Box Office: Haunted 3D Surprises As Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga, And Governor Open On Expected Lines

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 13 - The crowded June 12 box office clash has produced an unexpected winner, with Vikram Bhatt's horror thriller Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past emerging as the strongest opener among the major Hindi releases. Despite facing competition from star-driven films such as Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Main Vaapas Aaunga, and Governor: The Silent Saviour, the horror film managed to attract audiences on its opening day and take the lead at the ticket counters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to estimates, Haunted 3D collected around 2.5 crore net on its first day in India, outperforming all the notable new releases. The film appears to have benefited from strong interest among horror fans and the brand value associated with Vikram Bhatt's earlier horror successes. Its opening is being viewed as a pleasant surprise, especially considering the intense competition it faced from multiple releases. Meanwhile, Main Vaapas Aaunga, directed by Imtiaz Ali, opened on expected lines with collections in the 1.15 crore range. The film managed to edge past Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata and secure the second position among the Hindi releases of the day. While the opening numbers are modest, the film's target audience and word-of-mouth will be crucial in determining its long-term theatrical prospects. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata also recorded an opening close to industry expectations. The film, based on the heroic efforts of nurses during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, collected around 1 crore net on its first day amid stiff competition at the box office. Manoj Bajpayee's Governor also performed on the expected lines, bringing in around 90 lakh net. The film now relies heavily on positive audience feedback and weekend growth to improve its theatrical trajectory. The battle, however, is far from over. With multiple films catering to different audience segments, the weekend trend will determine whether Haunted 3D can maintain its surprise lead or if Main Vaapas Aaunga and Bharat Bhagya Vidhata can gain momentum through word-of-mouth. For now, the horror genre has once again demonstrated its ability to punch above its weight at the Indian box office.

Haunted 3D Leads Bollywood's 4-Way Clash; Advance Gross 17% Higher Than Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga

BY SACNILK

Bollywood is gearing up for a massive four-way clash this Friday, June 12, with a diverse range of films hitting the big screens. From psychological horror and period romances to financial thrillers and rescue dramas, there is plenty on the plate for moviegoers. The advance booking trends for these films are now coming in, and the ticket sales give us a fair idea of how they might perform on their opening day. Let's take a closer look at the numbers these films have managed to rake in so far. Leading the pack in terms of both revenue and volume is Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past, directed by Vikram Bhatt. Serving as a sequel to the 2011 cult classic, the film brings back Mimoh Chakraborty in an atmospheric horror story. The movie has sold approximately 40,000 tickets across the country, resulting in an advance gross of roughly ₹71.4 Lakhs. Looking at the major national chains, PVR has contributed around ₹5.7 Lakhs, while INOX and Cinepolis have added roughly ₹4 Lakhs and ₹3.8 Lakhs respectively. The multi-format release in 2D and 3D seems to be a major pull for horror fans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Following is Imtiaz Ali's highly anticipated period drama, Main Vaapas Aaunga. With music by A.R. Rahman, the film explores a cross-generational love story heavily rooted in the nostalgia of the 1947 Partition. Produced on a budget of about ₹70 Crore, the film has sold roughly 21,000 tickets so far, bringing its advance gross to approximately ₹61 Lakhs. The multiplex performance looks solid, with PVR bringing in around ₹22.6 Lakhs and INOX adding about ₹12.1 Lakhs. Trade expectations suggest the film needs a strong opening day in the range of ₹5 to ₹7 Crore to maintain a healthy theatrical value. Next up is Governor: The Silent Saviour, a biographical political drama directed by Chinmay D. Mandlekar. The plot revisits the 1990 Indian economic crisis, focusing on the events that saved the nation from bankruptcy. The makers utilized a distinct marketing strategy by offering the first 25,000 tickets at a retro rate of ₹50, which has certainly helped drive interest. So far, the film has sold about 22,000 tickets, resulting in an advance gross of roughly ₹56.3 Lakhs. In the national chains, PVR is leading with roughly ₹21 Lakhs, followed by INOX at approximately ₹9.9 Lakhs and Cinepolis at around ₹4.5 Lakhs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Rounding off the clash is Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, a rescue thriller directed by Manoj Tapadia. The film features Kangana Ranaut as a brave nurse and uncovers untold chapters of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Ahead of its release, the film has managed to sell approximately 22,000 tickets, bringing its advance gross to about ₹54.3 Lakhs. The breakdown for major chains shows PVR at around ₹16.2 Lakhs, INOX at roughly ₹8.7 Lakhs, and Cinepolis adding about ₹4.1 Lakhs. As a film honoring unsung heroes, it adds a patriotic flavor to this weekend's competitive lineup. With four mid-to-high budget films releasing on the same day, the audience's attention is clearly divided. While the horror genre is currently leading in terms of ticket volume, the directorial brands and star power across the other releases are expected to drive significant walk-in footfalls on Friday. It will be interesting to see which of these stories manages to capture the audience's heart and survive this major box office battle.
