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 market dominated by superstar movies.
The jumps have come in the multiplexes, however, the single screens continued to stay at lower levels. While an upward trend has come, the real test for Bhediya begins tomorrow, as a stronghold of Rs. 5 crores or more is a must for it to sustain in the long run. The opening weekend of Bhediya is lower than Varun’s last release, Jug Jugg Jeeyo.
Though we see great numbers in our multiplex cinema halls, the single screen theaters were stagnant. Since they’re finally showing a rise, Bhediyah can’t afford to disappoint now – it needs an earnings of more than five crore rupees just to carry on through one more day without any hiccups. But this isn’t all bad news – after all, Varun’s latest Jug Jugg Jeeyo (released weeks ago) earned less than what this upcoming flick did this past weekend.
