The hugely anticipated release KGF – Chapter 2 starring Yash released last Thursday, drawing rave reviews and receiving strong interest before its initial debut. Opening at nearly 80% occupancy for each day of its opening week, hype was growing rapidly across the Indian subcontinent in anticipation for one of India’s newest movie releases. Within five days, as news spread about how successfully this production had fared with audiences, KGF -Chapter 2 became an elite member amongst Hindi dubbed productions in India; being preceded by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (510.99 Cr) and RRR (253.84 Cr). All thanks to breaking records when…
Since last week, when Ajay Devgn’s DRISHYAM was finally released in China, it has done quite well. In comparison to other movies coming out of India that are screened there first before anywhere else (such as TALAASH or ANNIYATAN), the performance so far can only be described as ‘modest’. Still showing modest growth for now though- on its sixth day, the film took another $120000! This made a total of $750000 (a little under Rs 5 crore) which is somewhat less than what recent Indian releases achieved at the Chinese box office. With a Saturday nearing, we anticipate this growing…
A few days ago, KGF – Chapter 2 released to audiences. It was still widely popular even though there were several new releases that came out over the last few weeks before its release. Given this hype, I went into watching it thinking they had at least done something right because people seemed so excited about its arrival. When sitting down in my seat inside a crowded theatre and turning my head around to observe all the faces staring back at me with anticipation, it reminded me of how refreshing movies can be for everyone in this place together -…
The latest installment in the KGF movie series came out last week on Thursday and was met with phenomenal success by audiences. Audiences were drawn to it regardless of when they could see it – some theaters had a show starting at 6 am while others had special shows later than midnight. To satisfy all this eagerness, the ticket sales went up each day until they reached an unimaginable sum of Rs. 219 crores (over 4 billion rupees). Now onto Day 5 running, KGF 2 has grossed another Rs. 25 75 crore (about US$3 million), bringing its total earnings to…
With a number of stars walking down the red carpet such as Karan Johar and Taapsee Pannu, none were able to outshine the spectacle created by KGF Chapter 2 starring Yash. This highly marketed movie was released on Friday at 11 am nationwide which gave theaters four extra hours for customers to stream in from all over India. With an increase in ticket prices over weekends, many were worried if their budget would stretch beyond Sunday. But despite these fears, after 4 days of exposure domestically KGF Chapter 2 stands tall at Rs 215 Cr with no signs slowing down!…
The much discussed and greatly anticipated Yash starred KGF Chapter 2 premiered last week Thursday. Hitting an enormous 10,000 screens around the world with different languages, the movie was seen to be a blockbuster before it even came out. Succeeding the expectations set for it, this film has been making insane profits domestically and internationally so far too. In fact, it only took four days since its release for this picture to make Rs 193.99 crores already! But even this wasn’t all; KGF Chapter 2 just achieved an extraordinary feat. Accumulating INR 40+ crore through the fourth day of release,…
The RRR directed by SS Rajamouli starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR along with Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn was released a few months ago. The film received an excellent reception after its first screening, which lead to high interest for the movie among audiences. All-in-all, it took only four days for the movie to break all records; securing both achievements of crossing Rs. 100 cr and Rs. 200 cr in box office sales over this short period of time. As it stands now, two other movies were both competing for space on theaters against RRR – which is still…
This new Hollywood release starring superstar Ajay Devgn debuted in theaters across Indian borders weeks ago. Alas, with no hope of meeting the same fate as other recent Bollywood releases – this movie failed to capture much attention. Opening up on Friday night with a minor initial revenue of 3 lakhs Rupees, its earnings were never anything noteworthy compared to Saturday’s gross intake which was only marginally higher than what it had made on Friday night during its debut. Fortunately, though seeing barely any reaction from audiences after five days since release and earning 10 lakhs Rupees(Rs 8), there have…
KGF Chapter 2 continued to do well financially over the weekend with an estimated Rs. 22-24 million made in one day and over Rs. 212 million total earnings to date. This is an exceptionally strong performance for a weekday release when there isn’t a national holiday–particularly considering it is only Monday which had less traffic than either Saturday or Sunday days which would have netted an additional Rs. 25-26 million at peak hours if it was a weekend release. KGF Chapter 2 has rapidly climbed up the list of most watched movies in North India, predicted to exceed The Mahabharata…
Blockbuster after blockbuster are showing up at theaters lately. The Kashmir Files kicked off everything; then RRR (Hindi), and now KGF – Chapter 2 (Hindi). First two were moderately successful while the last one is going to obliterate both of those numbers in the first week itself. It could even possibly enter the Rs. 300 Crore club before the end of this second weekend which will be amazing. After Monday where it raked in an astounding 27 crores, increasing its total to 187 crores so far. Apart from boasting production values reminiscent of international standards, what really seems to have…
