It was originally predicted that Ram Setu would do well at the Indian box office after releasing on a Monday. Yet, as the numbers are starting to surface over time – it looks like otherwise. On Wednesday – which is now Day 3 for the latest release- Ram Setu started looking grim when according to the early projections it only managed to collect between Rs. 7 and 8 crores; an increase of just 10% from Day 2 when it collected 27 crore rupees (according to another source). The bulk of these poor earnings come from rural areas as cinema goers…
After such a large celebration of Diwali, we all need time to recover from the festive fervor. But so far it seems that no one is taking advantage of these days off. Collections still seem down on this day and we can only hope they’ll pick up after Christmas. One thing is certain though: people will always want movies! Both Ram Setu and Thank God saw good numbers yesterday – even if they weren’t the best out of all days – but things might change tomorrow once people start going back to work. Ram Setu had an opening day collection…
The collections for Thank God was below expectations after the film opened at below par numbers. On Day 2, it collected around Rs.5.75 to 6.35 crore which made its 2-day total be about RS 14.25 crores – far less than what most people anticipated for this Diwali release starring Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, and Rakul Preet Singh. After a disappointing beginning, the hope remained alive; at least for one more day to put up respectable numbers in the long run. But this sudden downturn has just set all hopes aside until and unless it miraculously turns things around within these…
Mehndi plays an important role at every Indian wedding. The intricately designed patterns may range from traditional designs, to geometrical shapes and abstract patterns. Designs can vary in size; some designs are large enough for both feet, while others fill only the palm of one hand. When designing these rounds or circle mehndi, large mandalas take up a lot of space on the foot or hand – providing an expansive backdrop for additional detail work that borders along the skin’s surface. In Kashmiri mehndi design, large circles cover nearly all of the palm and fingers before being filled with color…
Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai achieved an amazing feat at the box office on Monday by earning more than what it did on its opening day. After scoring Rs. 1.81 crores on Friday, the film saw an increase in numbers on Monday as it amassed Rs. 1.88 crores (3.87% hike), which is a rarity for movies – typically they go through a fall in numbers due to negative word-of-mouth/reviews or other factors that diminish foot traffic on Mondays while up against several other releases being released during the weekdays where people may want to save money and wait until Tuesday or Wednesday…
Ajay Devgn-Tabu starrer crime thriller Drishyam 2 is one of the most anticipated movies of this year. The upcoming sequel will jump ahead seven years after Vijay Salgoankar manages to escape from charges related to murder. The popularity of the first installment, as well as its trailer, has had an overall positive effect; evidenced by advance ticket sales in three major theater chains – PVR, Inox and Cinepolis – which are already at capacity for opening day. With just one day left until the movie release, Drishyam 2 has been able to sell over 100 thousand tickets for its opening…
Ajay Devgn’s latest thriller Drishyam 2, has scored the second biggest advance of the year for an outright Hindi film. The movie has clocked an opening day advance of Rs. 6.50 crores nett, which means before it even premiered it had already made six and a half crore rupees! Of those six and a half crores, about two point eight crores came from Mumbai’s leading cinema chains; PVRs, Inoxs and Cinepolis! This is way better than other Hindi movies like RRR (Hindi), 83 (Hindi), or Bhool Bhulayaa 2 (Hindi)! It also looks like Ajay Devgan’s new release will rank as…
In just three days, Bollywood Hungama has reported that advance bookings for the Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer Drishyam 2 are outpacing those of its predecessor. This sequel is creating a lot of noise given how successful it was when it came out last year. It’s even making headlines now with an initial sale count of over 27 thousand tickets across the three major chains – PVR, INOX and Cinepolis – on just the first day alone. And while PVR reported selling 55 thousand five hundred nine tickets so far, they’re not too far ahead of competitors Inox and Cinepolis…
This Friday, Ajay Devgn’s eagerly awaited sequel to his film Drishyam is set to hit theaters. The first installment created a cult following. Going by the advance booking report for Drishyam 2, this second part will likely perform well on its first weekend. So far, 77,105 tickets were purchased from among all three national chains – PVR (or Patterned Video Recording), Inox (Oriental Cinema Company Limited), and Cinepolis (Cinema City). It is also worth noting that this number only includes purchases until Wednesday afternoon so it can be assumed that the final tally will increase. With such attention coming in…
