Satyameva Jayate 2 saw a decrease in viewership on Friday and ideally, with the opening of Rs. 3.60 crores that it had on Thursday, this number should have hovered around its vicinity. Yes, there was competition from Antim – The Final Truth but still there were enough screens available for it to go ahead and register adequate footfalls. With Rs. 2 crores earned on Friday, the overall total for Milap Zaveri’s Satyameva Jayate 2 stands at Rs. 5.6 crore rupees (1 USD = 64 Indian Rupee). One just hopes that viewership jumps up again today and the total goes past…

After much anticipation from fans of the original, Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2 starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji along with newcomers Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh finally made it to theatres earlier this month. But despite being paired up once again for a movie after many years – there was little interest for the upcoming flick amongst audiences. Despite releasing across 1800 screens in India, the film only collected Rs. 8.3 crore over its opening weekend before things slowed down considerably during weekdays where they’ve only been able to earn Rs. 3.2 crore in total so…
The awaited film Antim, starring Aayush Sharma and Salman Khan was released across 3,500 screens in India. Most of the showings of John Abraham’s movie Satyameva Jayate 2 were shared with Antim, but some theaters had screenings exclusively for one or both movies. Estimates from early box office reports indicate that it may have earned approximately Rs. 5-6 crore since its release yesterday morning. The best performing states so far are Maharashtra (home state to lead actor Aayush Sharma), Gujarat, and Bihar; while cinemas in the northern belt – including Delhi and Punjab – seem underwhelming. This might be explained…
Two big-budget Bollywood movies are coming out in close succession, one on Thursday and the other Friday. Both promos have a similar masala feel with a southern style of filmmaking and moreover have over-the-top drama, dialogues and action that appeal to the elite class. The good news is that both film leads have praised each other’s contributions to Indian cinema; you can see this through Salman Khan’s tweet about John Abraham or vice versa where they talked about how happy they were because their respective films will continue drawing people into theaters. This means there aren’t any hard feelings between…

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…
