Box Office: 'Mission Raniganj' First Monday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 9 - Akshay Kumar's biopic survival thriller, Mission Raniganj crashed on its first Monday after the low opening weekend. The movie could have a chance of some revival at the domestic box office by putting up a collection on Friday levels but that is not the case anymore.## Mission Raniganj, on its first Monday, scored an estimated 1-1.25 crores net collection, which takes the total collection to around 13.75 crores in 4 days. These collections could have been termed good for a low-budget movie but not a film featuring one of the biggest Bollywood stars. ## The film was carrying a low buzz before release and the makers didn't even put effort into generating awareness among the audiences by opting no to a minimum promotion strategy. The movie is heading towards finishing under 25 crores net mark, which is a disappointing performance.## Meanwhile, adult comedy-drama, Thank You For Coming, is also heading towards a similar fate as it scored an estimated approximately 50 lakh net collection, pushing a total 4-day cume to around 5.00 crores. Overall, the movie is heading toward finishing around 10-15 crores net lifetime total.## Stay tuned...

'Mission Raniganj', 'Thank You For Coming', and 'Dono' Score Low Opening Weekend At The Bollywood Box Office

Mumbai, October 9 - It was not so good weekend at the Bollywood box office as far as the new releases are concerned. The just concluded weekend saw the release of Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj, all female-led adult comedy-drama Thank You For Coming, and the heart-warming love story Dono, but none of them could carry the momentum Bollywood was going through over the last few months. ## "Mission Raniganj", based on real-life survival thriller events and featuring one of the biggest Bollywood stars, couldn't find audiences in theatres in its opening weekend and scored just a little over 12 crores net collection. The movie needed to score more than the usual jump on Saturday and Sunday after the very low opening day. It did score a big jump on Saturday but was not enough to cover the lost ground and then was affected by the World Cup match on Sunday.## The adult comedy-drama, "Thank You For Coming", didn't get the opportunity to welcome the moviegoers in theatres as it also ended up scoring a very low opening weekend. The opening of the movie itself was low with 1.06 crores net, and despite the jump on Saturday and Sunday, it managed to collect 4.42 crores net in three days. The best it can now hope to score over opening day collection in the weekdays for a decent lifetime total. ## "Dono", a heart-warming romantic drama, starring debutante Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon, was a goner on the opening day itself. It scored around 1 crore net in the opening weekend, joining the list of new releases which failed at the box office. ## Meanwhile, the holdover film, Shah Rukh Khan's mega-blockbuster "Jawan" had a fantastic 5th weekend in Hindi, scoring approximately 6.25 crores net which takes the total Hindi net collection to over 566 crores in 32 days. Excel Entertainment's "Fukrey 3" also did well in its second weekend and scored over 10.50 crores net, pushing the total collection to over 76 crores in 11 days. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Mission Raniganj And Thank You For Coming First Saturday/Second Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 7 - After the shocking opening day, Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj sees a big jump on its second day at the domestic box office but not big enough to cover the lost ground. The movie jumped by around 70% today, but it needed to score over 100% as the opening day was low at 2.80 crores net.## On its first Saturday/second day, Mission Raniganj scored an estimated 4.50-5 crores net, taking the total collection to over 7.50 crores in two days. The two-day collection of the movie should have ideally been the opening day collection which was not the case, and now, so much has been left for it to chase. ## While the damage has already been done, Mission Raniganj can still make up if it shows a similar kind of jump tomorrow on Sunday and then performs on a similar level to today's collection on the first Monday. The three-day opening weekend of the movie is looking to be around 15 crores net which is not good enough for a film featuring Akshay Kumar.## Meanwhile, the adult comedy, Thank You For Coming, which had a low opening day at 1.06 crores net collection, scores a jump of around 40% today for an estimated 1.50 crores net collection. The total collection of the movie is around 2.50 crores in two days and the weekend is looking at 5 crores net.## Stay tuned...

Shahid Kapoor To Headline A Mythological Epic To Be Produced by Vashu Bhagnani

Mumbai, October 7 - Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is gearing up to commence the shoot of director Rosshan Andrrews' cop thriller film which begins later this month. After finishing this, the "Kabir Singh" actor will team up with producer Vashu Bhagnani for a mythological epic, according to Pinkvilla. ## It is said that the project in question is based on one of the most powerful characters of the epic Mahabharata. While the details about the project are not revealed, it will be a VFX-heavy project, mounted on a massive scale. The movie will be directed by a South Indian director. ## It is said that the yet-untitled movie is the most ambitious project for Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment. They have already started developing this movie and are determined to create a never-before-seen visual extravaganza for the audiences. It will go on floors in 2024.## Interestingly, in February 2021, Pooja Entertainment had announced magnum opus Suryaputra Mahavir Karna, and it was supposed to be directed by RS Vimal, best known for his 2015 Mayalayam movie, Ennu Ninte Moideen. However, there has been development on the movie since then and it was assumed to be shelved. ## "Suryaputra Mahavir Karna" is based on the life of Karna from Mahabharata, so there are chances Vashu Bhagnani might be planning to revive it with Shahid Kapoor who was said to be his first choice since the movie was announced. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Mission Raniganj Opening Day Early Estimates; Disastrous Start

Mumbai, October 6 - There was an Akshay Kumar-starrer, Mission Raniganj released this Friday, and the audience was hardly aware of that. The makers haven't even promoted that movie properly, suggesting that they either were too confident or had no hopes for it.## The movie got favourable reviews from critics and the initial word of mouth also seems positive, but because the makers didn't put much effort into promoting it and the lack of awareness among general audiences, there was hardly any opening of the movie at the box office.## Mission Raniganj opened to dull occupancy in the morning and it didn't improve a bit in the next shows as well, as early estimates suggest around 2.75 crores net opening. The final numbers may vary a little bit here and there, but it will still be a disastrous and one of the lowest openings ever for an Akshay Kumar-starrer.## The movie was carrying a low buzz due to obvious reasons, but it was still expected to take even a decent opening as Akshay recently delivered a box office hit in the form of "OMG 2". But again, two quick back-to-back releases were too much to ask for. ## Earlier in the year, Akshay's "Selfiee" opened to similar kinds of numbers and ended up as one of the biggest disasters of his career. If Mission Raniganj doesn't show a big jump on Saturday and Sunday, then a similar fate is inevitable.## Stay tuned...
