Rocky Bhai has just arrived and already broken the records of numerous other movies this week due to its anticipation. With just 48 hours of advanced ticketing, Rocky had amassed a sum of Rs. 7 crores+ in India alone which is higher than that from past releases such as ‘Bell Bottom’ which received Rs. 2.75 crores + within two days or ‘Chandigarh Kise Aashiqui’ that gathered around Rs. 3.7 crores + during those two days too. Even though ‘Antim’ had Salman Khan’s appearance extended, other recent releases such as Bell Bottom, Chandigarh Kise Aashiqui and SMJ2 – all starring popular…
The Ram Charan – Jr. NTR starrer RRR has been taking in the money at the box office. Featuring Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, it was directed by SS Rajamouli – who also directed Baahubali. The film’s business increased over time as audiences appreciated this film too much to ignore it. With 16 days passing since its release, RRR crossed the Rs 1 billion mark at the worldwide box office now sitting firmly on top of this prestigious list with so many other films which opened before it – but failed miserably in comparison to what this one brought in.…
Arshad Warsi is well aware of the fact that Bachchhan Paandey did not do so great at the Box Office and yet he feels happy about it. On March 18th, when his movie came out – right in the middle of The Kashmir Files’ triumph on Box Office and with SS Rajamouli’s movie RRR releasing a week later – many people wondered if this would affect Bachchhan Paandey. But to those doubters, Arshad laughed and said don’t lie because he knows for sure it isn’t making too much money – despite only being released a few weeks ago. Although his…
SS Rajamouli’s RRR starring Ram Charan, Jr. NTR and special appearances from Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn has done well in terms of initial profit. The major revenue was seen during the film’s opening week followed by increases through the next few weeks with a total first-week contribution to revenue amounting up to Rs. 132.59 crores only five days into the release date. A little less than two weeks since then, and RRR(Hindi version) has achieved a grand total of Rs. 203.59 crores as it enters both the exclusive ‘Rs 200 cr club’ and debunks critics who said that the…
Two huge commercial successes, with seemingly unending budgets. While the cost for ‘RRR’ could be anywhere from 300-450 crores, there’s no way to know for sure considering how large these numbers are. Even if we take an estimate of 500 crores – that’s still 10 times what was used for ‘The Kashmir Files’. Yet despite this difference in production value, it seems as though ‘both’ ended up bringing in similar returns. Both films totaled around 260 crore rupees each, and were released within two weeks of one another; but because ‘RRR’ made marginally more – it came out on top…
Almost two weeks ago, SS Rajamouli’s hotly anticipated movie RRR came out worldwide. With stars like Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn making cameo appearances as well, the film has done exceptionally well both domestically and internationally. And now halfway through its run in cinemas, it has done especially well in Australia setting a new record for how successful an Indian movie can do there! In this box office report, we take a closer look at the numbers released for RRR at the Australian theater. When compared to other past successes such as Padmaavat, an A$3,221,184 number was reached while Padmaavat…
In this monthly column, we take a look at the box office results of films from the last month and compare them to those released in previous years. This information can be used to analyze whether trends are changing or if they are steady.

The SS Rajamouli directed film, RRR starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR with special appearances from Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn released a while back. With his first major studio release post the epic Baahubali saga, expectations for this movie were sky high. Luckily it was able to exceed them; providing viewers with an exciting film which lives up to its hype – living up to its title of being a grand finale as well as the end of an era. Released across 8000 screens in multiple languages and formats – even playing in select 4DX theaters – the movie…
Last Friday night, Attack – Part 1 was released to a mix of reviews. With stiff competition from the latest releases The Kashmir Files and RRR, it seemed as if there wasn’t much hope for this movie. However, it still managed to find some success during its opening weekend- collecting about 12 crore rupees (around $1.7 million). Although it didn’t rank among the top openings for 2022 so far, it still managed to place sixth on that list. However, in comparison to the film’s predecessors like RRR (which earned Rs. 75.57cr) Gangubai Kathiawadi (Rs. 39.12cr), Bachchhan Paandey (Rs. 36.17cr), and…
The Kashmir Files- directed by Vivek Agnihotri- had recently hit theaters, achieving unprecedented success and earning new records after achieving excellent reviews from critics. While the movie barely made about Rs 3.6 crores (roughly $555,000) during its opening weekend, it became tremendously popular among moviegoers who couldn’t get enough of it in the succeeding weeks, thanks to sab kaam ads—campaign marketing whose slogan reads Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas (Everyone’s Support = Everyone’s Progress). Driven purely by word-of-mouth advertising rather than costly promotional materials such as teaser videos or billboards, these campaigns worked wonders for The Kashmir Files because people kept…
