Not more than 25% of the screens in the country are currently operational which means there is barely anything for people to watch at cinemas these days. There’s only 3 movies playing – Pushpa, 83 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. This was not what we wanted, it looked like things were going well during November and December but now we’re back to square one once again. As a result, the effect has been seen on films like Pushpa too; its Hindi version saw an inevitable decline. The film had been doing fairly well for over three weeks and yet, when…
It came, it surprised and left quite an impression. That may very well be how we would describe the movie hit-film Pushpa (Hindi) which has now completed four weeks at the box office. The film thrived from success to success for the first three weeks and made us all excited about what kind of euphoric feeling this will bring to those who do want to see it at the single screens. But then, theatres shut down once again so suddenly in its fourth week – with that happening, there was a sudden decline in people coming over during its final…
The Ranveer Singh starrer 83, directed by Kabir Khan released a while back but after taking off on a flying note, business slowed down. Movies are usually popular in the big cities but not so much anywhere else. This hurt the movie even more because only 3 weeks had passed since it came out and the money was already starting to run dry. But now 83 has managed to collect few additional crore rupees which was then an immense relief for them. Reaching the cumulative of Rs. 5.27 crore in its third week, the total earnings of ’83’ has reached…
83 is now the second Hindi release of this year to hit a hundred crore at the box office. They were followed by Sooryavanshi which ended its run after two decades and collected Rs. 196 crores so far. This weekend 83 passed the Rs. 100 crore mark with an accumulative worth of over Rs. 110 crore – but they had been gaining speed even before then, consistently doing well since their initial opening weekend (Rs=1.47 crores). Unfortunately, 83 is just shy of crossing one billion in revenue- when considered together for all languages including Tamil and Telugu dubs Bollywood’s box…
83 has been doing poorly at the box office and recent revenues have been less than one million rupees. It may drop below this number today if revenue does not improve, because only Rs. 1.12 crore was earned yesterday of which many places in different states have stopped showing movies altogether or cut off show times to 12 am instead of 9 pm. The current situation is dismal; no matter how hard I try, there are barely any people who want to watch my film, let alone pay money for it when these factors take hold of everything else. It…
Kabir Khan directed, Ranveer Singh starring 83, released on December 24th for the Christmas season just weeks before. With two years of anticipation and buildup due to its story portraying India’s 1983 World Cup win against West Indies, it was an eagerly awaited film. The release had excited critics who praised it and predicted great success financially. Yet after only a week in theaters 83 is one of the lowest-grossing films ever made by an Indian director – less than $10 million domestically so far according to Business Insider – despite being a hit elsewhere including overseas where it grossed…
Today, Ranveer Singh’s 83 enters the Rs 100 Crore Club. Yesterday, it managed to bring in Rs. 1.29 crore – which is just shy of the one-crore mark that it made on Friday. As such, a 35% increase from previous days looks really promising but with this being at a low number, we’ll take it with a grain of salt. The film has now brought in 999 crores across all languages – thanks largely to what was received from its dubbed south versions (around 5 crores). If not for these contributions, the century would’ve come much later; maybe even touch…
Late Sushant Singh Rajput’s latest movie Chhichhore, which was released in India back in 2019, only opened last week in China. The ensemble cast has done an average job so far at the Chinese box office- it currently sits tenth on the charts for this past weekend. The late Sushant Singh Rajput – Shraddha Kapoor starrer director Nitesh Tiwari made around $1.70 Million (Rs. 12 Crores) when it opened up back home here in Indian territory earlier this year- actually it made 153 Crores while it was open over there?
The movie Pushpa had earned 8 crore rupees during the weekend. This would have been an excellent earnings report for the first week, but due to its popularity people are still going to see it even after four weeks. On Sunday alone 3.8 crore were made and that put the total at 80 crore rupees which is a lot for just one week of showings. The Allu Arjun starrer has performed extraordinarily well from the first day of release and continues to do so for 24 days now. Word about this action drama has been spreading like wildfire and it’s…
Kabir Khan’s newest release 83, starring Ranveer Singh who plays Kapil Dev, has received rave reviews and commercial success after just one month. With its budget of Rs. 123 crores ($ 17 million), the film has collected more than Rs. 100 crores ($ 13 million) at the box office – thus making it the 93rd Indian movie to do so. It only took two weeks for the movie to surpass this milestone- but that isn’t even what is impressive about this accomplishment! What makes it different from other movies? Six out of eight were directed by Kabir Khan (with three…
