The Fawad Khan starrer The Legend of Maula Jatt hit screens a while back and has remained undefeated at the box office. Contrary to popular belief, Pakistani Punjabi-language action-drama film created and written by Bilal Lashari remains unparalleled even after newer films stormed through theatres nationwide. It’s now among the longest running Pakistani films but still manages to claim its throne as one of the costliest production from Pakistan yet, eventually achieving what may just be another record breaker of success for today’s cinema. Now just over three months since its release in October 2022, the film has managed to…
Much-discussed Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 2 premiered several months ago. Starring Akshaye Khanna, Tabu and Shreya Saran as well, the film had a successful start but then grew over time – reaching almost 4200 screens worldwide (including 3302 domestic screens and 858 international). The wide distribution helped attract audiences who may not have seen it originally due to lack of availability. After becoming available in most theaters around the country and amassing generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, Drishyam 2 has amassed profits north of $200 million globally. Collecting an astonishing Rs. 171.31 crore domestically and a further…
Drishyam 2 hit theaters some time ago and has been impressing audiences ever since. Starring Ajay Devgn, Akshaye Khanna, Tabu, and Shreya Saran the movie had already managed an impressive first week at home before it got even bigger in the international market. Furthermore despite losing a lot of steam this past weekend, it still had an exceptionally solid performance in spite of everything- showing just how much demand people had for it all around the world. This year in the markets of the United Arab Emirates and Gulf Cooperation Council, Drishyam 2 has managed to bring in USD 254k…
More than nine crore rupees were earned at the box office on Monday for both Drishyam 2 and Bhediya combined. From the perspective of theater owners, these figures are quite acceptable because recent releases had been unable to generate this amount on Fridays – typically a day that generates large revenues. Though more would have liked to see even greater amounts coming in from Bhediya (it is also one of the largest releases), Drishyam 2 has compensated for some of those loses so far. Let’s discuss Drishyam 2 first. This film did really well and has been running strong. In…
Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon’s latest film Bhediya has taken a dip in revenue over the past four days, according to early estimates. On Monday alone, the revenue dropped by 45-50%. Collecting around Rs. 3-4 crores per day means there isn’t much hope for this movie at the box office over time – unless it can climb back up to an average of around Rs. 5 crores per day soon. Bhediya has seen a drop at both the country’s single screen theaters and inside theatres where people were already paying full price tickets. With Bhediya targeted to metropolitan audiences, this…
Recently released, the Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 2 has been met with much success thus far. This sequel to the 2015 hit Drishyam also features Akshaye Khanna, Tabu and Shreya Saran. After being reviewed positively by both critics and audience members alike, this film can still be seen growing in number through continued patronage. Even though it had some competition from the new release Bhediya last week-end, it seems to be doing well overall for itself. This time we take a look at the second week collections for Drishyam 2 and compare them to last year’s highest release by Bollywood…
After a promising start on Friday, Bhediya was able to bounce back over the weekend for good profits shown on Saturday and Sunday. There was an increase in sales seen across both days which contributed to the new revenue totaling at Rs. 28.55 crores post the weekend. Had the numbers been closer to the Rs. 35-37 crore range it would have just seemed sweeter but still, we’re looking forward – not backwards – so as long as this upward momentum continues there shouldn’t be too many concerns overall. The film collected Rs. 11.50 crores on Sunday, which was about 2x…
Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon’s creature comedy, Bhediya has seen an upward trend in its opening weekend though the overall 3-day total continued to stay at lower levels. The movie jumped by around 30% on Saturday and 15% on Sunday. According to early estimates, it appears that Bhediya will make approximately Rs. 10 – 12 crores by the end of this week since it seems unlikely it would be able to cross Rs. 20 crores for its first full week totals; which is disappointing but understandable for a new release featuring two relatively unknown actors making their debut in a…
It was a prosperous day for the movie industry, with both of the movies in contention achieving success. It’s good to see Drishyam 2 maintaining its momentum and increasing its viewership so far; however, we are pleased to say that Bhediya has also been doing well over these last few days and will soon join the other two at an even higher level of success! The Dinesh Vijan production joins the ranks of films like Stree and Roohi which are already successful under his belt. To keep up with other films’ standards, it was necessary that Bhediya did well too.…
The Sooraj Barjatiya directorial Uunchai starring Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, and Anupam Kher hit screens a while back. A family entertainer the makers of the film opted for a staggered release, gradually increasing the total screen count as the demand from the audience rose. After receiving positive reviews, Uunchai which release on November 11, started off on a good note, witnessing immense growth over its opening weekend. Following this, in its first week running the business of Uunchai continued to see sustained growth, with the makers of the film adding more screens to accommodate audience demand. Last month, Uunchai, a…
