On Thursday, the much anticipated Telugu movie starring Vijay Deverakonda, Liger was released to audiences. Although it made a grand opening with approximately Rs. 17 crores gross collection (+2 crore from Hindi paid previews), reviews were disappointing as its South Indian market has seen one of the most drastic collapses ever witnessed. Our tracking showed that on the second day, it brought in between Rs. 4.10 to 4.40 crores making its total earnings around Rs. 21 crore and beyond. The movie’s box office intake within two days in the Telugu regions amounts to Rs. 11 crore, and it is projected…
Yesterday saw the highly-anticipated debut of the Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday collaboration, Liger, in cinemas. Early signs from international markets indicated that it had started off on a positive footing; however, reports for day two’s box office figures seem to have dampened any enthusiasm, with certain areas even experiencing a decrease in ticket sales. Liger saw a massive dip in their overseas business in Australia, falling by an alarming 61.74% and bringing in just USD 21,961 [Rs. 17.55 lakhs] across 60 screens on its second day compared to its first day performance. In New Zealand however, the situation was…
In 2023, Liger (Hindi) managed to make a start in the film industry which is currently facing its biggest challenge yet: films not being able to open at all. Despite its merit, most films have only been able to reach up to 25% of the pre-pandemic openings, usually crashing on their second day unless it has stars involved or enough hype built up around them. Unfortunately, even this meager starting point had disappeared in 2023. Even with a launch of Rs. 4.5 crore, Karan Johar Production should be content as it is comparable to pre-2020 figures, keeping in mind the…
Saturday proved to be a dull day at the box office for Vijay Deverakonda’s Pan-India film debut, Liger. Early estimations reveal that the total collection of the movie has now reached Rs. 10.25 crores, as it saw a slight growth with earnings of between Rs. 4.10 and Rs 4.50 crores on this particular day. It is important to note that prior to this, the film had made Rs 1.25 crores through paid previews, followed by Rs 4.50 crores on its opening Friday. Movie viewership is heavily influenced by both the youth and the masses. Unfortunately, the less-than-positive reactions from viewers…
Fakt Mahilao Maate, a Gujarati film, has been faring quite well at the box office. After it was released on Janmashtami and being shown in 300 properties with 1300 daily screenings, the movie garnered a huge 1.34 cr. on its opening day itself. And over the following weekend, there was an even greater number of patrons patronizing this flick! Drawing an impressive Rs. 4.66 cr. over its opening weekend, Fakt Mahilao Maate sustained itself by hovering in the range of Rs. 42-50 lakhs during weekdays, enabling it to accrue another Rs. 1.91 cr., eventually amounting to a total of Rs.…
Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey, premiered on Friday, but it hasn’t been well-received by the audience despite its intensive promotion. Similarly, at the box office Liger has had a turbulent time; some areas have shown progress with daily growth in profits whereas other regions have observed a gradual decline. With this report, we are assessing the success of Liger in Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, its second day takings saw a decrease of 61%. Surprisingly though, it did accumulate an impressive USD 15,156 [Rs. 12.12 lakhs] from just 55 screens on Saturday. Unsurprisingly however, this revenue took yet…
Vijay Deverakonda’s movie ‘Liger’ witnessed another significant decline in collections on Saturday at the South Indian box office. After its initial collection of Rs. 17 crores, the film took a hit of more than 75% and collected only Rs. 4.25 crores on Friday and has now declined by 30% further with estimates suggesting its third-day earning to be around Rs. 3.25 crores taking the gross total of Liger in South India to Rs 24.50 crores. The South Indian rights were sold for a sum of Rs 70 crore, out of which 60 crore was taken up by Telugu states alone.…
Liger [Hindi] had a fairly average day on Saturday; the turnout was decreased but only to a small degree, generating a box office revenue of 4.25 crores*. Although this figure wasn’t necessarily predicted prior to its release, the steady climb of success experienced by the Telugu version gave way to this slight decrease in attendance. After collecting Rs. 10 crores (including a paid preview of Rs. 1.25 crores), the Vijay Deverakonda starrer action film has not achieved the ideal collections of Rs. 12 crores that it required in order to take a chance at earning around Rs. 40-50 crores in…
Karan Johar, Puri Jagannadh and Charmme Kaur teamed up to produce the movie Liger which released in theatres on August 25th. Charmme recently discussed her views on the success of films at the box office. She suggested that given the surplus of accessible content for viewers, film creators should strive to make motion pictures that attract them enough to visit cinemas. To illustrate her point she highlighted how movies like Kartikeya 2, Sita Ramam, and Bimbisara achieved commercial success. While discussing this with the Free Press Journal, Charmme Kaur commented, “With the click of a button, families can enjoy top-of-the-line…
Last week, the much-anticipated Vijay Deverakonda – Ananya Panday collaboration ‘Liger’ made its release, though it was received with tepid response from audiences. To everyone’s disappointment, even in the Telugu territories where it had great expectations for huge profits, the movie has failed to show promise at the domestic box office. Surprisingly, despite all this it has performed reasonably well in overseas markets. On its opening weekend in the U.S.A alone, Liger had raked in USD 7,02,046 [Rs. 5.62 cr.] at the box office, setting the stage for a fruitful international run. It enjoyed a phenomenal response in markets such…
