The Punjabi film Saunkan Saunkne starring Ammy Virk has already done well since its release last week. Despite the lack of recognition in some international markets such as Canada, it’s faring very well there too due to an influx of Indian immigrants and people interested in Bollywood-style movies which are quite popular in North America. The film drew USD 109,254 (Rs. 85 lakh) in India when it was released on Friday, but after getting widespread success in Canada for example – where it opened with 29 screens and grossed $446,727 (3.48 cr.), making almost Rs 12 Cr from only two…
The Kashmir Files – which was directed by Vivek Agnihotri and released on the 19th – received a good response from theatre goers, who rushed to watch it within hours of its release. After being premiered in about 650 theatres at first, the film took off successfully and had an increase in screens over this weekend (from Saturday-Sunday). This enabled them to earn Rs. 27,150 crores from just those two days alone! On Mondays when it was back at the cinema for people to come see it again (this time with still more success!), it saw no drop off from…
The movie directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Kashmir Files had an amazingly successful opening weekend. Released on Friday last week, it collected Rs. 3.55 cr within the first 24 hours of its screening – but this was only just the beginning. Saturday showed continuous improvement over Day One as it made Rs. 8.50 cr., or 325% more than what was generated on Opening Day alone! And now in response to Sunday’s success with Rs 17 crores (300% increase), The Kashmir Files had another spectacular record-breaking performance with Rs 15 crore (+325%) earned at the box office just yesterday! As per…
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed Gangubai Kathiawadi released over a week ago, and since then Alia Bhatt starring film has been taking in vast amounts from the box office. At first it did well but as time went on its popularity only grew more and bigger until now it has managed to make over Rs. 100 crores (millions). When compared to Alia Bhatt’s previous release, the actress’s latest release has grossed Rs. 105.26 crores since its release date; making it her fifth successful film out of ten released so far. When looking at being the fastest ever for a Bollywood…
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt released a while back and since then there has been no stopping the movie at the box office. Its release was met with acclaim, leaving audiences eager for more throughout its opening weekend and first week. And after 10 days of production, Gangubai Kathiawadi’s earnings have reached an impressive Rs. 100 crore mark. In this article, we explore Gangubai Kathiawadi’s financial performance while also comparing it to Bhansali’s other successful movies. With Rs. 102.6 crore collected in just 13 days, Gangubai Kathiawadi becomes Bhansali’s fourth film to cross over the 100-crore…
Last week we watched Dharmaveer go live in theaters for the first time. When it debuted, the movie had a mediocre showing, but eventually gained significant momentum during the weekend due to rave reviews on social media. This was quite an accomplishment given how competitive this year has been for Bollywood releases – even those that were opening wide like Jayeshbhai Jordaar could not take away all of Dharmaveer’s appeal. Well now after one whole week in theaters, it has managed to gross over thirteen million rupees! The success was largely attributed to people residing in districts such as Thane,…
Indian cinema has largely experienced slow activity as of late, with only three films performing well in the box office out of a dozen or so released this year. But this week’s predictions appear to be changing given Kartik Aaryan – Kiara Advani starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has gained an advance booking rate just one-third behind Satish Kaushik – Kriti Sanon starring Imli Aur Hum, on top slots in 30 cities across India so far. It is also predicted that it could cross 50% compared to Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s first day show times, but won’t surpass Padmaavat’s all-time record opening day…
The much-hyped, expensive blockbuster Dhaakad debuted to disappointing numbers at the Box Office. The first day’s earnings had been estimated at nearly four crore Rupees ($6 million) but according to reports, it managed only about one point five crores Rupees ($2 million). It couldn’t break past a few thousand rupees through its first half-day in single theaters and failed even worse when it opened up for multiplex showings later on. In other words, all of us who were rooting for this movie had to face reality when we saw how poorly it performed today; especially considering how hard all those…
It had been an average week at theaters for the films in contention. There were three notable Indian releases over the course of a few days – one Hindi, one Bengali and one Kannada film. As expected, it was the English-language Hollywood movie that fared best among them; while its own countrymate trailed behind slightly with enough momentum to push through two weeks’ worth of showings. This will be the first time I am speaking about Jayeshbhai Jordaar. He is an actor who played in the film which managed to collect only Rs. 17.50 crore* dollars after its first week,…
Last week, the newest addition to our box offices had come out and new movies were hitting every single day but still here comes KGF Chapter 2 shining strong. Even though it came out long time ago (5 weeks ago) it’s managing to stay on top and looking like this movie will pass up other films. Recently it became one of only five films ever that have made such a big sum of money in their fifth week at the box office – so what does that mean? Let’s put things into perspective by giving you an idea about how…
