Box Office: Ek Villain Returns First Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 29 - The much anticipated Ek Villain Returns has been released today. The music of the film has once again proved to be the biggest plus point though it is not at the level of the first part that was released in 2014. The music of Ek Villain in 2014 proved to be one of the biggest hits of the last decade (2010-2019). The film took a decent start in the morning as major multiplexes have recorded a decent walk-ins crowd. The film is for the mass-youth audience and if the film gets acceptance by them then there are higher chances of the film to succeed. The early estimated collections for the first day suggest 6.50 crores net which is a healthy first-day collection but if you look at it from the other angle then the first part of this film has scored almost 17cr net on the first day Wayback in 2014. It is very important for medium-sized films to get an audience. If Ek Villain Returns grows on Saturday and Sunday and then eventually holds well on weekdays then the industry might get some relief from the recent spree of disasters. The film has scored better first-day numbers than many big films released in the last few months About This Movie This film is directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ekta Kapoor under the banners of T-Series and Balaji Motion Pictures. Ek Villain Returns stars John Abraham, Disha Patani, Tara Sutaria, and Arjun Kapoor in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shamshera Ends First Week On A Disappointing Note

Mumbai, July 29 - Yet another Yash Raj Films production bites the dust as Ranbir Kapoor-fronted biggie Shamshera, also starring Sanjay Dutt, and Vaani Kapoor, succumbed in the first week itself without putting up even a fight at the box office. ## Directed by Karan Malhotra, "Shamshera" was YRF's best bet among the five films in its current slot. The initial response to the movie was positive, as far as advance booking is concerned, but it couldn't sustain that momentum and ended up the first week with approx. 41 crores net, which is disastrous, to say the least. The worldwide gross collection is a little over 52 crores marks.## The period action drama film, which is made on a budget of around 150 crores, got largely affected by the reviews from critics, who slammed the movie left, right, and center as if, it was the worst movie ever made in Bollywood. The word of mouth was mixed, but that was not going to save the film from the wrath of self-claimed critics. ## "Shamshera" has nothing left in its show from hereon as it is another Bollywood movie post-pandemic to ended up becoming a one-week wonder. With "Ek Villain Returns" releasing today, things become even more difficult for Ranbeer Kapoor-starrer to retain screens. ## Yash Raj Films' next release is Shah Rukh Khan's comeback movie "Pathaan", which is scheduled to release on January 25, 2023. Later, the studios' "Tiger 3", starring Salman Khan will release on Eid 2023. YRF has had great success with the Tiger franchise while "Pathaan" is a new entry in its spy universe. Both the movies are huge, and will surely bring back YRF to its strong feat.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shamshera First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 28 - Shamshera is heading towards yet another disappointing day at the box office which has been proved a norm as the early estimate collections suggest 1.75 crores net on the first Thursday. Today is the last day of the film's first week and the film won't be collecting that much from here on due to the outright rejection from the audience and new releases. Tomorrow will also see the release of Ek Villain Returns which will take away most of the screens and shows from Shamshera. The first week of business of Shamshera will end up just a little short of the 42cr net mark which is nothing but a disaster collection from a huge canvas film backed by the biggest banner. The Overseas business of the film is also very disheartening considering the pull of Ranbir Kapoor. About This Movie This film is directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor in key roles.

Opening Day Box Office Prediction For John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor's 'Ek Villain Returns'

Mumbai, July 28 - Another Friday arrives and there is another big Bollywood film, in the form of "Ek Villain Returns", releasing in theaters. But the biggest question remains to answer, will fortune change this time? or will it meet the same fate as the previous films? It is something that is very difficult to predict in these changing box office dynamics post-pandemic. ## There was a time when Bollywood was the synonym for Blockbuster, however, that time has become a thing of the past as the blockbuster status, nowadays, becomes a blue moon for the industry. Forget about blockbuster or hit or superhit, taking a decent to good opening has become a hard nut to crack for the Hindi film industry despite a lot of promises. ## Talking about the Mohit Suri-directed "Ek Villain Returns", one thing is sure the stakes are not that high in this film as compared to the last Friday's release "Shamshera" of which, the box office result is there for everyone to see. The dismal show of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer could actually benefit EVR, which is looking to take a decent to a good start and the rest, makers hoping, the content will do the job for them. ## The advance booking of the film is around 2 crores gross (till 3:30 PM on July 28), which may not look big, but definitely decent, considering it was opened just 48 hours before the movie officially releases in theaters on July 29. Looking at the advance booking so far and the fact that it is a sequel to a successful film, the opening is expected somewhere between 5-6 crores. ## "Ek Villain Returns" is a kind of film that doesn't rely on heavy advance and hence, this 2 crores, which is likely to finish somewhere around 3 crores before the first show starts, can be seen as a positive trend so far. To keep our expectations low is a safe bet nowadays and thus, the opening of 5-6 crores is looking sure shot, but the industry is hoping at least 8 crores starts as spot booking is expected to be good as compared to advance. ## Produced by T-Series and Balaji Motion Pictures, "Ek Villain Returns" is reportedly eyeing a wide release on over 3000 screens across the country. The theatrical runtime this John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, and Disha Patani, is also in check with around 2 hours 8 minutes. We are hoping this film will get better results than the previous films at the box office and there is a decent buzz to justify that. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shamshera First Wednesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 27 - Shamshera continues to falter ahead as the early estimated collections for the first Wednesday suggest 2.25 crores net which is a disaster collection for such a massive canvas film. The first Wednesday collections will take the entire collections of Shamshera to a little under 40cr net box office collections and there will be too few collections to come from here and the film might even struggle to reach the 50cr net box office mark. The fate of the film was sealed on the first day only when the film took an underwhelming opening being a frontloaded-mass film that is all about initials. The film will face a massive loss theatrically on both fronts be it domestic or overseas.

Filmmaker Karan Malhotra Breaks His Silence On 'Shamshera' Criticism

Mumbai, July 27 - Yet another Yash Raj Films production bites the dust as period action drama "Shamshera" failed to make any impact at the box office. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and Vaani Kapoor, was largely hit by the poor reviews from critics. ## Karan Malhotra directed this biggie which is his 3rd directorial. While his first two films "Agneepath" (2012), and "Brothers" (2015) were commercially successful, the latest film couldn't extend his winning run as it crashed, earning approx. 37 crores net 5 days.## Opening up on the failure of the film, Karan Malhotra has penned a note referring to the character of the film played by Ranbir. While the filmmaker apologies for not speaking up till now, he seems to have been affected by the hate and rage targetting at him and the star cast. Under the hashtag #Shamsheraismine, the filmmaker takes blame for the criticism movie is receiving.## "My withdrawal was my weakness and there are no excuses for it. But now I am here, standing beside you hand in hand feeling proud and honored that you are mine. Will face everything together, the good the bad, and the ugly. The love, the blessings, and the concern that have been showered upon us are the most precious and nobody can take that away from us", Malhotra said in the note. ## Shamshera is mine! #Shamshera #Shamsheraismine pic.twitter.com/MZyCfaeHFB— Karan Malhotra (@karanmalhotra21) July 27, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shamshera First Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 26 - Shamshera has been rejected at the box office and how. The daily collections of the film suggest that this sort of rejection of a huge film was last seen in Ranbir Kapoor's film 2015 Bombay Velvet. There is Samrat Prithviraj from the same banner just a few weeks back but at least Samrat Prithiviraj had shown a decent trajectory over the first weekend and after the weekend the film did not crash like Shamshera. The first Tuesday collections are set to be around 2.50cr net box office collections as far as early estimates are concerned. This will take the total collections of the film to a little over 37 crores net mark and there will be too little to come from now onwards. The film might struggle to reach even 50cr net box office collections which will be a shocking thing, to say the least. There will be many excuses and blame games but the biggest negative point of the film was the content which did not cater to the mass audience of Hindi states. On top, Ranbir Kapoor does not have a mass following which is a must for a frontloaded film. Then comes music which could not help the film to build some initial hype. About This Movie This film is directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor in key roles.

Om Raut Inks A Multi-Film Deal With Producer Bhushan Kumar

Mumbai, July 26 - Director Om Raut has signed a multi-film deal with producer Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. The duo is currently working on, probably the biggest film for them, Prabhas-fronted "Adipurush", and it is said that Bhushan Kumar left super impressive with Raut and signed him for more films. ## Om Raut made his Hindi directorial debut with Ajay Devgn's "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior", which was co-produced by T-Series. The film became a massive hit and Om Raut's direction was praised to the top. On top of that, the movie was awarded National Award for Best Film in Providing Wholesome Entertainment along with Devgn winning the Best Actor award. ## The deal between Om Raut and T-Series is said to be existing much before the release of Tanhaji and now, the duo is further strengthening their collaboration by doing more films together. ## It has been reported that Bhushan Kumar has great belief in Om Raut's vision as a filmmaker and has provided him with the budgets that justify the scale of the film. Their second film together, that is "Adipurush", is reportedly the costliest Bollywood film ever with a budget of around 500 crores. The movie is expected to break all the box office records once it comes out in cinemas on January 12, 2023. ## The director, meanwhile, has also reportedly confirmed his deal with the producer, according to Pinkvilla, "Honesty and Loyalty is what matters the most to me. I have built a relationship with Bhushan Ji over a period of time and there's nothing that can break this bond. I am committed to make more films for T Series", Raut said. ## Meanwhile, this latest development has also put breaks on the reports of Raut directing the superhero movie "Shaktimaan". It was recently reported that the makers had approached Raut to direct "Shaktimaan", which was announced earlier this year by Sony Pictures India. Because of the new deal, Raut is unlikely to come on board this mega-budget film. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shamshera First Monday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 25 - Shamshera is moving towards a low day at the box office after a below-average opening weekend of around 32 crores net. As per the early estimates, the movie scored approx. 3.75 cr. net on its first Monday (4th day). The drop from the first day or first Sunday is massive as both the first day and first Sunday had similar collections. The drop is not a problem but the drop is coming after a very low starting point for such a massive film makes it a disaster of epic proportion. The first Monday collections will take the entire collections of Shamshera to over 35cr net box office mark and there will be too little to come from hereon. The next week will see a big release in the form of Ek Villain Returns which will take most of the screens from Shamshera. Shamshera is another disaster for Yash Raj Films which is the biggest banner of Hindi films after Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Samrat Prithviraj. They have huge films lined up and they have to fire otherwise the banner will face massive losses. About This Movie This film is directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor in key roles.

'Jai Bhim' Director TJ Gnanavel To Make His Bollywood Debut With 'Dosa King'

Mumbai, July 25 - Junglee Pictures has announced its next film, an epic thriller drama "Dosa King". The studio has collaborated with the Tamil director, T.J. Gnanavel, who famously directed the Suriya-starrer "Jai Bhim". "Dosa King" marks his debut in Bollywood cinema. ## "Dosa King" is inspired by a woman called Jeevajothi Santhakumar and her tribulation with a restaurant mogul and hotelier P. Rajagopal, an accused in a 2001 murder case. P. Rajagopal was accused of a crime that shocked the nation resulting in a conviction after a trial that went on for 18 years - P.Rajagopal v. State of Tamil Nadu.## Sharing his excitement, Gnanavel, said, "I've observed the subject closely, following the case during my days as a journalist. I hope to bring out new dimensions through Jeevajothi's legal battle on screen. Today, directing this project & working on its characters feels surreal. I'm excited to begin this journey with Junglee Pictures which is known for developing some of the most iconic films in contemporary Indian Cinema".## The story of the upcoming film depicts Jeevajothi's fight against a powerful opponent, the owner of one of the largest South Indian restaurant chains in the world. An Indian restaurateur, better known as a family man who was worshipped for his huge-hearted generosity by not only his employees but also by the diners.## As per media reports, Rajagopal, who was the founder of the popular South Indian food chain - Saravana Bhavan, wanted to marry Jeevajothi, who was the daughter of one of his employees at his restaurant. ## Jeevajothi, however, was already married. To change things in his favor, Rajagopal hatched a criminal conspiracy to eliminate her husband, Prince Santhakumar. And in 2001, Prince Santhakumar was murdered and his body was found in Kodaikanal city of Karnataka. Rajagopal was eventually convicted for the murder of Jeevajothi Santhakumar's husband by the Supreme Court, a justice that was delivered almost two decades after the crime.## Junglee Pictures acquired the rights for the story of Jeevajothi Santhakumar in July 2021. Bhavani Iyer has penned the script of the film.

Box Office: Shamshera First Sunday Early Estimates; Remains Flat

Mumbai, July 24 - Shamshera is heading towards yet another low day at the box office as the early estimated collections are set to be in the same range as the first two days. The collections are likely to be between 10.50-10.75cr net box office collections. There was a hope that the film will see a growth of around 50% on Sunday as the first two days' collections were low but the numbers on Sunday shocked the entire trade. The first-weekend collection is just a little over 31 crores mark. There is no center that is recording even a decent footfall. Getting this sort of low collection with this sort of ticket pricing is nothing but disastrous. Delhi-NCR which was leading from the front in collections has started getting hit by bad word of mouth. Shamshera is moving towards a huge disaster film no matter how the film will going to hold on the first Monday as the fate of the film has been sealed in the first weekend only. The bad phase of the industry continues as huge films continue to bite the dust. There is some hope for the next two biggies Laal Singh Chaddha and Rakshabandhan. About This Movie This film is directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor in key roles.

Laal Singh Chaddha, Vikram Vedha And Bhaijaan Will Be A Crucial Test For Bollywood Box Office

Mumbai, July 24 - The scenario of the box office has undergone a drastic change post the pandemic. Nowadays the movies are struggling to register a double-digit opening despite intense promotions and a huge number of screens. This trend makes flops much better verdict in recent times as the majority of the movies are ending up as disasters. ## Movies like 83, Samrat Prithiviraj, Bachchan Paandey, and now Shamshera to site some examples. The main reason why movies fail to get core audiences is that it fails to create curiosity among the audiences and offer them something new. The only major success that we can pinpoint post-pandemic is Sooryavanshi, The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Now the low opening trend is a major concern for upcoming movies like Laal Singh Chaddha, Vikram Vedha, and Bhaijaan. But still, there are hopes from these movies and the fate of whom would finally answer the question of whether Bollywood is still star oriented or not. ## Opening day figures of movies majorly depend upon the star power rather than that of the content basically, and there have been instances where many average movies have managed to register huge openings before the pandemic. Some well-known examples of the above-mentioned are Salman Khan's Race 3 and Bharat also Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan.## Other internal factors like music, trailer, etc also play a major role in pulling the audiences to the big screens too. Post pandemic Akshay Kumar is the only major star who has released his movies but the problem with him is that he comes on big screens every 2 months and due to this over-exposure, he is not able to pull large crowds as a superstar should have done but still in 2022 he has managed to register two 10+ crore opening which other stars are struggling to achieve.## But on the brighter side of things, the hopes for a revival of the box office are high as Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, the two Superstars who dominated the box office last decade are coming with big movies in the months to come.## Stay tuned...
