It was met with positive reviews from its audience. Business-wise, it has experienced an increase in growth due to the lackluster performance of more mainstream films in recent times. Notably, it is also doing surprisingly well abroad in international markets. Last Friday saw the release of Karthikeya 2, which in its opening weekend at the North American box office managed to make an impressive collection of Rs. 8.03 cr. This amount came from 120 screens across…
After much anticipation, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha made its grand debut on Thursday, August 11. Advait Chandan was at the helm of directing this film based on Atul Kulkarni’s script, and also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan. The publicity leading up to the release created quite a stir, but unfortunately did not help it fare well with viewers and reviews. Despite an ambitious start, Laal Singh Chaddha faced difficulty bringing in high revenues as a result of less-than-ideal word of mouth among audiences. As opposed to its performance in the Indian market, Laal Singh Chaddha had a better response overseas.…

USD], Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 [5.88 mil. USD] and The Kashmir Files [5.7 mil. USD]…
It’s amazing to witness the polar opposite performances of two films at the box office. Despite being announced with little fanfare, a relatively unknown lead actor, and little reach amongst potential viewers, one movie is resonating widely with audiences. Contrastingly, the other movie was perfectly crafted for its intended demographic, yet it’s not quite making a splash as expected. Just a few days ago, Karthikeya 2 was a relatively unknown movie; yet it has quickly become one of the top picks this season, having earned 16.30 crore rupees within ten days in theaters. Even on Monday, it earned an impressive…
