Despite the hype and promotional efforts from producers of Bachchan Pandey, this new Indian drama failed to make an impact at box offices this past Friday. When comparing Bachchan Pandey to other recent films such as Kashmir Files which were released just two weeks ago, it is evident that the audience has already forgotten about Bachchan Pandey.
This Bollywood box-office report compares the opening weekend earnings for Bachchan Pannidie, who stars alongside actor Sonakshi Sinha. After collecting $37.25 million dollars, it ranks as one of Nadiadwala’s top 10 highest openings weekends; which means it can’t beat his other films like Kick that collected $83.83 million or Baaghi 2 ($73.1 million).
Despite its strong competitors (The Kashmir Files), Bachchan Pannidie doesn’t rank among Nadiadwala’s best earners because he isn’t able to overcome already established movie franchises like Judwaa 2 ($59.2 million), Houseful 3 ($53.3 million) and Housefull 4 ($46.5 million). However, if you’re still interested in watching this movie, then you should go before it leaves theaters because predictions show that it’ll drop off soon and lose money over time (especially on weekdays).
