The recently released Rajveer Singh starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar has been making headlines lately due to its socially relevant subject matter. With great promotion and hype, the movie was predicted to start off strong after opening for morning and afternoon showings but the reality proved otherwise. Reports say there are about 10% occupancy rates for both types of showings. Released across 2,250 screens domestically, this movie needed to replicate numbers from movies released in recent years that have done very well in terms of revenue generated. However it seems like this particular film’s topic wasn’t received very well because of its…
Directed by SS Rajamouli, starring Ajay Devgn, Ram Charan – Jr. NTR, Alia Bhatt and Satya – Indian cinematic powerhouse RRR released last month earning over hundred crores in a mere six weeks. Unsurprising as it was hailed to be one of the year’s blockbuster movies right after its moderately successful opening weekend; but few thought that this would happen so soon when figures were being displayed in amounts exceeding millions more than just tens of thousands. What made people forget all about the original projections for the movie was undoubtedly how much success RR had seen up until now…
Earlier this year, the Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam was released in China. The movie had garnered a lot of attention due to its release date coinciding with the Chinese New Year break, but despite all expectations, it just didn’t manage to do well at the Chinese box office. From day one, there were already apprehensions among trade watchers about how good or bad Drishyam would perform since many Bollywood films which opened during the New Year period only managed to make around USD 200-300 thousand (INR 1.4 – 2 crore) for an entire month’s run in theaters. And sadly enough…
The Vijay Gupta-directed film ‘The Kashmir Files’, which just hit theaters two weeks ago, is still showing significant success.

Following this, despite new films being released to screens last Friday – The Kashmir Files’ ticket sales remained steady throughout the rest of the week. In its third week now, it seems as though there may finally be some signs of slowing down for them; however at this point they are still performing remarkably well.…
This past Friday, the Ram Charan-Jr. NTR starrer RRR (Ra Ra Rajasekhar) hit screens nationwide with much anticipation from fans who couldn’t contain their excitement for this long awaited film. Within just five days of its initial release, it earned over 100 crores of revenue domestically and internationally without ever slowing down or showing signs of weakness. Furthermore, this success comes after months and months of promotion which made it all the more successful in people’s minds even before they saw it themselves despite being seemingly unsurpassable by Vikas Bahl’s Kaashmir Files starring veteran actor Anupam Kher. In fact, the…
Prashanth Neel-directed KGF – Chapter 2 starring Yash came out last week. Critics say it has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, while also managing to rake in a stunning Rs. 53.95 crores on its first day of release alone. Furthermore, it has seen continued success throughout its time at theaters – making an additional Rs. 46.79 crores over the course of only two days (excluding Sunday). Despite heavy competition from other films and little to no competing cinemas, KGF2 had continued to outpace expectations. In fact, the closer it gets to New Year’s Eve—and even after operating for three…
