And after much promotion, it has been receiving good reviews from critics since its release and now has garnered worldwide attention. The film was released across 460 screens in overseas markets on Wednesday – or what would turn out to be day six of its theatrical run – and earned an estimated $2 million dollars over the course of opening night screenings alone!

Early estimates say that Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior had a strong hold when it came to collections on Monday, collecting between Rs. 11.5-13.5 crores (between $1.8-$2.3 million USD) over the four days since its release; according to reports from nationwide chains such as PVR, INOX, Cinepolis and Carnival Cinema which are still neck in neck with Saturday’s numbers for film revenue. This latest action film featuring Ajay Devgn, directed by Om Raut is on track to break box office records and it’s looking very likely that it will reach the 100 crore benchmark during its opening week of release. Ticket…

The highly talked about, eagerly awaited release of Chhapaak happened this Tuesday on international cinema screens. With an all-star cast that includes Deepika Padukone, the film tells the true story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. After much promotion and hype surrounding it, the film was met with praise from critics all over when it came out; in this review, we’ll take a look at how well its opening did internationally–from Monday through Friday–and come up with an overall rating for its day five performance abroad.

For an acclaimed actor like Chhapaak, it was a weak start for this film with only Rs. 2.35 crores coming in on Monday; after getting off to a good start at the box office with Friday’s collection of Rs. 4.77 crores which also brought down from Thursday’s collection of Rs. 5 crores as well as Wednesday’s collection of Rs. 6 crore- which itself saw a considerable drop from Tuesday’s record high audience turnout of 8 lakhs rupees collected (Rs 6 crore). Ideally, the Meghna Gulzar-directed movie needs to make at least 3 rupees more every day than it did yesterday…
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior had a very good Monday as it held up really well to collect Rs. 13.75 crores more at the box office. Considering the fact that Friday was Rs. 15.10 crores, which means that not many people went out for Lohri considering how only some regions were celebrating (considering this was partially a national holiday. In reality, given the popularity that the film is enjoying, it would be safe to assume that even without a partial holiday a double digit score would have still come calling. That would’ve been quite a feat for Ajay Devgn’s latest blockbuster…
After last week’s successful debut, it would seem that Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior will only continue to grow stronger. As each day passes there seem to be higher levels of profit coming in, and every day is surpassing the previous by an even larger amount. On Monday alone, there were Rs. 13.75 crore worth of tickets sold when Friday had been at about Rs. 15 crores worth of sales; surely a good sign for the film industry as a whole! Tuesday has not disappointed either with another Rs. 1 crore added on to that bringing its total so far…
Although collections for the film stayed low on Thursday, coming in at just under 50% of the movie’s earnings from Sunday, it remained steady. On Monday, collections were Rs. 8.10 crores whereas earnings from Wednesday came to Rs. 4.77 crores- an unsurprising but still promising holdover period for an edge-of-your-seat thriller like this one. As of now, the film has collected an incredible amount and by the end of its second week will cross over Rs 180 crore ($20 million). Given how quickly this movie has made its way up to $200 million in box office sales, it’s truly a…
Good News enjoyed an excellent Tuesday as Rs. 5.04 crores came in. The film has hardly fallen from its Monday collections of Rs. 5.40 crores which is certainly a great accomplishment. For a blockbuster like this to keep numbers above the Rs.5 crores mark even on weekdays during the second week is astonishing because few films manage to reach these levels and persevere against all odds. In fact, now it can be said that Wednesday and Thursday would stay at over the Rss 4 crores mark, which means only days will contribute around 18-20 crores*. Even though there are other…
Good News continues its ascent into the Rs. 200 Crore Club. It made another Rs. 3.60 crores on Sunday, a 20% increase from Saturday’s Rs. 3.06 crores profit. Though it had been predicted that it would reach the four crore-mark today, there was still some stiff competition form Taraji P Henson’s new release Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior which may have slowed down this process just slightly for director Raj Mehta’s project. Nevertheless, this movie is still drawing crowds and has been doing so quite well so far. Its accumulated earnings are Rs. 190.09 crores so far – but it…
