Box Office: Bholaa First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 31 - Bholaa which had a decent opening day of 11.20 crores net has shown a drop of around 35% on its second day. The drop was expected as the first day was helped by the partial holiday of Ram Navami and films do drop after partial holidays or national holidays especially when the next day is a working day but here the drop is more than expected especially considering the first day was not a big day at the box office. ## The early estimate collections suggest 7+ crores net on the first Friday. This will take the first two days of collections to around the 18.20cr net box office mark. Tomorrow is Saturday and the film should show a growth of around 20-25% or even more to come at the first-day levels. The combined business of Saturday and Sunday should be around the 30cr net mark for any chance of survival at the box office. ## Single screens continue to draw a big audience, especially in the mass circuits of UP and Bihar, also this is where Ajay Devgn has the biggest popularity. The multiplexes are dull at the moment though the film is being helped by the 3D version which was a smart move from the producers to have a 3D version release.## Stay tuned...

The film has been released on Thursday to take the Advantage of Ram Navami holiday which is huge in the northern circuits and Bholaa as a film caters more to those northern circuits due to the action factor so it was a good decision to come on Thursday. ## Bholaa took a decent opening In the morning shows in terms of occupancies but multiplexes started on a poor note which was expected due to the action film and also Bholaa tilt more towards the dark zone. The opening is well on the single screens due to the Ajay Devgn and action factor and also due to the partial holiday. ## The early estimates of collections are set to be around the 11cr net box office mark which is a decent start for a film like Bholaa if the weekend sees good growth. The opening has given the film a chance to succeed at the box office while the weekend will determine whether it is a hit film or not. The opening of the film is similar to the likes of Shamshera and Samrat Prithviraj though it is lower than Tu Jhuthi Main Makkar and also the last Ajay Devgn film Drishyam2. ## Bholaa might see a drop tomorrow as it will be a working Friday after the first day which was a partial holiday and also it consumed a good chunk of business. The word of mouth will come into play tomorrow and if it is positive then the film will have a good trajectory over the weekend. ##

Natural Star Nani Reacts On Bholaa Vs Dasara Clash At The Hindi Box Office

Mumbai, March 23 - Telugu star Nani is heavily promoting his upcoming period action drama film Dasara in the Hindi belt. Directed by debutante Srikanth Odhela, "Dasara" is scheduled to release on March 30 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. ## "Dasara", which also stars Keerthy Suresh as the female lead, is expected to take a bumper opening at the Telugu box office, however, it won't be that easy in Hindi as it will be clashing with Ajay Devgn's mass action entertainer Bholaa which is slated for same day release. ## "Bholaa" is easily one of the most-anticipated Bollywood films but Nani seems confident about "Dasara". During a recent interview, Nani was asked to comment on Dasara clashing with Bholaa at the Hindi box office to which the Natural Star gave a heartfelt response. ## Nani said that when he came to Mumbai for the first time to promote "Makkhi" (Eaga), Ajay sir was also present in that press conference, so I was introduced here with his support. That's why I am feeling the same now, with his help I am moving forward this time as well. If I was in Mumbai, I would have gone to see Bhola first and then Dasara. ## Stay tuned...

Anubhav Sinha's 'Bheed' Projected To Take A Dull Start At The Box Office

Mumbai, March 23 - Director Anubhav Sinha's drama film Bheed seems to be going nowhere with its pre-sales and chances for its dull start at the box office looming large. ## Starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar, "Bheed" is set during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown in India. It tells the story of how several characters in the film deal with the covid-19 lockdown and migrate to a place they feel safe. ## The movie did hit by controversy, however, despite the desperate attempt, it failed to generate any sort of buzz which was clearly visible in the advance booking which finished below 10 lac gross for the opening day. ## Given the fact that there was hardly any awareness among the moviegoers and dull response in the pre-booking, "Bheed" was always going to struggle at the box office and that's what happened with it with the opening of around 30 lacs. Sinha's last directorial, "Anek" (2022) too bombed at the box office and the prospects are not looking promising for his upcoming film either. ## The lack of curiosity for "Bheed" is set to benefit Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's "Tu Jhoothi Mein Makkaar" for another week before Ajay Devgn's "Bholaa" arrives on March 30. There is Keanu Reeves' "John Wick 4" this weekend but that will mainly acquire the premium screens. Rani Mukerji's "Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway", which is performing at a decent level, might also get the benefit this weekend.## Stay tuned...

Superstar Salman Khan Rejects Aamir Khan's Offer Of Doing RS Prasanna's Film?

Mumbai, March 21 - The Hindi remake of the Spanish film Campeones, which was supposed to be Aamir Khan's next after Laal Singh Chaddha, is still struggling to find its lead hero.## The sports drama movie was to be headlined by Aamir, however, he backed out after his Laal Singh Chaddha tanked at the box office. The actor wanted some time off from acting though he still wants to produce this film under his banner Aamir Khan Productions. ## A few weeks ago, Aamir reportedly offered the script to superstar Salman Khan who liked the idea initially. However, as per the latest reports, Salman might turn it down as things not falling in place.## According to Peepingmoon.com, "Salman recently watched the original Spanish film and suggested some changes in the Hindi adaptation. Aamir and the director are not happy with the changes he has asked for, while Salman also doesn't seem particularly optimistic about the film". ## The report further adds that even though Salman hadn't rejected the movie yet officially, he is unlikely to do due to the disagreement over the script.## Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently gearing up for the release of "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan" on Eid 2023. He will then resume the final leg of "Tiger 3" which is slated for Diwali 2023 release. On the other hand, the actor is going through multiple scripts and looking to finalize one of them to release on Eid 2024.## Stay tuned...

'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar' Crosses 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Barfi!' At The Domestic Box Office

Mumbai, March 21 - Ranbir Kapoor-fronted romantic-comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar is keeping up with study run at the box office during the weekdays. ## After scoring 92.31 crores net in the extended first week, Luv Ranjan's directorial movie did well on the second weekend to score 16.83 crores, a drop of approx. 61% from like-for-like first Fri-Sun weekend. It held well on its second Monday for approx. 2.40 crores, pushing total net collection to over 111.50 crores in 13 days.## TJMM has entered among the top 5 highest-grossing films of Ranbir Kapoor at the domestic box office. On its second Tuesday, the movie crossed the lifetime net collection of Ranbir's "Barfi!" (112.10 crores) and "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" (113.20 crores) to become his 4th biggest net scorer. ## Produced by Luv Films and T-Series, TJMM is Ranbir's 7th 100 crores grosser. It will finish as the 4th biggest of him as it is still approx. 75 crores away from topping "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" which looks unlikely. ## Meanwhile, TJMM is the 6th 100 crores net-grossing film of Shraddha Kapoor's career. The movie has crossed the lifetime net total of "Ek Villain" (105 crores) and "ABCD 2" (106 crores) to become the 4th biggest for the actress and is likely to finish at number 3, ahead of "Stree" which scored approx. 130 crores net.## At the worldwide box office, TJMM is approx. 172 crores and has a shot at crossing 200 crores gross at the end of its run.## Stay tuned...
