Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiwari’s booming success at the box office is unsurprising, given that they beat out others to be number one 2 years ago. This doesn’t only speak volumes about their talent but also indicates that there are new challenges facing cinema- including managing film budgets to account for an unexpected dip in revenue. Though past successes suggest we’re headed back in a positive direction, it’ll take time for cinema to fully recover from what brought them down. Given these challenges, we can all revel in how this excellent triumph signals an optimistic future for…

When the first previews started for Amitabh Bachchan and Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund, people began to talk about it at length. As if it were happening before the pandemic took over – high profile movies had celebrity and media screenings where news would travel far and wide on social media through coverage. So, it wasn’t surprising when some big names supported the film just from what they had seen in previews alone. Although this is unlikely to happen, many people hope it does. Reviews for this movie so far have been mostly positive, and most of them range from just okay…

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt was released last week and has been making money ever since. After an initial impressive start, audiences were flocking to theaters all across India for this movie during its opening weekend. Despite there being few hits in recent weeks for cinema-goers to choose from, Gangubai Kathiawadi still managed to make a whopping Rs. 68.93 crores domestically after one week in theaters. In this box office report we take a look at how Gangubai Kathiawadi fared in different territories while breaking the same down based on geographical regions. We…

With a distinctive local flavor to it, Amitabh Bachchan starred Jhund saw better collections on Saturday as Rs. 2.10 crores came in. Of course, a large part of this number has come from the state of Maharashtra and that was anticipated too because of its heavy localized appeal. In fact, without Amitabh Bachchan leading the charge, even these numbers would have been difficult to reach; let alone thinking about finding an audience outside Maharashtra given how restricted this film is when it comes down to who will see it – considering how there are only slums depicted throughout which cuts…

Nepotism, negativity, ‘no-shows’ – so many things had been said about Gangubai Kathiawadi before its release. If the movie is working well today, it is because of two reasons: One being good content thanks to Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and another one being Alia Bhatt’s excellent performance. Adding to this are the resourcefulness shown by producer Jayantilal Gada who wanted to distribute the film all across India despite theatre occupancy/curfew related restrictions; thus setting everything up for it to perform even better than expected! Nepotism, negativity, ‘no-shows’ – so many things had been said about Gangubai Kathiawadi before its release.…

Last week, the new film starring actor-writer-producer Alia Bhatt was released. Reviews for the film were mainly positive and within its first two days of release, it had already exceeded expectations at the box office – resulting in a good upward turn in profits. By the end of its first weekend, with further day one admissions from people who had not seen it yet combined with those who enjoyed it enough to watch again made up for what business may have diminished elsewhere because of stricter pandemic restrictions than before. Today, Gangubai Kathiawadi has earned over Rs. 101 crores (approx…

The Alia Bhatt-starring film Gangubai Kathiawadi has been in high demand since it was released last week. This was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and has had strong weekday ticket sales ever since its premiere, due to the movie being well-reviewed and receiving good feedback from audiences. It seems it may even come close to challenging an early prediction as the best opening weekend grossing film of this year which, up until now, is currently held by Badhai Dee. The few movies released so far for this new year are hardly doing well at all – but given the recent…

It may have been the sixth day for Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi but it also led to a decrease of more than 50% when compared to Friday (Rs. 10.50 crores). What makes this even more astonishing is that fortunately, the film did not suffer much from the drop- just yet at least -and will most likely score well on its second weekend too. If we take into account the release of Amitabh Bachchan’s Jhund next week, as well as Robert Pattinson’s The Batman – which will both first make an appearance tomorrow- Gangubai Kathiawadi could soon…

Well, we can’t say we’re not excited for the first big movie this year. Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali had opened recently, attracting tons of attention for its high viewership. It seems like people are pleased with it so far because according to recent reports- over 6 crore rupees have been made from ticket sales alone! Even more impressive is the fact that these numbers haven’t dropped even after a week! On Friday, about 10 million was made while on Thursday; 5 million rupees were earned which means that despite lower earnings on Sunday than Monday…
