Anees Bazmee Opens Up On The Rumours of Salman Khan Opting Out From No Entry Mein Entry

Mumbai, October 30 - Director Anees Bazmee has broken his silence on the recent rumoured development of the much-awaited sequel of No Entry. Recently, fans were left heartbroken after it was reported that Salman Khan has opted out of "No Entry 2" and the movie was reportedly shelved. ## The rumours about "No Entry 2" getting shelved picked the momentum after Bazmee announced his collaboration with Zee Studios for an action comedy film. However, the makers have been keeping mum about "No Entry 2", but now, Bazmee has made things clear about what is reality. ## According to the Times of India, the filmmaker has denied rumours about the movie and said that he is waiting for Salman Khan's nod to go ahead with the film. "I'm reading about the No Entry Mein Entry speculations and all this is news to me", Bazmee said.## "If Salman Bhai is willing to do the film, we will make it. If he doesn't want to do it, we will not do it. I am waiting for his call. Whenever I meet him I'll ask him what to do about the film", the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 director added.## While Anees Bazmee's reaction doesn't clear the air on whether the film will get made without Salman Khan or not, it certainly reiterates the fact that there's still a lot of uncertainty around this much-anticipated sequel which was once supposed to start production by the end of 2022. ## Stay tuned...

Thank God Fifth Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 29 - Thank God which had poor collections on the first four days has shown growth on the first Saturday of its box office run. Although the growth is not much it is better to see growth to show that the film is not outright rejected though Thank God is very close to being a rejected film.## The early estimate collections on the first Saturday suggest approx. 3.75-4 crores net box office collections which is again a poor collection on Saturday as Saturday acts like a partial holiday due to the next day being Sunday. The film has seen a low collection in practically every circuit barring a few where comedy films do well.## The first Saturday collections will take the entire collections of Thank God to a 25.40cr net box office mark depending on the final Saturday collections. The extended weekend is set to be around the 30-32cr mark which the film should reach in the worst case.## Overall Thank God had a disappointing result at the box office considering the Diwali weekend release. The content of the film looked outdated from the trailer itself and audiences today are way smarter than the makers.## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu Fifth Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 29 - Ram Setu which had underwhelming first four days is heading towards a decent day at the box office on its first Saturday of its box office run. The film has witnessed its first growth of the run as well. ## The early estimate collections suggest approx. 7.10 crores net which means the film has shown a growth of approx 20% which is good growth. Saturday is the best day for growth in multiplexes due to the next day being Sunday and as expected the film has put some decent collections in multiplexes. ## The first Saturday collections will take the entire collections of Ram Setu to around 48.75cr net box office collections. There is a huge Sunday holiday to come tomorrow and if the film gets some growth from Saturday then it will be a decent extended weekend for the film with approx 58-60cr net box office mark.## Sunday should record a double-digit mark as Sunday is a huge day for mass centers and Ram Setu is a film that is driven by mass centers. There is a cricket match in India to disturb the collections but that won't affect the much.## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu Fourth Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 28 - Ram Setu, which recorded decent first three days at the box office with 35.40 crores net has shown another drop today at the box office. The film has witnessed a similar drop to yesterday with around a 20% drop depending on the final collections.## The early estimate collections suggest 7 crores net box office mark which will take the entire collections of Ram Setu to around 42.40cr net. The extended weekend collections are looking to be around the 60cr mark unless the film shows huge growth on Saturday and Sunday and goes towards the 65cr mark which is difficult due to less appreciation of the film.## The film did not perform at the expected level at least initially and the hope is that the film crosses the 100cr mark somehow for a decent result at the box office. The mass centers have recorded good collections in the first four days thanks to the popularity of Akshay Kumar in B and C-tier cities.

Thank God Third Day/First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 27 - Thank God which had poor collections on the first two days has dropped down further on the third day of its box office run which is not a good sign for the film as the first two days were not even decent considering the Diwali weekend which is the biggest weekend of the year.## The third-day early estimate suggests approx. 4 crores net box office mark which will mean a drop of around 30-33% from yesterday. Despite the first three days being holidays the film failed to register a double-digit mark on any day. ## There is a clash with Ram Setu which is a far bigger film than Thank God Thank God has got enough capacity to collect 18-20cr easily but since the content has failed to entertain the audience, the collections have also failed.## Today's collections will take the entire collections of Thank God to just a little over the 18cr mark. These are low collections no matter if it is an event film or not but a date is an event in itself. Just like Ram Setu even Thank God has performed poorly in the overseas markets.## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu Third Day/First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 27 - Ram Setu had decent first two days at the box office. The movie witnesses a similar drop on its third day as compared to yesterday, which can be considered a decent hold.## The third-day early estimates suggest 7.75-8 crores net. Like yesterday, even today was a partial holiday in a few circuits and most of the circuits are back to normal. Despite that, the third-day number is not as good as it should have been.## Today's collections will take the entire collections of Ram Setu to around the 34.50cr mark depending on the final third-day collections. The overseas business of the film is poor but that is understandable as these type of films does not have takers overseas.## Ram Setu has performed on lower levels on the first three days but it is not a rejected film from any angle.

The film had a slower start compared to the first day and throughout the day it remained behind. ## The film had a very ordinary first-day collection so a drop from there is a shocking thing for the trade and industry in general. Thank God is another case where the content has gone wrong.## The second-day early estimates suggest approx. 6 crores net which is approx 25% than yesterday. The film is shown a similar drop to its opponent Ram Setu. Today's collections will take the first two days of collections of the film to a little over the 14 crores net mark depending on the final second-day collections.## The film stars Ajay Devgn who is one of the most popular stars and has a huge fanbase but from the trailer, the film appeared like an extended cameo role for him.

Ram Setu Second Day/First Wednesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 26 - Ram Setu which had a good first-day collection mainly due to the mass markets, has shown a drop on the second day which was expected as the first day of the film was the national holiday and that too of post-Diwali day which is the biggest holiday of the year for the box office collections.## Today was a working day in some parts of the country while a few circuits had a holiday so overall today was like a partial holiday for Ram Setu and considering that the collections are decent as it scored an estimated 10.50-11 crores net on the second day. The drop on Wednesday is in the range of 30% compared to the first day. ## Today's collections will take the first two days' collections of the film to a little under the 26cr net mark depending on the final second-day collections.## The film is doing fine in some circuits while the rest are the opposite. Ram Setu needs to sustain on these levels till Sunday for a healthy extended weekend collection. Any further drop will make it very tough in the long run. ## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu and Thank God First Day Collections

Mumbai, October 26 - The big Diwali releases "Ram Setu" starring Akshay Kumar, and "Thank God" starring Ajay Devgn and Siddharth Malhotra released yesterday and both films took low openings in the morning despite the advantage of a huge all-India holiday. ## Ram Setu started getting good audience post the morning shows thanks to excellent walk-ins in mass markets. It collected 15.10 crores net box office collections on the first day and emerged as the biggest Akshay Kumar opener of 2022 beating Bachchan Pandey.## Thank God, on the other hand, struggled to get audiences and as a result, the film only managed to collect 8.10 crores net box office collections which is a low number on post-Diwali day. The film has seen a good collection in the same circuits where comedy genre films tend to do well.## Overall both Ram Setu and Thank God failed to beat last year's Diwali release Sooryavanshi which co-incidentally starred Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. Sooryavanshi collected 26.29cr despite the 50% occupancy rule in Maharashtra and the combined collections of Ram Setu and Thank God are 23.35cr which is almost 3cr less than Sooryavanshi.## The main reason why the combined collections of Ram Setu and Thank God failed to beat Sooryavanshi is the fact that both Ram Setu and Thank God were not event films like Sooryavanshi so there was not much interest among the public to watch the film initially.## Stay tuned...

Thank God Opening Day Early Estimate

Mumbai, October 25 - The other big Diwali release of the day "Thank God" starring Ajay Devgn and Siddharth Malhotra has also been released in theaters today. Unlike Ram Setu, the "Thank God" first trailer was not much appreciated by the audience though it had a hit song and a favorable genre comedy along with the good second trailer. The film had a poor start in the morning much like Ram Setu but Ram Setu started getting the audience after the morning shows which was missing in the case of Thank God. The film is directed by Indra Kumar who remains one of the biggest directors but he has passed his peak way back. ## The early estimates suggest approx. 8.50-9.50 crores net, depending upon mass belts, which is a low number considering the post-Diwali day holiday. But it was expected as these types of nonevent films won't find much audience. Still, the film can put some decent collections in the next couple of days due to the prolonged holidays of Diwali.## Overall it is a decent Diwali for the Industry as both these releases will fall short of last year's Sooryavanshi opening day collections. A minimum of 30cr was expected but it is looking like 23-24cr combined collections on the first day.## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 25 - The huge Diwali release of the day, "Ram Setu" starring one of the biggest stars of the Industry Akshay Kumar has been released in theaters. The film has seen a release of over 3000 screens despite clashing with a big film like "Thank God".## The trailer of Ram Setu was received well by the audience. Post-Diwali day is the biggest day for the box office and this day pushes the film by around a 25-30% margin but that is only for huge event films. Ram Setu is not an event film like Sooryavanshi so the holiday won't benefit the film much though the excitement among the fans was there to see.## The film has fetched a poor advance booking and the advance did not suggest that "Ram Setu" will even touch the 10cr mark but since post-Diwali day is the biggest day for the box office, the walk-ins are bigger than any other day and that enabled the film to score a decent opening day.## The early estimate collections suggest approx. 15 crores net box office mark which is fine for a film like Ram Setu on any other day except for post-Diwali day. A collection of around 18-20cr would have been a good start. The film opens with a 15-20% audience in the morning and that was a killer for Ram Setu.## The opening day came on the strength of a huge holiday and the film should collect well over the next few days to put in a respectable first-weekend number. The stronghold circuits of Akshay Kumar which are basically the mass markets put a strong collections afternoon onwards which is a positive sign for the film.## Stay tuned...

Ram Setu And Thank God Box Office Clash Bollywood

Ram Setu And Thank God Box Office Clash

Mumbai, October 21 - The Diwali 2022 will witness two huge films starring two of the biggest Bollywood stars of the generation colliding against each other at the box office. "Ram Setu" stars Akshay Kumar as a leading star while "Thank God" stars Ajay Devgn & Siddharth Malhotra. ## The buzz for both films is decent to good. Ram Setu had a good trailer and the first song 'Jai Shree Ram' fits the festive season while Thank God had a decent trailer and a hit song. When the trailer and music are decent then everything depends on the star power of the actors and here both Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn are of similar stature stars.## Ram Setu will have the upper hand in multiplexes due to the subject while Thank God will have the upper hand in smaller town single screens. The booking of both films has started and gone by the early response, Both Ram Setu and Thank God are neck to neck. Akshay Kumar has a bigger pull in circuits like Delhi-UP, East Punjab, and Rajasthan while Ajay Devgn has a better pull in Mumbai mainly due to his popularity in Gujarat. ## The biggest plus of both films is that they are coming on the biggest day of the year for the box office and since Diwali is the biggest festival in India, there will be huge walk-in crowds. In history, many huge blockbusters have been released on Diwali from "Mother India" to "Muqqaddar Ka Sikandar" to "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge" & "Raja Hindustani". But in the last 15 years - Diwali did not witness a huge blockbuster. Yes, there were a couple of huge grosses like "Krrish 3" and "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" but those were not as big grosser as they should be. ## The hope is that both films perform well at the box office and put in strong numbers. The combined opening day collections should cross 30cr at the box office at worst and the weekend should cross 100crs. These numbers are achievable even for a single film but since both Ram Setu and Thank God are nonevent films, the expectations are kept less.## Stay tuned...
