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.

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…

Interestingly, now after its fourth weekend…
Despite being the traditional slow period, things are going well at the box office. Monday saw an overall collection of around Rs. 10 crores – a great sign considering footfall has remained consistent lately. A recent report indicated that theatres were generating between Rupees 15- 20 crores every day, due to two recent releases: The Kashmir Files and RRR (Hindi). These figures could not be matched on Monday but still coming in with Rupees 10 crore is better than we’ve seen in the past couple years during this time slot when it would take weeks for theaters to break even,…
