This weekend saw the release of up to a dozen films, but unfortunately none of them made an impression at the box office. Laal Kaptaan, starring Saif Ali Khan and produced by Aanand L. Rai and Eros Entertainment, was anticipated to have a promising box-office run on the basis of critical reviews and word-of-mouth. However, no such luck: it ended up as one of Saif Ali Khan’s worst openers in terms of Friday collections, comparable only to Chef and Kaalakaandi. Vikram Bhatt’s Ghost has certainly earned the filmmaker great credentials compared to other releases this weekend. Despite a few positive…
Anticipation ran high as the Hrithik Roshan – Tiger Shroff starrer War simultaneously hit both the domestic and international markets.

The collections of the film have achieved a monumental mark of Rs. 295.65 crores, implying that it is sure to cross the 300 Crore Club today. With Diwali right around the corner and lack of other releases, it is likely that people would flock in cinemas to catch War, if they go out for movies at all.…

The box office witnessed an awful weekend for new releases, as most of them bombed badly. Of these, Laal Kaptaan was particularly dismal and Saif Ali Khan’s career will see another film sinking under the Rs 10 crore lifetime mark – Chef, Kaalakaandi and now this. It’s unthinkable that such an esteemed actor has not been able to bring success, even with his best efforts to work across genres and prove himself in each production. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been rewarded with the same magnitude of results. Vikram Bhatt’s Ghost presented an original concept, but it wasn’t met with a great…
All the anticipation has come to fruition: War has exceeded expectations, proving itself with a blockbuster opening and subsequent domination at the box office. Now that it’s officially entered into the Rs 300 Crore Club, its achievement seems almost certain—the second week onward brought clear signs of victory, with little-to-no competition for its third week showing. Indeed, over the weekend, War was crowned triumphant. On Sunday, the film added a remarkable Rs. 6 crore to its collections, thus totalling to a huge Rs. 301.65 crores, signifying a triple century of prestige and glory! With four days remaining before Housefull 4…

We now take an insight into these figures. Australia box office 5,397 USD [Rs. 3.82 lacs] from 27 screens New Zealand box office 1,975 USD [Rs. 1.39 lacs] from 13 screens U.K…
Just days away is the long-awaited Housefull 4 – the upcoming holiday release by Bollywood that marks yet another success in what has already been an impressive season. This movie also highlights Akshay Kumar’s acting range, considering it follows his remarkable Mission Mangal that made its way into the coveted Rs. 200 Crore Club two months ago. It surely serves as a testament to his outstanding talent and dynamism! Even with the film’s debut coinciding with pre-Diwali, a good reception for this multi-starrer is anticipated. Had it been released after Diwali, India’s biggest day for films, one could well have…
The Diwali festivities are just around the corner and as it happens each year, there will be a few major film releases in line with this festive season – Housefull 4, Made In China, and Saand Ki Aankh. Unexpectedly however, the ticket rates for these movies have been fixed to match the prices of War which was recently released on October 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The War release saw immense buzz due to it being released on a national holiday that is Gandhi Jayanti. On the contrary, Housefull 4 isn’t releasing on a holiday but four days…
War continues to prove itself on Monday with a huge collection of Rs. 2.10 crores. Compared to all other Bollywood and Hollywood releases in theatres right now, War has collected almost double the amount, demonstrating its strong popularity in this otherwise sluggish pre-Diwali period. War has already earned a whopping Rs. 304 crores and is predicted to reach the staggering figure of Rs. 310 crores before the week’s end. While this star-studded cast consisting of Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff have undoubtedly brought about a success, the big question remains if it will be able to sustain itself with the…
