After bringing in Rs. 2.07 crores on Friday, Good Newwz showed an increase of nearly 50% on Saturday to collect Rs. 3.06 crores at the box office! Though the number seems great on a relative scale, it was expected for the movie to do much better and surpass the 3.50 crores mark – especially since it is playing so well in theaters nationwide.

For example, Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, Chhapaak and Darbar all came out in theaters…

It was predicted in this column that Chhapaak will take an opening in the range of Rs. 5-7 crores. This is what happened as Rs. 4.77 crores came on the first day. Though this is on the lower side of the range, the numbers are still there for the film which belongs to a genre which doesn’t offer conventional entertainment and offers something different than regular movies do. The film was meant to find audiences primarily at major multiplexes at urban centers; and it did so too, which comes as no surprise given how underrated offbeat films tend to be…
The beginning of 2020 has been very pleasant for me so far. On the opening day of Ajay Devgan’s film Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, total earnings were much higher than expected – Rs 15.1 crores.

The movie is steadily moving away from the competition and will continue doing so because it has been critically acclaimed by its viewers. Audiences are anticipating a unique experience, which they anticipate will lead them to movie theaters.…

In this column, it was predicted that Street Dancer 3D would open in Rs. 15-18 crores range. Of course, ABCD – Any Body Can Dance 2 (2015) had opened at around the same price point five years ago and people were expecting for better numbers from the newest iteration by Remo D’Souza. However, contrary to expectations, the film only managed Rs. 10.26 crores on its first day release.
