'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' To Repeat 'Oh My Gadar 2' Success At The Box Office? Bollywood
BY Sunit Jangir 📰 News

'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' To Repeat 'Oh My Gadar 2' Success At The Box Office?

Mumbai, November 26 - The Hindi box office showed its potential when Sunny Deol's "Gadar 2" and Akshay Kumar's "OMG 2" combined grossed approximately 800 crores in India after getting a same-day and date release, on August 11, 2023. This was the highest combined total of two Bollywood movies that were released on the same day.## In Gadar 2 and OMG 2 clash, fondly called "Oh My Gadar 2", the former created records by becoming the highest net-grosser ever in Hindi before the record was broken by Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan". The Akshay Kumar-starrer sequel too had a big success despite the clash and emerged as much needed hit for the actor. ## Almost three months later, Bollywood is again in the same position when two much-awaited films, Ranbir Kapoor-led Animal, and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Sam Bahadur are releasing on the same day, December 1st. The initial indications suggest that both movies may have success at the box office despite competing against each other, just like "Oh My Gadar 2". ## The advance booking of both films opened yesterday and the initial trend indicates Animal going Gadar 2 way while Sam Bahadur repeating OMG 2. In the Independence Day weekend clash, G2 was the leader in the advances since day 1 while OMG 2 was the second choice and the same is very much expected in the upcoming clash as well. ## It may not be possible for "Animal" to beat the numbers of "Gadar 2" due to the film's adult rating and lengthy runtime but it can still top 400 crores net if the word of mouth is positive. "Sam Bahadur", on the other hand, is likely to play like "OMG 2" and maybe go on to beat its numbers.## In a positive piece of news, both "Animal" and "Sam Bahadur" can play to their full potential for at least three weeks during which no other Hindi film is scheduled to release. The former has the added advantage of South India due to the Sandeep Reddy Vanga factor but there is Nani's "Hi Nanna" scheduled for a December 7 release which can give competition in Telugu. ## As said, if word of mouth is positive for both Hindi films, then "Animal" is expected to win the race while the "Sam Bahadur" team won't be disappointed either if the movie gets what it deserves. The patriotic flavour and the goodwill of Vicky in such roles along with director Meghna Gulzar are big pluses which can work at the box office big time.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Animal' To Challange 'Sanju' Opening To Emerge Biggest Opener For Ranbir Kapoor Bollywood

Box Office: 'Animal' To Challange 'Sanju' Opening To Emerge Biggest Opener For Ranbir Kapoor

Mumbai, November 23 - Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga have teamed up for the first time for a gangster action drama film, titled Animal. The movie is scheduled to release on December 1st, and unsurprisingly, it has been certified with an "A" rating by CBFC with an approved runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, making it one of the longest Indian films ever. ## Sandeep Reddy Vanga has directed three films including "Animal" and all three got approved by CBFC with the adult certificate. The previous two films, the Telugu hardcore romantic drama "Arjun Reddy" and its Hindi remake "Kabir Singh" were massive box office successes and now, "Animal" is expected to join the list. ## Interestingly, "Kabir Singh" starring Shahid Kapoor is the biggest "A" rated Indian opener with over 20 crores net and is also the highest-grossing adult-rated film with approx. 377 crores worldwide. "Animal", despite its lengthy runtime, will be eyeing to claim the top spot that too by a huge margin. ## The trailer of the film was launched on November 23 and it got a tremendous reception all around. The trade already had high expectations from the movie at the box office and now after the excellent response to the trailer, the anticipation has increased multifold and it should easily emerge as the biggest opener in the "A" rated category. ## Since the advance booking has not opened yet (scheduled to start on November 26), it is still premature to predict the opening of the film, however, given the talent involved in it and the excellent response to the trailer, "Animal" will challenge the opening of "Sanju" which is Ranbir's biggest opener to date in Hindi with 34.75 crores net. ## "Animal" is expected to do very well in the dubbed versions, especially in Telugu due to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's factor as well as Ranbir Kapoor who had success with his recent movies in South. The trade is expecting the film to take the opening of around 15 crores in South and 50+ crores gross all India.## The movie will directly clash with Vicky Kaushal's "Sam Bahadur", which is also carrying good buzz and is expected to have a good opening. However, "Animal" has the advantage of South and moreover, it will behave as a more frontloaded film than "Sam Bahadur". The advances will give more clarity about the film's opening but at the moment, it is the film to watch out for. ## It is produced by T-Series, Bhadrakali Pictures, and Cine1 Studios, and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Tripti Dimri in prominent roles. The film is scheduled to release on December 1st in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...

'Adipurush' Final Worldwide Box Office Collection and Records

Mumbai, November 22 - Director Om Raut, after the huge blockbuster success of "Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero" in 2020, came up with the even bigger or perhaps the biggest film of his career Adipurush. The film starred superstar Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunny Singh, among others in key roles.## Produced by T-Series and Retrophiles, "Adipurush" was director Raut's modern take on the epic "Ramayana" and he announced the film with huge enthusiasm in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the filmmaker had no idea back then that it was going to be the most horrible experience of his career and that he shouldn't have modernized the epic. ## The movie had already become the centre of controversy when the first teaser was dropped last year. The teaser was slammed for the poor VFX and the wrong depiction of the characters of Ramayana. This forced the makers to postpone the release from January 2023 to June, however, these efforts didn't prove enough as the characterization and the basic plot of the film, which invited controversy, couldn't have been replaced. ## "Adipurush" was released in theatres on June 16, and despite the huge worldwide opening of over 100 crores, the movie couldn't survive for long at the box office after receiving poor critics and audience reception. A subject, which could have re-write box office history for the Indian cinema, succumbed to its mediocrity and also brought a lot of negativity to the talent involved. ## The film was made on a budget of over 400 crores, making it one of the costliest films ever in Indian cinema, and it finished below 400 crores at the global box office. ## Here is the final box office breakdown of Adipurush (All Versions)## India Net Collection - 288.15 Cr.

Box Office: Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' To Fall Short of 300 Crores Net Collection Mark

Mumbai, November 21 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's spy action thriller Tiger 3 is heading towards finishing a little under 300 crores net box office mark in India. The movie had another drop of around 10-15% today which is a normal drop during the weekdays. ## Directed by Maneesh Sharma, "Tiger 3" reached around 244 crores net in all versions in the first 10 days. The film will have one more week to have a free run before "Animal" and "Sam Bahadur" arrive on December 1st to make life difficult for it. ## The third instalment in the Tiger franchise practically has 10 days left to collect as much as it can but still, the film is highly unlikely to top 300 crores net box office mark, a benchmark which was looking like a cakewalk before the release of the film. ## With the current trend and considering no real challenge before December 1st, "Tiger 3" is looking to finish around 280-290 crores net collection, which is no way a small number but surely underwhelming for a franchise like "Tiger" which is a part of YRF's Spy Universe, the biggest action franchise. ## "Tiger 3" will end up as a successful venture but Yash Raj Films will surely consider it a missed opportunity to have another solid blockbuster after "Pathaan". The movie opened to mixed reviews which might have dented its chances to have a long run but the cricket World Cup matches have also cost it at least 30 crores which could have easily taken it past 300 crores net. ## YRF opted for a unique release strategy for the film as it is a rare Bollywood film to have opened on Sunday, that too on the day of Diwali. A traditional Friday release could have massively benefitted it during the long Holiday period. It might still enter the 300 crores net club but for which, a super solid third weekend is a must. ## At the worldwide box office, "Tiger 3" has scored around 390 crores so far, and is looking to finish around 450-500 crores gross. The second instalment of the franchise, "Tiger Zinda Hai" grossed over 550 crores worldwide in 2017 and it will most likely remain the biggest grosser in the franchise. ## Stay tuned...

'Ganapath: A Hero Is Born' Final Worldwide Box Office Collection

Mumbai, November 20 - Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon's sci-fi actioner Ganapath: A Hero Is Born has completed its painful journey at the box office with zero return. Vikas Bahl's directorial film was touted to be a never-before-seen before sci-fi thriller but the audiences didn't turn to see it in theatres. ## Produced by Pooja Entertainment, "Ganapath" was released on October 20 during the Dussehra weekend but its fate was almost sealed after it opened to a disaster number of 2.50 crores net. The extremely negative reviews and audiences' word of mouth made sure it died down in the opening weekend itself with a net collection of 7 crores. ## Though the collections of the film were negligible after the opening weekend, the lack of a big release kept it in theatres for a couple of weeks. It has now been completely removed from cinemas and the final worldwide box office collection is under 20 crores which is nowhere near its massive budget, said to be over 150 crores. ## Here is the final box office breakdown of Ganapath - A Hero Is Born## India Net Collection - 13.00 Cr. Approx.## India Gross Collection - 15.50 Cr.## Overseas Collection - 2.50 Cr. (estimated)## Worldwide Collection - 18.00 Cr.## Box Office Verdict - All-Time Disaster## "Ganapath" is the lowest-grossing film for Tiger Shroff, even lower than "Heropanti 2" which was released last year and grossed around 30 crores worldwide. "Ganapath" had much bigger expectations than "Heropanti 2" with the kind of star cast and massive scale but it disappointed on every front. ## Stay tuned...
