'The Kerala Story' Set For A Good Start At The Box Office

Mumbai, May 4 - Director Sudipto Sen's drama film The Kerala Story has been at the center of controversy ever since the trailer was launched. The movie is claimed to have been based on true events and follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who are converted to Islam and join the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). ## There was hardly any buzz around "The Kerala Story" a couple of weeks ago but due to the controversy, everyone is now aware of it which is proving to be advantageous as far as the box office of the film is concerned. The movie has been able to fetch a decent advance booking collection and despite being not a mainstream Bollywood flick, it has better pre-sales than films like "Kuttey" and "Gumraah" which had a bigger star cast and scale.## As of 4 AM on May 5, the pre-sales collection of "The Kerala Story" was approx. 1.25 Cr with around 60K tickets sold for the first day. As far as the opening is concerned, the movie might surprise with a 6-7 crores net start which will be a very good result considering it is not a big-budget film and has less cinematic value. ## Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, "The Kerala Story" is along the lines of director Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" which turned out to be a huge blockbuster last year. TKF took the opening of around 3.50 crores, but word of mouth and controversy helped it big times as it ended up scoring over 250 crores net and over 340 crores gross at the worldwide box office. ## Stay tuned...

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Second Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 30 - Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has shown much-needed growth on the second Sunday of its box office run as the early estimate collections suggest 4.25-4.50 crores net which is a fair number, especially for a film that has not been liked by the audiences. The growth has come mainly in the core mass belts of Hindi circuits where the film has found an appreciation though that is mainly because of the image of Salman Khan. ## The second Sunday box office collections of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan will take the total collections of the film to over 100cr net box office mark, depending where actuals lend. The film has taken around 10 days to cross the 100cr net box office mark which is one of the slowest Salman Khan starrers. The 100cr net box office mark is not a benchmark anymore. This is the 16th film of Salman Khan which crossed 100cr net box office collections and all 16 films were consecutive which makes this achievement even more enviable. ## The film is still not a hit film as it needed to cross 150cr net box office collections for hit status at the box office but the film is looking to finish around 115-120cr net box office collections in the best-case scenario. If the film can touch this number then it will be an average success at the box office. This is another Salman Khan starrer that did not do well at the box office but the next few films of Salman Khan are in the right zone which justifies his superstardom and if the content of those upcoming films connects with the audiences, the sky will be the limit in terms of numbers.## Stay tuned...

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Second Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 29 - Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has shown growth on the second Saturday as the early estimate collections suggest around 3-3.50 crores net collections. This is a low second Saturday for such a big film like KKBKKJ but post-pandemic when most films run out of fuel in the first three days only, here it can be called a decent number.## The second Saturday collections will take the total box office collections of the film to around 96 crores net box office mark depending on the final second Saturday business. The film is looking to cross the 100cr mark by this Sunday and for that, the film needs to show a big growth tomorrow to get a 4.50cr net box office mark. This number should have been crossed way earlier but the film has not performed as per the expectations.## KKBKKJ is heading for around 115cr to 120cr finish at the box office in terms of lifetime numbers. This will lead to the average status for this Salman Khan entertainer. The last few films of Salman Khan have not performed well at the box office as his last hit was Bharat in 2019 which crossed the 200cr net box office mark and his last blockbuster came in 2017 in the form of Tiger Zinda Hai which crossed the 300cr net. The hope is that Tiger 3 will bring the vintage Salman Khan back who set the box office on fire last decade as no other star did in the history of Hindi cinema. ## Stay tuned...

Director Aditya Dhar's 'The Immortal Ashwatthama' Gets Shelved Over Budget Issue

Mumbai, April 28 - Filmmaker Aditya Dhar has been working on his passion project The Immortal Ashwatthama for a long time. It was announced in January 2021 with Vicky Kaushal as the lead. RSVP was on board to produce this mega-budget movie. ## However, the movie has been in trouble which eventually led RSVP to back out as the studio was unable to allot the huge budget Dhar was asking for. Vicky Kaushal too left the movie due to his other commitments. Just when the movie was on the verge of getting shelved, Dhar tried to revive the project by offering it to Ranveer Singh by bringing Jio Studios on board to produce. ## Well, it seems the movie is still not finding its place as the latest reports state that Jio Studios too backed out, and the movie has been shelved for the time being. According to Peepingmoon.com, the studio didn't approve the budget Dhar was asking for as there is a risk involved in making films with huge budgets in the post-pandemic times. ## The report further stated Aditya Dhar has halted the pre-production work and the crew involved with this film has also been relieved now as he understands that there is definitely a big risk with this project. However, "The Immortal Ashwatthama" is Dhar's passion project and he will definitely return to bring it to the big screen but not right now. ## Over the last one year, the movie has been offered to many actors, including Yash, Allu Arjun, and Jr. NTR, but things didn't materialize with them. Ranveer Singh, however, was interested and even gave his verbal nod. Dhar is now looking to explore other projects. ## Stay tuned...

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 27 - Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan struggles on the first Thursday of its box office run as the early estimated collections are heading for around the 3.50cr net box office mark which is a low number. The film is not a big-budget film but still, it's a big film especially because it stars Salman Khan and these numbers are below the mark of what one expects from him. ## The first Thursday business will take the total business of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan to around 90cr net box office mark depending on the actual number of first Thursday. The 100cr net box mark which was expected to cross by the second Friday seems like a distant dream now. The film will cross the 100cr net box office mark but it will be mostly on Saturday or at worst by Sunday. ## The second Friday hold and the growth on Saturday and Sunday will determine where the lifetime business of the film is heading. At the moment it looks like the film will finish its box office run around 125cr net box office mark. ## The mass centers have seen big crowds in all the Hindi circuits due to the face value of Salman Khan and without any doubt he is the biggest in the mass audiences of single screens and smaller towns but the multiplexes especially the bigger ones have rejected the film. ## Stay Tuned...

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan First Wednesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 26 - Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan which took an expected hit in collections yesterday has shown another drop but a better hold today at the box office by registering around 20% fewer collections compared to yesterday. The early estimate collections suggest around 5 crores net on Wednesday. ## The first Wednesday collections will take the total collections of the film to around 88cr net mark and now the 100 crores net in the first week is out of the equation. The film will hit the 100 crore mark on the second Friday or Saturday. It is the hold on the second Friday that will determine the fate of the film at the box office.## The collections and the hold in mass centers are fabulous but at the same time, the multiplexes are recording dull collections. The core Hindi mass belts have seen a good turnout which is a big plus as post-pandemic these audiences were the ones that the Industry has lost and now they are coming back with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. ## The film will be an underperformer at the box office especially because it stars Salman Khan who has a mega box office record since the beginning of the last decade. The word of the mouth of the film has been on the mixed side and that is now coming to the equation. The lifetime business is still hard to predict but the film should do a minimum of 125cr net box office from here on.## Stay tuned...
