With three new Hindi movies entering theaters and two continuing to screen, it’s clear that Kantara (Hindi) is leading the pack. The trending so far is reminiscent of Pushpa (Hindi), which screened over a number of weeks before being dethroned by Allu Arjun starrer. Where they differ though is how much time was needed for Pushpa (Hindi) to become popular. From its first day out, all it took were consistent box office numbers to reach success. Conversely, Kantara (Hindi)’s popularity wasn’t recognized until after a few weeks in theaters– but only time will tell if this trend will continue or…

It’s happening right now for Kantara (Hindi) – with this new addition of Rs. 10 crores, they are in the range to reach the Rs. 100 Crore Club. Sure it’ll take time to cross that milestone but they will surely get there without fail! And if so, then we’ll all be waiting until they hit that big one hundred crore mark and then see what happens next! This week has seen the fourth week turn out to be truly remarkable, thanks in large part to reaching an all-time high of Rs. 70 crores*. All these weeks the movie has held…

With the kind of trend we saw this past weekend, some good hopes have been raised that there may just be a film with in it to finally break out. Yes, there had been event films that did quite well over the weekend and then continued on to do well even during weekdays. But when it came to non-event films, the trend has been sorely missed all throughout 2022. Moreover, for Uunchai it was also required that Monday collections were actually up from Friday – or else it wasn’t going to make its budget back; but considering how it doesn’t…

Now on its second day running – due to increased demand in tickets for this blockbuster – it is also…

It was a fantastic launch of Marvel’s latest release of Black Panther – Wakanda Forever. Like its predecessor, Black Adam, this one too did not come with much promotion or advertisement and still found success among audiences here in India. Clearly, Marvel has established themselves within the country and as long as there are movies coming out of their own set superhero universe; people will purchase it regardless of when they came out during the week-end because eventually viewers would focus on what really matters: content. This also happened with this latest offering which managed to make an initial total…

The Sooraj Barjatya directed Uunchai has proven to be one of the top openings for Amitabh Bachchan in recent times, grossing an estimated amount between Rs. 1.65 to 2.05 crores on its opening day (roughly $2790- 3480 USD). Though only released in 483 theaters nationwide, it was still able to outshine other films with larger releases which mostly targeted multiplexes.
