Kabir Khan’s 83 didn’t do well with audiences and critics alike, but what was it about? Critics loved the movie but viewers left feeling unsatisfied. The 3-hour-long film only raked in Rs.105 crore ($14 million) at the end of week 5 – a mere 6% from its total worldwide earnings of $143 million during its theatrical run according to Box Office Mojo. Dubbed in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam for South Indian audiences – these versions only made up for 5% of its earnings outside India whereas Hindi made up for 44%. This discrepancy is something worth looking into…
The recently translated South Indian movie Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1 has garnered massive attention at the box office. Proving to be one of the most profitable movies so far this year, people have come in droves to see it while also getting good reviews from audiences and critics alike. In truth, Pushpa still runs successfully in theaters, giving many moviegoers no other option than to come back for more (which would often mean changing when their release date). Perhaps a first for Lead Actors Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna – who just can’t seem to get enough? With…
Last December we had seen the release of Pushpa: The Rise—Part 1, starring actor Allu Arjun. Lasting since then and dubbed in Hindi, this South Indian film has been performing well up until now; its performance only grew stronger over time as it slowly gained traction week-over-week. Until finally it managed to reach a new benchmark of success worth celebrating at 100 crores or more. Crossing 100 crores in 45 days, Pushpa has now become the fifth fastest South Indian Hindi dubbed movie to achieve this milestone. The leading runners-up include Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 128 crore), which…
The Allu Arjun film Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1 that was first released last year on December 31st- had, after lukewarm reception at the theaters upon release, risen exponentially in popularity when it reached its second and third week. Proving to be a strong contender amongst other films this season, it soon after surpassed even one hundred crore rupees (Rs. 100 cr.) worth of earnings! This article will compare the earnings of Pushpa: The Rise with other South Indian Hindi dubbed movies. So far, it has grossed over $100 million USD which makes it rank 5th among all other…
Despite releasing just last month, Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1 has been able to continually run successfully. As it steadily made progress in the box office race, it became known for being one of the best-selling films of this year– and still is! Even with its extravagant release, there are still people coming out every day to watch Pushpa; including over 700 thousand during week 7 alone! Despite the Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise being released earlier this month, it continues to do great business and earn a lot of revenue at theaters. On its seventh week alone…
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film starring Alia Bhatt, Gangubai Kathiawadi was one of the most successful films to hit theaters this year. Opening on a positive note, which was only built from there as it went strong for two weeks consecutively, now with its second weekend approaching, it shows no signs of slowing down either. In this box office report, we take a look at the second-weekend collections of Gangubai Kathiawadi while comparing the same to previously released female-centric films. Collecting Rs. 23.29 cr Gangubai Kathiawadi surpasses the Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi that had collected…
Having released to impressive numbers for Alia Bhatt, Raazi was able to accumulate Rs. 123.84 crores during its entire lifetime run – an accomplishment it easily overshadowed when put up against films such as Meghna Gulzar’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, of which initial expectations were low – thus holding onto a strong touch-and-go presence since the very first Women’s Day screening on March 8th (to what would eventually amount to a whopping Rs. 104 crore). It seems as though things are only beginning, too; with good showings early Wednesday and Thursday afternoon signaling the end of a successful first week which saw…
A blockbuster movie called Pushpa will come to an end soon because it has earned Rs. 108.5 crores total so far. But Gangubai Kathiawadi will continue its climb up the charts, earning even more than that within the next few days, if not this coming Sunday or by Friday’s film release date for that matter. Not only does it have a chance of exceeding those numbers, but Gangubai Kathiawadi is also expected to make over what was made from Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi (Rs 73.3 Cr) in less than two weeks worth of time since release. This can…
Actor Akshay Kumar is getting ready to release his latest film Bachchhan Paandey co-starring Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi, and Jacqueline Fernandez. Recently at a press conference of the new movie, Akshay spoke with the media about what he had planned next and how difficult it was to deliver films that would make money. When asked if there was ever any pressure when making decisions, Akkhays said I try not to put too much pressure on myself. I just want to live life without feeling too stressed or worried all the time. He also talked about hoping each of his movies…
Let us start this story with some good news. With multiple movies competing for awards, viewers are given many options to make decisions from when it comes to what they want see. The Kashmir Files is a grounded drama while Radhe Shyam offers fantasy. If Gangubai Kathiawadi is an all-too-realistic account of one woman’s life then Batman is just escapism fable. Because of this variety in viewing experiences, the number of people who go out and attend screenings has increased dramatically in recent weeks. A new and mysterious video created curiosity among people worldwide. What made it all the more…
