The SS Rajamouli directed film RRR starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR was released a while ago after being met with mostly positive reviews from critics. Despite starting off well, when its third week came around there were some noticeable drops in revenue in comparison to what it had accumulated over the course of the first few days. Nevertheless, at the end of its run RRR which also features Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn made Rs. 35 crore (approximately $5 million USD) – placing it among India’s seventh highest third-week grossers of all time! With just over one month until…
Now KGF Chapter 2 is being projected as a box office giant, and with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Initial estimates put the film’s three-day haul at around Rs. 40-41 crore, which would bring it to approximately Rs. 140 crore-plus overall so far. These are staggering numbers and this Yash film looks poised for an extended opening weekend in the region of Rs 185 crores. The first four days’ (non-holiday) earnings make up nearly half of Baahubali 2’s entire domestic gross – but seeing how well KGF2 performs on Monday will allow us to predict what its lifetime…
A few days ago, we finally saw the release of the much discussed film KGF – Chapter 2. Featuring actor Yash and directed by Prashanth Neel, it began with a boom when audiences rushed to see it. It did well with wide acceptance among viewers and positive reviews from critics. With an extended four day weekend, these factors have had a magic effect on the movie’s sales numbers: After making Rs. 53.95 crores on Day 1, KGF-2 made over Rs. 46 crore on Day 2 which raised its total revenue past the Rs. 100 crores mark. Collecting Rs. 100.74 crore…
This week is marked by a clash between two movie theaters. One theater has both Vijay starrer Beast and Yash starrer KGF 2- the former released days before followed by the highly anticipated sequel. Reports show that despite fierce competition from one another, Beast has been doing well in international markets. This comes after it kickstarted on a good note domestically just this past week but faced some hard times when it came to its Indian collections – these are now holding steady even though they’ve seen a slight decrease due to said intense competitor. Overseas, meanwhile, was where things…
The Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam released in China this week on 14th April 2022. The film which marks the return of Bollywood releases to Chinese screens opened on a decent note. However, unlike previous Indian films that have hit screens in China, it opened with low numbers; only earning USD 30,000 during its opening day. Ranked 10th among the week’s releases, Drishyam managed to sell approximately 6,234 tickets. Contrary to what one might assume given recent Bollywood films’s performance in China, Drishyam released without much fanfare; opening on a rather sluggish note in this market. Though it cannot be speculated…
This past week brought the long-awaited release of the eagerly awaited film KGF – Chapter 2, starring Yash as the Prashanth Neel directorial. Released across 10,000 screens worldwide and met with rave reviews by both audiences and critics alike, this has been an eventful venture for all who have ventured it themselves. Despite colliding with other big-budget releases such as Karan Johar’s Beast, the Yash starrer emerges victorious on international screens too. Within India alone, KGF: Chapter 2 has become a force to reckon within theaters having surpassed every movie domestically since its release. So far this number one choice…
The Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam opened in China not too long ago, but this time – like every other Indian movie screened there – the reception was lackluster. While openings for other films were pretty good, tickets for Drishyam remained poor; until it became apparent people didn’t want to see anything else despite already taking shots of an influenza epidemic and air pollution. After opening at a sluggish pace that featured only $1 lakh after one day, these numbers had still risen significantly with $1.4 lakh on its second day. A rise indeed when compared to the amount they brought…
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 -…
