With Christmas now behind us and the new year approaching, both Sooryavanshi and Bunty Aur Babli 2 experienced a significant decrease in box office numbers. For Sooryavanshi this isn’t surprising given that it’s third consecutive week at the cinema while Bunty Aur Babli 2 had a chance to succeed with its first weekend but unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. Given the lack of success from these two films, many people think that we’ll see less Hindi movies opening next year. Regardless of what happens next, this holiday season has left some very clear winners such as Akshay Kumar whose…
On Diwali day, the spectacular movie Sooryvanshi released nationwide and became one of the most popular movies ever made. Despite the hype around this expensive blockbuster film, it managed to collect Rs. 180.47 crore by Monday November 22nd – even with pandemic restrictions set in place; fans and critics alike wonder if it will break its own record by surpassing 200 crores! To find out what traders think about these things we talked to them. Taran Adarsh, an analyst for trade analysis said, It’s a bit too early right now. It depends on many factors. For example, it is doing…
Recently released Bunty Aur Babli 2 starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji attracted an underwhelming response at the ticket window during its opening weekend. The film’s low box office prospects were further dampened by less-than-enthusiastic reviews, while Sooryavanshi – another recent release – benefited hugely from ecstatic feedback. However, despite poor word of mouth and scathing reviews, Bunty Aur Babli 2 managed to earn Rs 2 crores in just one Middle Eastern country; the United Arab Emirates (UAE). As opposed to this UAE success story, Sooryavanshi collected a mere Rs 84 lakhs over the same period; despite featuring popular…
This month, Akshay Kumar’s latest movie Sooryavanshi debuted to an enthusiastic response from audiences around the world. Despite opening on a slightly disappointing note, it still had plenty of viewers who have continued watching it over the last few weeks and generated good sales in both the domestic and foreign markets over its first weekend. Seventeen days after release, Sooryavanshi has been able to earn Rs. 270 cr ($43 million) all together at the global box office- with most of that coming domestically (Rs. 212.61 cr). While only about half came from international ticket sales (Rs. 57.65 cro), it still…
Sooryavanshi directed by Rohit Shetty, has been unstoppable at the box office since its release about two weeks ago. After opening with a bang – the business of this movie had seen incredible growth over its first few days and opened at number 1 for 2 consecutive weekends. Consequently, it stayed on top for 3 consecutive weekends showing almost no signs of slowing down. As said before, it was now Akshay Kumar’s highest grossing movie ever which means he can’t be stopped! In this review of the box office successes in Mumbai for Sooryavanshi, we’ll compare it with Akshay Kumar’s…
Though Bunty Aur Babli 2 showed better cumulative performance throughout the three days – even making it to Rs. 180 crores before ending at Rs. 178.60 crores- Sooryavanshi has beaten BAB2 in terms of revenue generated per day with a higher figure for Sunday than Saturday (Rs 5.33 crore vs Rs 3.20 crore). Although adding just about 7% revenue over its lifetime earnings till date, this was enough encouragement for Akshay Kumar’s latest release to edge closer to the important target of becoming an addition to India’s exclusive club of films that grossed more than Rs 200 crores ($30 million).…
Just a few days ago, Bollywood Hungama had predicted that Sooryavanshi- which has been doing fantastic in the box office up until this point- would set new records for Akshay Kumar. In fact, we had previously predicted that this Rohit Shetty film could make around 11-12 crores by the end of its third weekend to become one of Mr. Kumar’s most successful films up until now. Collecting Rs. 12.36 crore, Sooryavanshi has surpassed the earnings of Akshay Kumar’s previous released films such as Mission Mangal which earned Rs. 9.09 crore, Good News which earned Rs. 8.73 crores, Airlift which earnt…
This month, Akshay Kumar starred in Sooryvanshi. The film was met with overwhelming success when it was released, with mixed reviews yet a large portion of the public appreciating its work. In international markets too, it seems to be doing really well, having been screened across 1,300 screens. As of now it has made approximately Rs 63 crores or $7.59 million USD which is considerably high for an opening weekend at overseas markets. Day 1 – 1.08 mil. USD [Rs. 8.10 cr.]Day 2 – 1.15 mil. USD [Rs. 8.53 cr.]Day 3 – 1.06 mil. USD [Rs. 7.85 cr.]Day 4 -…
After a low first day of just RS. 2.60 crores, need of the hour for Bunty Aur Babli 2 was to show a remarkable turnaround on Saturday. In fact if it were to have any chance at making some sort of impression at the box office in the long run then it needed earning in Rs. 4-5 crores range, the one which was actually expected on the opening day itself. Well, after a disappointing Friday, things didn’t turn out to be any better on Saturday with collections continuing to stay low. The footfalls were just on the same lines and…
Friday saw the release of the Saif Ali Khan- Rani Mukerji starrer Bunty Aur Babli 2. The film had been in production for a long time and was anticipated to do well. Well, it did not meet expectations at all! With 500 screens domestically versus 700 internationally, there’s no question why this movie fell flat on its face almost instantly upon its release. There weren’t even any positive reviews which made sure that audiences wouldn’t want to see it either! On Day 1, audience turnout was poor (possibly due to being a Friday) but Day 2 wasn’t much better with…
