The latest Bollywood talk is no longer just about the South versus Bollywood rivalry, but more focused on the performance of high-cost Hindi films. When August’s big releases Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha hit theatres, they were expected to make a great impact at the box office. Sadly, these films failed to impress their audience. On the other hand, movies such as Pushpa and RRR did exceptionally well not only in terms of ticket sales but also have earned a tremendous reception through OTT platforms. Veteran film director Prakash Jha put forth his take on this by mentioning that…
At the outset, Karthikeya 2’s Hindi-dubbed version recorded a modest collection of Rs. 7 lakhs on its debut day; however, it has been nothing short of a miracle in terms of financial returns ever since – so much so that four weeks into its release, the movie has now crossed the Rs. 28.50 crore mark! Indeed, this achievement is extraordinary and would continue to remain remarkable for years to come as such marvels are extremely rare in cinematic history. Nevertheless, the sheer longevity of Karthikeya 2 continues to reap dividends for everyone involved. After the pandemic, audiences have become much…

Two years ago, Aamir Khan – famously known as Bollywood’s ‘Perfectionist Khan’ – developed a unique formula to determine the success of any movie. According to him, one needs to observe the opening weekend figures and compare it with the total collection. For example, 3 Idiots grossed Rs. 40 crores in its first weekend and Rs. 202 crores throughout its entire run; hence, if the ratio of opening weekend earnings divided by total income yields a 5x or higher result, then that film has been widely accepted. Conversely, he said “If a movie makes 100 crores within three days and…

However, it has resulted in a sharp decline of screens and shows for these films that had seen success up until now; leaving the production team (Ekta Kapoor and Sajid Nadiadwala) somewhat dejected due to an abridged run ahead of them.
