Box Office: 'Munjya' Score Fantastic First Week

Mumbai, June 13 - Producer Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy Munjya ends the opening week with a fantastic collection of over 35 crores net after the miraculous trend during the weekdays with almost no drop from Monday - Thursday. ## The Aditya Sarpotdar's directorial movie cleared the 35 crores mark after scoring an estimated 3.75-4 crores net on its first Thursday. Interestingly, or rather incredibly, the collection of Munjya remained in the range of the 4 crores mark which indicates a long run for the movie at the domestic box office. ## The opening week collection of Munjya is the 7th biggest first week total for a Bollywood movie of 2024. It is expected to remain strong in the second week despite the arrival of Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion and will aim to reach 50 crores mark by the second weekend itself. ## Munjya is the 4th movie in Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe after Stree, Roohi, and Bhediya and is currently the third highest-grosser in the series. The movie has a good chance of beating Bhediya in the long run to become the second-biggest film in the series after Stree. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, June 8 - Maddock Films' production, Munjya is proving all the projections wrong with excellent trends at the box office. The movie opened above expectations on the opening day with approximately 4 crores net and is showing over 60% jump on the second day. ## It was anticipated that the growth on the second would be there but it wouldn't be big due to the lower ticket prices. However, the movie proved all calculations wrong to score an estimated 6.50-7 crores net collection on the first Saturday. ## The total collection of the film is around 10.50+ crores net in two days as the opening weekend is looking to be around 18-20 crores net which is way above the pre-release projections. It will be interesting to see if the movie could touch 20 crores net this weekend as there is the cricket world Cup match of India against Pakistan which may impact the night shows. ## The hold on Monday will be crucial for the film though it is in a fantastic position to score well beyond the weekend as it has found acceptance among its target audiences. As of today, the movie is looking to finish over 50 crores net lifetime which will be a fantastic result. ## Stay tuned...

Rana Daggubati In Talks To Play Aurangzeb With Shahid Kapoor as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj In 'OMG 2' Director Amit Rai's Next

Mumbai, June 8 - Earlier this year, it was reported that Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor would be headlining OMG 2 director Amit Rai's next film on the legendary warrior, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Now, the makers have initiated talks with other actors to come on board. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Amit Rai and his team are in talks with Telugu actor Rana Daggubati to play the role of Aurangzeb in the historical drama film. The actor is said to be the top priority of the makers, however, the logistics need to fall in place for the actor to come on board the film. ## It is said that the movie will chronicle key chapters of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's life and the makers plan to treat it as a thriller, as the backdrop of the feature film is more on the lines of a jail-break by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the era gone by rather than treating it as a biopic. ## The shoot of the movie is expected to commence by the end of this year or early 2025. Shahid, meanwhile, will next be seen in director Rosshan Andrrews' action thriller Deva, scheduled to release in October 2024. The actor also has Pooja Entertainment's film based on the epic Mahabharata. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Munjya Opening Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 7 - The latest entry in Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe, Munjya surprises with a better-than-expected opening at the domestic box office, thanks to the lower-than-normal ticket prices which boosted its prospects. ## The movie has less face value but its connection with the horror-comedy universe, plus reasonable ticket prices seem to have worked wonders as it has taken the opening of 3.50-3.75 crores net, as per the early estimates, which wasn't looking a possibility before the release. ## Munjya scored a decent pre-sales which indicated the opening in the range of 2 crores net but credit should be given to the makers for opting for non-popular prices. The initial word of mouth also seems to be on the positive side which pushes the collection beyond 3 crores net. ## The opening weekend collection of Munjya could well be 13-15 crores net which is a good total. It will then depend on the hold on Monday which will give an idea about where is heading. ## Stay tuned...
