This suspenseful dramatic thriller, starring the very charming Kangana Ranaut was finally screened after a whole lot of hype and promotion. Still, unfortunately many failed to truly appreciate her efforts this time around. Initially things looked grim for the popular movie actress but all said and done, people who went watch it seem pleased with how she did- which would be great news for all those invested in her career such as her producer husband Madhur Bhandarkar. In these tough economic times – taking into account review ratings over social media posts- there was no way he wouldn’t take any…
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is making all the money and it looks like it won’t stop anytime soon. According to estimates, on Monday alone the movie made between Rs.10.5 – 11.25 crores (around $1million) which puts its 4-day total at about Rs.67 crores ($10 million). A small percentage drop (in comparison to Friday) was seen because of lower ticket prices across major theatre chains nationwide over a weekend. In terms of footfall through theatres though, there is no notable difference when you compare it to Friday’s numbers; Mumbai and Gujarat are clearly being turned into fans of Hrithik Roshan’s latest blockbuster…

Post that there was an opening weekend at Rs 55.96 crores which is phenomenal for this genre – also breaking records for number one spot for all time openings!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness debuted with high anticipation, yet saw a sharp decline in revenue over its first few weekends. Now, after another significant decrease in ticket sales on weekend 3, Doctor Strange has collected $31.6 million domestically and $40 million internationally – just barely enough to break even. The film remains near the top of the worldwide weekend estimates chart. Collecting a staggering cumulative $803 million [Rs. 6213.27 crore] Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has done well, but when compared to the previous release in the MCU, the film has only collected 44% of…
Yesterday, the Anees Bazmee directed movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was released. Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starred in this blockbuster film which had been produced by none other than Mohit Suri himself! Since extensive promotion for this film began days ago, advanced booking for tickets already indicated an extremely high likelihood of success. Opening with a bang at Rs. 14.11 crore on Day One itself– taking off to a flying start–Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 seems to be enjoying excellent trending during Day Two too: Morning shows have shown occupancy rates of 35-40%! In addition, advance bookings for the second day have…
Recently, there has been a new release called Runway 34 starring Ajay Devgn. Although there were many people who enjoyed the film, this latest movie did not do well at its release day due to various other films releasing within close proximity of one another, and also because it was generally disliked by audiences. In this box office report, we examine the third-week collections of Runway 34 while comparing it to past films from 2022. Collecting Rs. 2.97 cr Runway 34 became the fifth highest grosser for its third week so far in theaters this year; only exceeded by films…
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…
