The Akshay Kumar starrer Bellbottom, while garnering praise from critics, was not received quite as well among audiences due to the restriction of Covid-19. Overseas reception was better – yet successful enough to make up for underwhelming U.S.A./Canadian sales numbers. With about 275k USD earned over its opening weekend in North America alone; it’s clear that overseas reception outweighed domestic reception for this film – though both numbers are significantly lower than what would have been expected had there been no restrictions against Covid-19 usage abroad or domestically.
