As of this time, it appears that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has collected at least 18.25 crore rupees (roughly $2 million) on its second day in theaters so far; and approximately 32 crores ($4.5 million) over the course of two days thus far. Interesting to note is how steadily viewers have responded with a nearly 40% increase across both days combined – indicating definite audience interest despite many reservations beforehand. As expected there was considerable success in Mumbai, where theater showings reached levels above 70% occupancy by Saturday night – considered one of the higher occupancies for recent releases. Although the…
Dhaakad, starring Kangana Ranaut, released in theaters worldwide on Friday, including across 300+ screens overseas. Despite heavy promotion and being reviewed favorably, the film’s pre-release buzz was lackluster at best – which followed through to its opening weekend performance outside of India where it collected only Rs. 22,022 on its first day. At home in India, Dhaakad was unable to maintain ticket sales or find an audience for two reasons: one there were too many other new releases for similar demographics; secondly because people could easily pirate copies online if they wanted free entertainment instead of paying theater prices -…
Yesterday, Bollywood blockbuster Dhaakad – starring actress Kajana Ranaut – finally hit theaters overseas. After the release of over 300+ screens world-wide, the film was met with reviews that were anything but kind and buzz that came from those who watched it next to nonexistent. The only thing going for this movie so far is its success in India where it managed to collect 2 Crores on opening weekend alone. After tracking Dhaakad’s performance abroad on Day 1, let’s take a closer look at how foreign audiences reacted to some of the other cinematic offerings competing against it for top…
Rumors of Bhool Bhulaiyaa2 began circling among filmmakers in early 2019 after Kartik Aaryan accepted the role. For many, the future success of this project would be difficult without meeting expectations because its predecessor was so successful. Three years later, more than fulfilling personal obligations for the franchise, a larger burden weighed on him as he began making promises to revitalize Indian cinema altogether. What started as an ordinary sequel now held greater significance and propelled Kartik Aaryan to take ownership of his work by delivering big. As he did- surpassing expectations with £14 million in gross earnings on its…
The much-talked-about and heavily anticipated new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released two weeks ago. As an action-packed blockbuster, it had been given high expectations which it did live up to for most of its time – after all, advance ticket sales were available a month ahead of time! However, things began slowing down on the first Monday when it came out. Despite this being considered one of the worst openings in Marvel history, there are still some people who went to see it that week because they knew what to expect and just wanted to…
Yesterday morning, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 – starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani – opened in theaters to a positive response from both critics and audience members alike. With advanced ticket purchases making up close to 50% of the total ticket sales on opening day, it seems that audiences are just as excited about this film as they were with its predecessor after watching trailers or reading reviews. In this review of theatrical performances for the week, we examine how Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 – one released in 2022 – fared compared to films from that year. Collecting 14.11 crore rupees on…
While there are many factors that go into making up the success or failure of a movie – such as promotion and marketing, one contributing factor could be competition from another film. Case in point – the failure of Runway 34 which opened to low attendance numbers might have been due to it having difficulty competing against KGF – Chapter 2 which was doing really well at theaters around this time period. After a much hyped three-week opening, the collections for Runway 34 have been disappointing. The latest earnings report shows an additional Rs. 2.97 crores grossed in week 3…

After experiencing the apocalypse, many people were struggling…
There is only one major theatre showing this film in my city and even then it isn’t doing very well. It just opened last week on Friday but already made about $3.25 million after a slow start; though sadly, it won’t do much better than that despite being advertised relentlessly before its release. With just $12 million coming from its opening weekend, this movie won’t bring in many people – even though Ranveer Singh stars in it. As of now, I’m still going to show this movie if someone decides they want to see it; but with the numbers not…
The latest Kartik Aaryan movie, Bhoolbhulaiyaa 2 was released yesterday under the direction of the renowned Bollywood director Anees Bazmee. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani and has been met with high anticipation and frenzied promotion from fans across India. But even before its release, advance bookings for this anticipated blockbuster were so high that it carried an unprecedented wave of hype throughout the country. After one days earnings totalling in at around 14.11 crores, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has managed to beat out the revenue (earnings) of the actors previous work – Love Aaj Kal- earning…
