Since it’s a big film with the brand value of a popular franchise, box office enthusiasts are pinning high hopes on it. The only major concern is Akshay Kumar’s poor form.

In the post-covid era, many Bollywood superstars have failed to find their form and Akshay Kumar is one of them. Before the pandemic happened, he was one of the most bankable stars of Indian cinema and now, after the pandemic, he is struggling to deliver a big success at the Indian box office. So today, we’ll be taking a look at his success ratio post-covid, which indicates his poor form.

In the post-covid era, the actor had 14 theatrical releases, including his latest release, Kesari Chapter 2. It all started with Bell Bottom (2021), which was a big flop at the Indian box office. It was followed by Sooryavanshi (2021), which turned out to be a success despite Covid restrictions. It was a plus affair. From here, it took a long time for him to deliver another success.

Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam has turned out to be a major success for Tollywood in 2025 and won’t be slowing down anytime soon. With strong word-of-mouth, the film is maintaining a solid grip at the worldwide box office, and soon, it’s going to be the debut 200 crore grosser for the veteran Telugu star.

Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the Tollywood action comedy has emerged as the clear winner of the Sankranti battle. After HanuMan’s smashing run last year, it’s again a victory of an underdog. Despite being a comparatively smaller film than Game Changer and Daaku Maharaaj, it has managed to mint big numbers and hefty returns for buyers.

Game Changer Box Office (13 Days): Surpasses Sankranthiki Vasthunam ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

This Sankranti festive season, we witnessed not one or two but three big films arriving in theatres: Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj, and Sankranthiki Vasthunam.

Yesterday, there was an exciting contest between these two films, and in this short-term battle, Ram’s biggie took the lead. Keep reading for a detailed box office report!

Game Changer marked the debut collaboration between Shankar and Ram Charan. Though Shankar faced a major setback with Indian 2, expectations from this Tollywood biggie were high as Ram returned to the big screen with another magnum opus after Rrr. Unfortunately, it underperformed at ticket windows and pulled off a dismal total.

Amid an underwhelming run at the Indian box office, Game Changer had something to cheer about.

Akshay Kumar is going through a tough time in his career with back-to-back failures at the box office. But what’s been worse is people unnecessarily trolling him for doing 3-4 films per year. The Khel Khel Mein actor has now responded to the haters with a savage response. Scroll below for all the details!

Unfortunately, Akshay’s luck has not been in his favor since Bell Bottom (2021). He’s seen as many as 8-9 failures, including Mission Raniganj, Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and the latest being Sarfira. His star power has been impacted significantly, which is why the positive word-of-mouth is also not converting into footfalls for many of his recent releases.

Salman Khan Took Zero Fees For Race 3? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Bollywood movies have been struggling to recover their costs at the box office, largely because of their high budgets. Anurag Kashyap recently called Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan the “most cost-conscious” stars. Now, producer Ramesh Taurani is backing his claims detailing how the finances worked out in Race 3. Scroll below for all the details!

A lot of Bollywood movies have flopped at the box office in the post-pandemic phase. While content has evolved and audience preferences have changed, exorbitant salary demands by actors have also affected the business. Some recent examples are Selfiee, Laal Singh Chaddha, Adipurush, Bawaal, and Mission Raniganj.

In a new interview with Indian Express, Ishq Vishk Rebound producer Ramesh Taurani broke silence on the current situation in Bollywood. He shared, “So, entourage cost is there, but a bigger problem is the star fee.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced claiming that Pooja Entertainment’s office had been sold off due to payment dues of Rs 250 crore following the failure of the production house’s recent projects. However, Vadhu Bhagnani later clarified that the report was baseless and that he hadn’t sold the property. He mentioned that the office was undergoing construction development and nothing else.

Bn Tiwari, president of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (Fwice), has now addressed the issue, stating that the company owes significant dues.

He said, “This is unfair what they are doing. They are leading a luxurious life, and when it comes to paying the dues, they are making excuses. In their latest email, they said they would clear the dues by the end of July, but if they don’t, our workers will not work on any of their films.”

Akshay has been having a testing time at the box office for the last few years. He might have made a decent comeback with Omg 2, but it was more of a Pankaj Tripathi film. Akshay, meanwhile, has been struggling at the box office for a hit film.

Akshay Kumar’s last hit was in 2019 with Good Newwz. After that, there was a long dry spell. Sooryavanshi could not earn a hit tag in 2021; meanwhile, all his releases in 2022 were disastrous. Even 2023 had Selfiee and Mission Raniganj.

Akshay’s last festival release was Ram Setu on Diwali 2023, which did not work for him at all.

Varun Badola was the heartthrob of Indian Television at a time when TV was peaking. He started his career with Banegi Apni Baat but turned into the quintessential hero, making our hearts swoon with Kis Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chaand. In fact, he was the perfect ‘daamad’ every mother wanted.

Varun was one of the highest-paid actors on Indian Television and earned almost 8 lakh a month for his highly acclaimed TV show Astitva – Ek Prem Kahaani. For a show by Aruna Irani that starred Sangeeta Ghosh, he charged a bomb!

Titled Rabba Ishq Naa Hove, Varun Badola was paid 18,000 per episode, one of the highest-paid of those times. In fact, in 2004, when he participated in Nach Baliye, he was paid a whopping 16 lakh for the show. However, things took a drastic turn when Television started to change.

It will be a clash of the titans this Eid season as Ajay Devgn is all set to compete with Akshay Kumar. We’re talking about Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which are both releasing on April 10, 2024. Ahead of the big clash, let’s analyze the box office collections made by the last three films of the superstars.

To start with, Maidaan is a biographical sports drama based on the life of coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who revolutionized football in India. The cast includes Priyamani as Ajay Devgn’s love interest, Gajraj Rao and Rudranil Ghosh.

On the other hand, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is an action thriller directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. It will feature an intriguing camaraderie between Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, while Prithviraj Sukumaran will play the antagonist.

Akshay Kumar, who will be seen in an action avatar in the upcoming film ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, revealed he loves to jump from one genre to another as he himself gets bored by doing the same thing.

During the trailer launch of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ in Mumbai on Tuesday, Akshay said: “I don’t like to stick to one genre. I like jumping from one genre to another, whether success or not, I have always done that from the beginning of my career and nothing has stopped me. I will keep doing that, something which is social, something which is comedy, something which is action, I will keep doing different genres.”

Akshay, who was last seen in ‘Mission Raniganj’, shared: “Today if people say comedy and action films are in trend, that doesn’t mean I should only be doing that. I myself get bored doing one thing.

This was at a time when none of the Khans and Kapoors were able to deliver and were struggling with numbers.

Akshay’s number game has been strong, with as many as 4 – 5 releases in a single year. However, the post-pandemic world changed a lot of things for actors. In 2022, the superstar had five releases – four theatrical and an Ott release- and none of them churned out numbers at the box office.

Trending Koimoi Audience Poll 2023: Omg 2’s Climax To Animal’s ‘Papa,...

As far as the media and social media, and all those who believe in them, the year gone by was all about ‘Animal’, ‘Jawan’, ‘Gadar 2’ and ‘Pathaan’, and how these films either crossed or were on the verge of crossing the Rs 500-crore mark.

In my earlier column, I narrated the story of make-believe blockbusters and I mentioned these films at length. What is sad is that the media – social, print and electronic – amplify and seem to endorse these claims, making the world at large believe in them.

A Rs 100-crore grosser was a favourite term used by these media not long ago. Then it became Rs 200 crore. How would they know that a Rs 100-crore grosser actually meant barely Rs 50 crore of real business? It has come to such a point that now even the Rs 285-crore Salman-starrer ‘Tiger 3’ is not taken notice of!

Nobody bothers...

Once upon a time, there was a golden goose who laid numbers and more numbers at the box office. The goose, who was just one patriotic film away from getting discovered. While Akshay Kumar turned into a hysteria with back-to-back box office success when he discovered his Deshbhakti avatar at the box office, he probably overdid it.

There came a time when no one except Akshay Kumar was working at the box office. While he wasn’t delivering blockbusters of sorts, he cracked a certain code that worked well. He was considered the man with the Midas touch.

But then there also came a time when Akshay Kumar overdid it. While nothing worked for him, as he brought 4 films a year, he faced the worst year in 2022 with major big-budget disasters.
