A little over a month ago, the film Kashmir Files, which was directed by Vivek Agnihotri and starred acclaimed actor Anupam Kher, hit movie theaters. With just days left to go before it’s release, experts predict that the film will make close to 300 crore rupees (about $44 million) at Indian box offices. Even though its opening weekend sales were slow, they eventually grew immensely as more people saw it. And now even after having only been out for one week so far, it already looks like Kashmir Files will bring in over 200 crores ($32 million). The film is…
A new Indian film is set to release this Friday. The hype around the movie has been building up since its announcement, but can it live up to the hype? And if so, what will make it succeed? RRR boasts huge names behind-the-scenes – especially director SS Rajamouli – who became famous internationally with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Usually, Hindi films don’t open with more than Rs 15 crores, but because of the pandemic (and other reasons), RRR hasn’t had enough time for promotion and marketing and thus may see lower numbers. But even if there are fewer views for…
The recent release of The Kashmir Files has been at the heart of controversy for an ever-growing audience. Opening up with a modest number, this soon changed when it garnered an explosive response from audiences. Now in its second week of release, the film continues to gain immense success and triumphs over other films, even those by superstar Salman Khan. With Rs 26.20 crore grossed so far, it is now the fourth highest ever second Sunday grosser after beating Bajrangi Bhaijaan that made 24.05 crores and Tiger Zinda Hai (22.23 crores). It also surpassed Aamir Khan’s PK (21.85 crores) and…
The heavily-anticipated Hindi remake of the Bollywood smash hit, Bachchhan Paandey finally hits theaters this past Friday. Starring Akshay Kumar and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, it opened on a decent but not stellar note due to stiff competition from the previous week’s release. As revealed by box-office reports, when examined alongside its opening weekend collections in comparison to Akshay Kumar and Sajid Nadiiwaala’s previous collaborations, Bachchan Paandee manages to rank as their fourth highest opener. Earnings at Rs. 37.25 cr go past Housefull that collected Rs. 29.80 cr., Kambakkht Ishq that followed with a total collection of Rs. 22.62cr., Heyy…
Despite the hype and promotional efforts from producers of Bachchan Pandey, this new Indian drama failed to make an impact at box offices this past Friday. When comparing Bachchan Pandey to other recent films such as Kashmir Files which were released just two weeks ago, it is evident that the audience has already forgotten about Bachchan Pandey. This Bollywood box-office report compares the opening weekend earnings for Bachchan Pannidie, who stars alongside actor Sonakshi Sinha. After collecting $37.25 million dollars, it ranks as one of Nadiadwala’s top 10 highest openings weekends; which means it can’t beat his other films like…
The Kashmir Files, having just been released a few weeks ago, has proven to be unstoppable at the box or office. Against all odds – including being part of what seems like an unpopular genre and releasing during a season where people are starting to see less movies – the business for this film did not slow down one bit. In fact, it actually took off faster than expected when it first started making waves in theaters across Delhi. Despite The Kashmir Files’ position against competition from Bachchhan Paandey, it continues to hold strong when it comes to ticket sales……
This can well be seen with the kind of collections that The Kashmir Files enjoyed on Sunday. Rs. 26.20 crores came for the film which is astonishing but not entirely surprising since that was aXlways on the cards. What would have been more surprising though had the numbers gone past the Rs. 30 crores milestones since that’s the kind of level play at which the Vivek Agnihotri directed film is operating at. Standing at Rs. 167.45 crores, the film will enter the Rs. 200 Crore Club inside the second week itself, and then it would start its ride towards the…
This Vivek Agnihotri directed film The Kashmir Files had amazing success coming out a few months ago. When it started, people were skeptic about how the Indian market would respond to this movie in India because there was high competition from Hollywood blockbusters – but they were pleasantly surprised when it quickly became one of the highest grossing films. Despite this success overseas as well, where many Western countries criticized that an India-centric story shouldn’t be made at all – audiences embraced The Kashmir Files and gave mixed reviews showing good moral judgement and appreciating diversity in storytelling. According to…
Opening up on an extremely average note, Bachchan Paandey did not see an increased intake in terms of box office ratings this past weekend. Having received approximately Rs. 38 crore throughout the opening three days (as opposed to Friday – Sunday), the Akshay Kumar starrer could not outpace other recently released movies such as Kashmir Files (released earlier in 2022) which earned Rs. 42 crore and averaged between Rs. 44-51 crore overall; respectively over the course of release three weeks). With Business at only around half of what was anticipated for this movie, there is a chance we might see…
– Rumored for weeks to come, the highly anticipated movie starring Akshay Kumar finally hit theaters this past Friday. Although it received its fair share of promotion, the film failed to keep up with other recent releases such as The Kashmir Files. With a disappointing opening day gross of Rs. 13.25 crore, Bachchhan Paandey has set itself up for an uphill battle against other competitors at the box office this weekend. Opening up with Rs. 37.25 cr, Akshay Kumar’s latest release has shown some definite improvement when compared to his earlier work – even taking into account projects like ‘Gabbar…
