Box Office: Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 2 Set For Double Digit Start

Mumbai, November 17 - The much-awaited sequel Drishyam 2 starring Ajay Devgn is all set for a good start at the box office. The suspense thriller, directed by Abhishek Pathak, has generated a good amount of buzz through its teaser/trailer along with its unique way of promotions. ## "Drishyam 2" is a remake of the 2021 Malayalam film of the same name and also the sequel to "Drishyam" (2015). As far as the advance booking is concerned, "Drishyam 2" is having a much better response than several recent Bollywood movies, thanks to, again its teaser/trailer and the fact that it is the next chapter of an already superhit first part.## Produced by Panorama Studios and Viacom18 Studios, "Drishyam 2" is comfortably heading towards a double-digit start. The advance booking for the opening day of the movie is currently around 5 crores (with block seats), which indicates an opening of 12-13 crores net. The pre-sales are expected to be over 6 crores, which will be among the top three Bollywood movies post the covid-19 pandemic. ## "Drishyam 2" is not a typical Bollywood masala film, which used to go bonkers from the opening day itself. It is a movie that will heavily depend on audience word of mouth, and hence, spot booking will be crucial for the final opening day or weekend numbers. However, one would expect it to be a must-watch film considering the fact that the makers haven't changed the script much from the original Malayalam movie that was hailed as one of the best thrillers. ## The release size of "Drishyam 2" will also play a big role in its opening day numbers. As per industry insiders, the film will be released on approx. 3300 screens across the country which is good enough for it to take a healthy start and set up the stage for a very good opening weekend, expecting 45 crores if talks are positive. ## The original "Drishyam", which was released in 2015, took an opening of 5.4 crores and after 7 years, its sequel is set for a comfortable 2X start. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles with Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, and Rajat Kapoor in supporting roles.## Stay tuned...

Superstar Akshay Kumar To Reduce His Remuneration To Keep The Films' Budget In Check

Mumbai, November 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has been one of the first persons to come forward to help the film industry. Post the covid-19 pandemic, Akshay was the first A-Lister to release his film in theaters in the form of "Bell Bottom" and kick-started the cycle for Bollywood.## Post the covid-19 pandemic, Bollywood has struggled to get success at the box office. One of the major reasons behind Bollywood films' failure at the box office is the budget which hasn't allowed filmmakers to earn a profit despite the films continuously grossing over 60 crores.## Keeping in mind that budget is a major concern, producers are now asking actors to reduce their fees so that they can cut the overall budget to keep it in check. Akshay Kumar is once again coming forward in this cause, and he recently announced the will reduce his fees by 30-40 percent for upcoming films, which is a huge margin as he used to charge around 100 crores to star in a film.## "There are so many other things that need to be done and not just by the actors but the producers and theatres as well. I want to bring down my prices by 30-40%. Theatres need to understand that it’s recession time also. The audience has a limited amount of money to spend on entertainment. Everything has to change. We have to work on the cost of me, the cost of making the film. Everything needs to be addressed", Akshay Kumar said during a recent HT conclave. ## Akshay Kumar's last film was "Ram Setu", which is still running in a few theaters. The movie has grossed approx. 95 crores worldwide so far. The budget of the movie is said to be over 100 crores. Going forward, Akshay has several films in the pipeline, including the highly-awaited "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan" and "Oh My God 2", among others.## Stay tuned...

Sooraj Barjatya's 'Uunchai' On Course To Become A Rare Bollywood Box Office Hit Bollywood

Sooraj Barjatya's 'Uunchai' On Course To Become A Rare Bollywood Box Office Hit

Mumbai, November 15 - The proven Bollywood filmmaker, Sooraj Barjatya is once again paving the way for bringing family audiences back to theaters amid the continued disappointment within the film industry with his latest flick Uunchai.## The adventure friendship drama film was released on November 11 on comparatively limited screens of less than 500, however, the makers could have easily booked around 2500 screens. It is Barjatya's tried and tested release formula which has worked wonders in the past.## At a time when many low to mid-budget films are falling drastically, "Uunchai" took the opening of 1.81 crores net, which is not big by Bollywood standards but much better for its release size. Thanks to the super positive reviews and word of mouth, "Uunchai" witnessed a super solid jump over the weekend to score 10.16 crores net in the first three days.## The opening weekend total of "Uunchai" is higher than the lifetime total of some of the recent low to mid-budget Bollywood films. After more than a promising opening weekend, the eyes were on the crucial make-or-break Monday test and it passed it with flying colors by scoring more than the opening day numbers with 1.88 crores net.## The trend for "Uunchai" at the box office remained positive throughout the first week and it takes this momentum into the next week when more screens have been added despite the arrival of Ajay Devgn's much-awaited suspense thriller "Drishyam 2". The current worldwide collection of "Uunchai" is around 30 crores gross, including approx. 5.50 crores overseas in 9 days.## "Uunchai" is a much-needed boost to Bollywood which has been going through a dry spell at the box office as far as low and mid-budget films are concerned. Apart from Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files", no other non-higher budget films could spell the magic at the box office post the covid-19 pandemic. ## The worldwide theatrical share of "Uunchai" is around 20 crores, which is not looking a tough ask for it to achieve. Made with a budget of around 45 crores, "Uunchai" is very much on track to become a rare hit for the industry and fetch a good amount of profit for the makers from theatrical and non-theatrical revenue.## Produced by Rajshri Productions, the film revolves around three aged friends, who take a trek to the Everest Base Camp, to fulfill their fourth friend's last wish. A simple trek turns out to be a personal, emotional, and spiritual journey as they battle their physical limitations and discover the true meaning of freedom. It stars an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, and Sarika in key roles.## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar's Rumoured Exit From 'Hera Pheri 3' Upsets Fans

Mumbai, November 11 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is one of the actors who popularized comedy with films like "Hera Pheri" and "Welcome". "Hera Pheri" particularly holds a special mention in Bollywood history. ## In the first two "Hera Pheri", Akshay played the role of Raju who went on to become an iconic cult character along with Sunil Shetty's Shyam and Paresh Rawal's Babu Bhaiya.

Akshay Kumar To Headline Sequels To 'Hera Pheri', 'Awara Pagal Deewana', And 'Welcome'

Mumbai, November 8 - It has been a tough year for Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar who failed to give a single hit at the box office in many many years. Akshay has four theatrical releases in 2022, and none of them could reach 100 crores at the domestic box office.## Though the box office numbers of his movies are higher than most of the other Bollywood films, the films underperformed as the expectations were high. The box office scenario post the covid-19 pandemic has changed a lot and it seems Akshay Kumar has realized it and has decided to revive the iconic characters he played in the past. ## According to Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar has decided to revive the blockbuster sequels to his iconic comedy capers like "Hera Pheri", "Welcome", and "Awara Pagal Deewana". It is said that the superstar has been meeting with producer Firoz Nadiadwala and they already have had multiple meetings over the last few months. ## The news about "Hera Pheri 3" has already been making noise for the last couple of years as Nadiadwala confirmed in multiple interviews that he has a script ready for this blockbuster franchise to take this forward. ## "The idea is to revive the three franchises and bring back the Hindi cinema audience in a big way. The three films fit the bill of post covid content, to create genuine excitement in the audience. The talks are on with 3 top directors, and expect an official announcement on one of the three projects in the next few months", the report says.## Apart from the aforementioned films, Akshay will also be visiting "Jolly LLB 3", and "Houseful 5" along with the already announced two-hero action comedy "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan". He also has "OMG 2", "Soorarai Pottru" remake, "Selfiee", and "Capsule Gill" in the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...

Ranveer Singh To Team Up With Shankar For The Velpari Novel's Cinematic Adaptation

Mumbai, November 7 - Maverick filmmaker S. Shankar and energetic Bollywood star Ranveer Singh announced the maiden collaboration last year for the Hindi remake of "Anniyan". However, there hasn't been any development since then and now, as per the latest reports, that film is not happening anymore, instead, the duo will be collaborating on something very big. ## According to Pinkvilla, the super-talented duo will be collaborating on the cinematic adaptation of the iconic Tamil epic Novel, Velpari, which is touted to be the biggest pan-India cinematic event after SS Rajamouli's "Bahubali". ## It is said that Shankar wants to create something very big with the Velpari novel and teamed up with Ranveer Singh for its cinematic adaptation. The novel has everything to offer – from a larger-than-life hero to incredible life lessons, to a heart-touching love story and magnificent visual-effect sequences whose scale will set the next benchmark of action spectacles in India. ## The film will reportedly be made in 3-parts as it is so vast and complex that all the aspects can't be covered in one film. The shoot of the first part is expected to begin in mid-2023 and this will be the biggest film in both Shankar and Ranveer's careers.## Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Tamil star Suriya had bought the cinematic rights to Velpari novel and was reported that he would be playing the lead role with Shankar directing it. He may now produce this mega-budget film, however, the official confirmation is yet to be made. ## Stay tuned...
