The sky lit up with fireworks and people cheered all around me. I felt completely alive surrounded by those who celebrated these two worlds colliding, come together tonight so bright; how could anyone ask for anything else? The place was crowded yet everyone was still able to find their own space without feeling claustrophobic – though it was easy to feel swept up in the grandeur of everything happening here. Everyone looked gorgeous, from the man dancing fluidly on stage next to the person selling roses at each turn that he took, whose hand never left his pocket for any…
With the release of Bachchhan Paandey, directed by Farhad Samji featuring Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez, there was high anticipation. Despite all of this buildup, however, opening day was only moderately successful – with Rs. 12 crores on Saturday after a big drop from its opening day of Rs. 13.25 crores- now at Rs. 25.25 crores total for the first three days combined (as of Sunday). Competition is fierce between Bachchhan Paandey and The Kashmir Files which are both doing well at the box office; so it seems that this movie might have mediocre success during Holi weekend…
This is undoubtedly a significant moment in India’s cinematic history. After its ninth day, a film has already made its greatest daily sales to date. Not only this, but it also looks likely that the future days will see even greater success – whether today or tomorrow, it doesn’t matter because people are lining up around the block for tickets just to see this one of a kind movie. If you’re looking for proof that this is an extraordinary event, then look no further than these numbers: on Monday alone (Day 2), there was 10% increase in ticket sales and…
The Farhad Samji-directed Akshay Kumar-starring movie, Bachchhan Paandey, starring Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez among others was released this weekend. Although the film had a good start at the box office given its content and promotion, it remains to be seen whether it will collect enough money based on reviews alone. However, so far, it has been able to earn Rs. 13.25crore over one day of release – which makes for an impressive second best opening figure for India after Sooryavanshi (which opened at Rs. 26crore), but still falls short by quite some distance from Baahubali 2’s record…
In spite of heavy promotion and hype, The Farhad Samji directed film Bachchhan Paandey starring Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez was lackluster. On its opening day alone, it earned only Rs. 13.25 crore rupees – much lower than the previous release The Kashmir Files made in its first day- which makes for an uphill battle going forward. In this opening weekend box office report, we took a look at the best collections from recently released films post pandemic period. One of them being, Bachchan Paandey who earns Rs.37.25 cr on its opening day – giving it…
The Kashmir Files continues to do well at the box office with an increase from last week. Since the release of this film, the total revenue stands at Rs. 180 crores after just 11 days which is an enormous accomplishment for any movie! This number will only grow as time goes on and there are more people who come out to see this film. For example, even though there was some criticism about how ‘overly produced’ this movie may have been made – it has still done well across India. Not only in metropolitan cities like Delhi or Mumbai but…
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…
