Mumbai, September 21 - Director R. Balki's next directorial Chup: Revenge of the Artist is creating curiosity among the audience, thanks to the very good trailer and special screenings for the fans. The psychological thriller stars Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja Bhatt in leading roles.

"Chup" received rave reviews from the audience screenings, which were held across the country on September 20 where it has been hailed as one of the best thrillers from Bollywood. The buzz for it is picking up, in fact, it is one of the most talked about mid-budget Bollywood films post-pandemic. On top of that, it will release on September 23, which happens to be National Cinema Day.



On India's first ever National Cinema Day, ticket prices have been reduced to as low as Rs. 75 for all the movies on over 4000 theater screens across the country. The positive impact of keeping the prices low is already being seen as the advance booking for most of the films, including "Chup" is super strong on September 23.

The National Cinema Day has come as a big opportunity for the mid-size Bollywood films that have been struggling to attract footfall in cinemas. For "Chup" things are looking way better than all other mid-size Bollywood films post-pandemic. The movie has so far sold over 72,000 tickets worth Rs. 63 lakh for the first day, and this number is expected to reach around 2,00,000 by the time the first show starts.

The opening of "Chup" will be decent considering the low ticket prices but if it gets further good reviews on day 1, which is expected after knowing the reactions from the audience screening, then the movie could have a good run and actually score a rare mid-size Bollywood hit at the box office.

Director Balki is looking super confident and we have seen a glimpse of that in the free preview shows. The same strategy was approached by Adivi Sesh for his "Major" and the movie turned out to be a big success at the box office. "Chup" is very much on track to repeat "Major's" magic, and if it becomes a hit, then it will do a lot of good things to the upcoming mid-range films.

Stay tuned...
