Box Office: Doctor G Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 14 - Ayushmann Khurrana's latest box office outing Doctor G has been released in theaters today. The film came from very less hype and even the makers did not promote it like other Ayushmaan Khurrana starrers. The trailer of the film received a lukewarm response from the audience while the music was even downer.## The film took a so-so opening at the box office but considering this film stars Ayushmaan Khurrana, the opening is decent during these times. The reason for the slack in the opening was the genre of the film as these types of urban comedies are not the best bets for the box office point of view after the pandemic as they look more like an OTT film rather than a big screen spectacle.## The early estimates for the opening day suggest 3.50 crores net. The opening of the film is in a similar range as of the last Ayushmaan Khurrana starrer Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. Except for the few urban metro cities, all other centers recorded a washout opening. ## The film has to grow by leaps and bounds on Saturday and Sunday to put a respectable first-weekend collection. Before the pandemic, these types of films used to have huge growth on Saturdays, and sometimes the growth even exceeded the 40-50% mark but in the current box office condition, this type of growth is very tough. The hope is that the film should sustain these collections for a longer period at the box office.## Stay tuned...

Twitter Talk: Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Doctor G' Gets Thumbs Up Against Parineeti Chopra's 'Code Name: Tiranga'

Mumbai, October 14 - Ayushmann Khurrana's campus comedy-drama film Doctor G has been released in theaters today along with Parineeti Chopra and Harrdy Sandhu's spy action thriller Code Name: Tiranga and a few other films. ## Going by the initial reaction from the movie-goers and critics, it seems "Doctor G" will be the first choice of the audience over the weekend along with the Kannada movie Kantara, of which the Hindi version has been released today after creating waves in Kannada. ## Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap in her directorial debut, "Doctor G" is being called hilarious while dealing with a complicated subject where Ayushmann plays a gynecologist. Social comedy-drama has always been Ayushmann's strong zone and it looks like he is back in that after a couple of missed opportunities. ## Apart from Ayushmann, the performances of Rakul Preet Sigh, Shefali Shah, and Sheeba Chaddha are getting big recognition. The direction of the movie is also being praised. The only debatable point of the movie, as per the critics' talks, is the second half where the plot of the movie gets off-track, but overall, the film is getting a very good reception. ## "Code Name: Tiranga", directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, is a spy action thriller but the initial response is average to the movie. The movie had created a decent buzz through teaser/trailer, but the critics are calling it a failed attampt in this genre. The performence Parineeti Chopra along with other actors is praiseworthy but the direction by Ribhu Dasgupta is being criticised. The movie is being called a low to average affair, which might make it tough for it going forward. ## On other other hand, "Kantara" Hindi has recieved super positive reviews from critics and it will give a tough fight to "Doctor G", and other movies. This Rishab Shetty-starrer has potential to outshine all other Hindi movies to take lead going forward, which remains to see.## Stay tuned...

2022 Becomes The First Year To Have Five Indian Movies In 400 Crores Club Worldwide

Mumbai, October 11 - It has been a record-breaking year for the Indian film industry which has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters of all time. There were a lot of doubts about how the movies will perform at the box office in the post-pandemic era, and now, all the questions have been answered, however, complete normalcy at the box office is yet to be achieved. ## On the brighter side of the picture, 2022 has become the first ever year for the Indian film industry to have five films in the 400 crores at the worldwide box office. This has never happened before in Indian cinema where as many as films scored 400 crores globally. The previous highest 400 crores grossing film count in a single year was 4 which was achieved in 2018. ## SS Rajamouli's global blockbuster RRR was the first to achieve this feat this year in March. It went on to gross over 1100 crores worldwide, before Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 outshined it and grossed more than 1200 crores in April and became the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time. ## The third film in the 400 crores club this year was Kamal Haasan's biggest blockbuster Vikram, which was released in June. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, "Vikram" was a surprise entry into the 400 crores club and finished at approx. 414 crores. ## Director Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra Part One: Shiva was the next on the list and currently stands at approx. 430 crores while Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 is the latest entry in this quoted box office club with around 410 crores so far. The current combined gross total of all five films is 3570 crores.## Industry-wise, Tamil cinema is leading the 400 crore club in 2022 with 2 films ("Vikram", and "PS-1") while one each belongs to Telugu ("RRR"), Kannada ("KGF 2"), and Hindi ("Brahmastra"). The common thing among these five films is that all these films result in multiple languages though only "RRR" and "KGF 2" scored higher numbers in other languages. ## In 2018, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's "2.0" (744 cr.), Ranbir Kapoor's "Sanju" (588 cr.), Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's "Padmaavat" (585 cr.), and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer "Andhadhun" (438 cr.) had scored 400+ crores at the worldwide box office. In 2023, there are plenty of tentpole titles that have the potential to gross 500 crores globally (will bring a report on that soon).## Stay tuned...

Adipurush Makers Adopt Right Approach To Make People Change Their Minds

Mumbai, October 9 - A lot has happened over the past week regarding director Om Raut's magnum opus film Adipurush. The teaser of this Prabhas-fronted film was launched on October 3 amid huge anticipation, however, after its release, the teaser has become the center of controversy and criticism on various fronts. ## Based on the Hindu epic Ramayana, "Adipurush" is a VFX-heavy film that has become a huge topic of discussion. Immediately after the teaser launch, it received heavy criticism for poor VFX shots which were called cartoonish. However, the first reaction from director Om Raut to the criticism was that he didn't make the movie for mobile and that it will look larger-than-life on the big screen. ## Since "Adipurush" has been made on a huge budget, it was important for the makers to shut down the criticism and win public trust again for the movie that is touted to be the most prestigious film in the country. While doing so, makers approached a way that changed the perception of the audience towards it.## Om Raut has been saying from the first day that "Adipurush" will be an altogether new theatrical experience, and to solidify his words, the makers showed the teaser to the Hindi media people and critics on the big screen in 3D and those who were criticizing started applauding the teaser for the grandeur it involves. ## The makers did the same with the Telugu version and along with the media and critics, the Telugu teaser was also screened for the audience in approx. 60 locations. And the response from them has been completely different from what they were talking about earlier. ## Apart from criticizing the VFX, the teaser has also invited fresh controversy as many have alleged that the characters of "Ramayana" have been tampered with, and one of them is the look of Raavan, played by Saif Ali Khan. This is not the first time when films on historical and mythological topics hit controversy but this time, the makers are tackling this situation in rather a positive way. ## Om Raut along with Manoj Muntashir, who has written the dialogues of the film, have been giving intreviews from the last few days, making people understand their vision and this has made a positive impact as many prominent personalities have come out in the support of the film along with the neutral audience. ## It has been seen in the past that after such heavy trolling of a movie, makers have opted wait and watch policy. The "Adipurush" makers could also have said that people's mindset will be changed after watching the movie, but they aren't doing this and heavily promoting their film in what can be termed as a perfect and right way.## "Adipurush" is produced by T-Series and Retrophiles and also stars Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunny Singh in prominent roles. It is scheduled to release on January 12, 2023, in multiple languages, also in IMAX and 3D.## Stay tuned...
