Fateh Box Office Day 1 (Early Trends): Sonu Sood Surpasses His Last Film As A Lead?(Photo Credit – YouTube)

Sonu Sood’s Fateh, despite the criticism, has managed to hold decently at the box office. In fact it has even managed to not bring one of the lowest openings since the last year at the box office for a Bollywood film. In fact, it might have earned more than Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira.

Sonu Sood’s film on the opening day opened much better than Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ulajh, The Buckingham Murders & others. It has surpassed the entire lifetime collection of Abhishek Bachchan’s I Want To Talk that arrived last year.

Fateh Box Office Day 1 Early Estimates

As per the early trends, Fateh, on the opening day, Friday, January 10, has earned 2.4 – 2.6 crore at the box office. The film might grow at the box office in the upcoming weekend in order to survive.

Image
Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 3 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma starrer Vanvaas is struggling to mint numbers at the box office. On its 3rd day, the movie witnessed good growth, but alas! That is not enough. Let us look at the film’s box office performance on its third day.

Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 3

On its third day, the Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma starrer saw a jump of 50%, which was quite impressive. The movie earned 1.53 crores. It had earned 1.02 crore on its second day, while it had opened at 73 lakhs at the box office. The movie’s total India net collection now stands at 3.28 crore. The film has managed to cross 3 crores on its 3rd day. However, even though the film is witnessing a gradual growth at the box office, it is still not enough. It needs a further upward graph in the collections...

Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 2: 39% Jump But No Relief, Will Nana Patekar’s Film Land In The List Of The Lowest Grossing Films Of 2024?

Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 2: Needs A Desperate Jump (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma’s film Vanvaas has been struggling at the box office, and despite having a weekend in hands, it could earn only 1.75 crore in two days at the box office in India. The film needs a desperate jump on Sunday to bring a decent number.

Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 2

On the second day, Saturday, December 21, the Anil Sharma film took a jump of almost 39% at the box office. It earned 1.02 crore on Saturday after earning 73 lakh on the opening day.

The film is already one of the lowest grossing films in Hindi at the box office in 2024. In fact, it already opened as the 5th lowest opening film at the box office surpassing only films like Naam, I Want To Talk and others.

After Gadar 2’s phenomenal outrage of 500+ crore at the box office, director Anil Sharma is back with Vanvaas. While it is totally unfair to compare the film to Sunny Deol and his Dhai Kilo Ka Haath, Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma still could not manage to stand up to the current box office storm.

Vanvaas Box Office Collection Day 1

On the opening day, Friday, December 20, the film opened at the box office with only 0.73 crore coming in. This is a very low number, and certainly, the film could not face Pushpa 2’s storm along with Mufasa: The Lion King’s India run.

5th Worst Opening

The film has registered the fifth-lowest opening for a Hindi film in the year 2024. But, the saving grace might be Nana Patekar and Utkarsh...

I Want To Talk Box Office Opening Much Lower Than His Last! (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Abhishek Bachchan is back in the theaters with I Want To Talk, and the film has opened very low owing to the niche audiences it is targetting. However, this is the same audience who watched Shoojit Sircar’s last theatrical release October, starring Varun Dhawan!

I Want To Talk Box Office Day 1

On the opening day, Friday, November 22, the film earned a range of 0.25 – 0.30 crore. This is the second lowest opening of this year after LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2’s 0.15 crore. However, the film might grow owing to the positive word of mouth!

Abhishek Bachchan’s Last Opening

After much hype, Vikrant Massey’s The Sabarmati Report witnessed a very dull opening day at the box office, with the film earning very low, in fact one of the lowest in the year 2024. However, is Vikrant Massey entering a dark tunnel? Not sure and we’ll tell you why!

The Sabarmati Report Box Office Collection Day 1

On the opening day, the tragic film on the Godhra Kaand of Gujarat earned in the range of 1.15 – 1.40 crore at the box office. This is a very low number but here’s why it might not be a dead end and there might be light at the end of this tunnel!

‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’ Review: The Movie Makes A Lot Of Noise But Has Zero To No Impact
Image
Is it safe to say propaganda movies are a rage these days. There is no dearth of movies that cater to only bashing a sector of people without an iota of nuance or subtlety. Of course, as soon as someone points this out, there’s going to be hordes of replies claiming that the real stories are far more gruesome than the fictionalized version of them. Nevertheless, these movies seem to come packaged with an agenda that is obvious right from the start. Bastar is yet another feather in Sudipto Sen’s hat after the infamous The Kerala Story, released in 2023. Bastar covers the story of a village festered with Naxals. The film was released on Zee5 Global on May 17, 2024.

Bastar begins with a bail plea argument for intellectual Narayan Bagchi, who was arrested on the charges of conspiracy to kill Crpf officers and leaking information about their movement to...

Actress Adah Sharma, who is a practitioner of weapon-based martial art Silambam, has shared the mantra to a perfect workout, stating that it should be fun and working out with friends is the best.

Adah told Ians: “Workouts should always be fun and working out with friends is the best.”

The 31-year-old recently shared a video of herself bathing elephants and said that it gave her a whole core workout.

“The elephants are my friends and giving them a bath is a whole core body workout, which takes an hour. From shoulders, to biceps, to glutes and legs, said the actress.

Apart from working out, Adah added that diet plays an important role too.

“This workout is equal to crunches and leg raises and weight training altogether. Diet plays an important role in fitness. I’m also a pure vegetarian just like my favourite elephants.”

Shaitaan Box Office Collection Day 13 (Early Trends): Ajay Devgn & R Madhavan’s Film Maintains A Good Hold On 2nd Wednesday!

Shaitaan continues to mint moolah at ticket windows, and it’s quite impressive that the film is performing much better than all other new releases like Yodha and Bastar: The Naxal Story. This indicates that this film is here to stay till two big Eid releases take away maximum screen space from it. Now, let’s take a look at how the performance was on day 13, i.e., second Wednesday!

Driven by powerful performances

When it comes to serious and content-oriented roles, things continue to work in favor of Ajay Devgn. Drishyam 2 was in a similar zone, and it did wonders at the Indian box office. Now, his latest release has joined the list. Other than Ajay, R Madhavan is equally responsible for attracting crowds to theatres. The impressive performance of Janki Bodiwala also left an impact.

Bastar Box Office Collection Day 3: Adah Sharma’s Film Has A Low Weekend; Falls Short Of The Kerala Story
Image
Box Office – Bastar has a low weekend ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

It was a low weekend for Bastar as 2 crores* were accumulated. The film didn’t open well on Friday, and then growth over the next two days wasn’t huge either. The film needed a miraculous turnaround to have some sort of a chance during the weekdays, but then day-on-day increment in numbers wasn’t really there, as a result of which the first weekend has turned out to be rather underwhelming.

There is now no comparison whatsoever with The Kerala Story, which was by the same team as it had a huge pre-release buzz, a super controversial promo, a subject that ignited debates, a narrative that was hard-hitting, the critical acclaim which was huge and the word of mouth which was largely positive.

In terms of the budget and the making, Bastar has its costs under control, and the...

Yodha Box Office Collection Day 3 Early Estimates! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Yodha, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna in the leading roles, is picking up the desired momentum at the box office. The action film largely depends on word of mouth, but the competition due to Shaitaan made the run challenging. Scroll below for updates on the early estimates on day 3.

Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan led Shaitaan is stealing all the limelight at the ticket windows. The film has maintained a spectacular momentum since its release on March 8, 2024. The genres may differ, but the limited screen count is certainly hampering Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna starrer, although the degree may vary.

Yodha Box Office Collection

The action flick took a decent opening at the box office, with around 4.20 crores coming in. Karan Johar and the makers left no stone unturned to create hype ahead of the release of the film.

Shaitaan Box Office Day 9 Updates! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

There was very good growth for Shaitaan on Saturday, as 9.12 crores came in. On Friday the film had collected 5.12 crores, so this growth which has come in on Saturday is really good. This is on expected lines as well since it has been seen in the last year that when a film has been set well in theatres then week on week the kind of growth that comes on Saturday is really good. In the case of Shaitaan, it’s a much-loved film now amongst audiences, and that’s reflected in this Saturday growth.

To think of it, the film is not without its competition and still, it’s bringing in so much moolah. There is Yodha, which has been released, and that film is fighting it out as well at the box office. In such a situation, if Shaitaan is still...

Bastar Box Office Collection Day 2: Grows On Saturday ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

After bringing in 40 lakhs* on Friday, Bastar grew to some extent on Saturday and brought in 70 lakhs* more. The growth is strictly in terms of relative value since it’s 50%. However, in absolute terms, the collections are still quite low, as only 20 lakhs more have come in.

Ideally, the film needed to at least double up on Saturday, which means, at the bare minimum, 80 lakhs had to come. Even that wouldn’t have got Bastar into a solid zone but at least there would have been some sort of platform set to grow further. As a matter of fact, the film should have opened to at least 1 crore and then should have doubled and then tripled on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. However, with that not happening, what was required was that day-on-day jumps from the low Friday numbers were indeed huge,...

Sidharth Malhotra’s Yodha Is Picking Up Pace At The Box Office (Photo Credit –Youtube)

Sidharth Malhotra, Rashi Khanna, and Disha Patani are performing to impress with their recently released aerial action film Yodha. Helmed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, the film is picking up pace at the box office, and while it opened at 4.2 crore on day 1, it worked well on day 2.

A 42% Jump

On Saturday, positive word of mouth for the film played its role pretty well since the actioner took a jump of at least 42% on day 2. According to the early trends, the film is supposed to collect somewhere in the range of 5.5 crore to 6 crore.

If the late-night shows perform well, then it might go past 6 crore, but the chances might be bleak. However, while Sid Malhotra‘s film is getting appreciated and word of mouth is gradually growing, Yodha is currently depending only on...

Yami Gautam-led Article 370 has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for Bollywood. After an underwhelming performance of Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter, Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya provided some sort of relief. After that, Yami’s film successfully maintained that momentum and emerged as a clean success. Here’s where it stands now at the worldwide box office!

Reception of Article 370

Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the political thriller was released on 23rd February, and upon arrival, it received mostly positive reviews from critics. While there was always some sort of curiosity around the film due to its subject, the positive reactions from viewers provided a boost at ticket windows. As a result, it’s already a commercial winner.

Today, we saw two noteworthy Bollywood releases arriving in theatres, and none of them have made a good start at the Indian box office. Speaking about Adah Sharma’s Bastar: The Naxal Story, the start has been dismal, and the film is in a dicey position to even hit the 1 crore mark on day 1. Keep reading to know more!

Reception of Bastar

After delivering a blockbuster with The Kerala Story, director Sudipto Sen is back with another important and sensitive subject. Considering the success of the last film, expectations were high for this latest release, but the buzz was totally missing. Talking about critics’ reviews, they have been mixed. Even word-of-mouth among neutral audiences is mixed so far. So, a big turnaround won’t be seen.

Day 1 estimates of Bastar

During the pre-release phase, Bastar failed to create any sort of buzz around itself.

Highway is considered Alia Bhatt’s one of the best performances. It has been ten years since the movie was released, and it was Alia’s second movie after Student of the Year. In the Imtiaz Ali directorial, Bhatt impressed everyone by delivering a solid performance in a heartwrenching story about child sexual abuse.

Imtiaz Ali’s Highway also explores themes of freedom, self-discovery and courage to stand up for oneself. The film also stars Randeep Hooda in a prominent role. No one can imagine anyone else playing Veera except Alia Bhatt, who aptly depicted her character’s trauma, vulnerability and strength. However, Imtiaz has now revealed that he wanted an older actress to play the character. The filmmaker said that his unit wasn’t convinced Bhatt could pull off such a complex role.

Adah Sharma, who started out with the horror hit 1920 (2008), has since been known for the sheer variety in her work—Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada movies, Hindi web series, short films, and music videos. Her cream includes Hasee Toh Phasee, Commando 2, the series Holiday, and the short Tindey. And last year, she played the central character in the blockbuster The Kerala Story, which, in terms of Roi, was the biggest hit of 2023.

She now does a 180-degree flip from her earlier roles to essay a gritty Crpf officer in her second film with the …Kerala… duo, director Sudipto Sen and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, in Bastar: The Naxal Story.

Ajay Devgn’s ‘Shaitaan’ Box Office Collection: Day 5 Update

Ajay Devgn’s supernatural horror-thriller, “Shaitaan,” experienced a significant decline in box office earnings on Monday and Tuesday following its impressive weekend debut. The film, which hit theaters on March 8, initially garnered attention with a strong opening but witnessed a downturn in business on the fourth and fifth days of release.

Despite the mid-week slump, “Shaitaan” is poised to achieve a commendable Week 1 collection, thanks to its steady performance during weekdays. The film raked in ₹15.21 crores on Friday, followed by ₹19.18 crores on Saturday and ₹20.74 crores on Sunday.

However, its earnings dipped to ₹7.81 crores on Monday and further to ₹6.57 crores on Tuesday, totaling ₹69.51 crores in India.

Shaitaan Box Office Review: Pre-Release Buzz & Impression

Ever since the announcement was made, Shaitaan managed to keep momentum in its favor. It was made clear that the film is an official remake of 2023’s Gujarati film, Vash. We have seen that being a remake is a big minus in the post-pandemic era, but it still works if done smartly. While films like Jersey, Vikram Vedha, and Bholaa failed, Drishyam 2 was a huge success due to the unavailability of the Hindi dubbed version of the original film. This same thing seems to be working for Ajay’s latest release.

For a film that isn’t a completely front-loaded affair, the trailer plays a very crucial role in attracting the attention of the neutral audience,...

Adah Sharma ate 15 bananas a day, laddoos to put on 10 kgs for ‘Bastar’
Image
Mumbai, March 8 (Ians) Actress Adah Sharma has left no stone unturned to ace her look in the upcoming film ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’, which required her to put on weight.

Adah gained 10 kgs of weight for her role but also had to be fit. She gorged on 15 bananas a day and had flax seed ladoos for the film, which is based on Maoist insurgency in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh.

“I had to put on 10 kgs for ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’. But I had to also be very very fit, being able to climb mountains and do action with rifles. I ate around 15 bananas everyday and flax seed laddoos,” said Adah.

The actress added that she would eat four laddoos a day.

“We were shooting in the jungles so my mother gave me a whole box of laddoos. I used to eat four a day.”

Women’s Day: Adah Sharma defines 'girl power' – 'Not putting another woman down'
Image
Ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, ‘The Kerala Story’ actress Adah Sharma says she considers herself fortunate to be a woman in the film industry because women are being given “such powerful roles”. Talking on the occasion of International Women’s Day, Adah said: “I feel very fortunate to be a woman in this day and age.”

Adah made her Bollywood debut in 2008 with the successful Hindi horror film ‘1920’ . She was then doing high-octane action in the ‘Commando’ franchise. It was last year, however, when she gained a national following with her performance in Vipul Amritlal Shah’s ‘The Kerala Story’.

Now, she is all set to showcase her acting chops in the upcoming film ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’, which is based on Maoist insurgency in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh. Her ever-expanding filmography is proof that she is here and means serious business when it comes to content.

Box Office predictions – Shaitaan to open in 10-12 crores range ( Photo Credit – Panorama Music / YouTube )

This Friday sees the release of Ajay Devgn’s first film of the year, Shaitaan. The actor has at least five films lined up for release in 2024, and while each of them belongs to a different genre, Shaitaan is a supernatural thriller drama. An official remake of the Gujarati film Vash, the film has Madhavan playing the title role, with Jyothika and Janki in other principal roles.

The film has seen a tight campaign of 3 weeks around it, and that makes sense since it isn’t one of those quintessential mainstream entertainers with set action pieces or songs that would have formed a part of the promotion and marketing.

Indeed, what was required was the promo to do the trick and let word of mouth take over. Thankfully, the Vikas Bahl-directed film has indeed...

The year 2024 has offered us 8 Hindi films in the theaters, and now March 2024 is ready with as many as 12 Hindi releases in the theater. However, are these 12 films a hope for a March 2024 box office boom? Certainly not. However, the month definitely has a mixed bag with some unpredictable and dicey moves.

The only thing that might be certain is that March 2024 will perform better than March 2023 at the box office. Last year, the films released in the third month earned a total of 260.59 crores, and this month, the 12 films in total are targetting somewhere around the same number, but only in one condition – if word of mouth acts like a charm for some films.

In February as well, Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya...
