Box Office: Ek Villain Returns First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 31 - Ek Villain Returns is heading towards a good day at the box office as the early estimates suggest approx. 8.40 crores net collection which is a good single-day number for a mid-sized film. There is some growth in the mass pockets due to the holiday factor, especially in the tier2 single screens. The major multiplexes continue to disappoint as the footfalls are very low in these premium areas. It would have been a great result if the film had touched the double-digits. Overall, the film scored a near 23cr net box office collection in the first weekend which again is not a big number or even good but considering the situation at the box office and the fate of big event films, the weekend can be called a decent weekend. The collections on Monday are going to be important for Ek Villain Returns. The film should hold well on the weekdays to score healthy numbers in a lifetime and before the arrival of giants Laal Singh Chaddha and Rakshabandhan. 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...

Crucial Time Ahead For Bollywood In The Next Three Months; Will It Bounce Back?

Mumbai, July 31 - The Hindi film industry is at the moment going through a rough patch. Back-to-back failures of big commercial movies have put down the spirits of all the stakeholders. Day by day the audiences, who once used to watch Bollywood movies only are gradually shifting their preferences to other Indian industries as well as foreign ones. ## Movies from Hollywood and Southern states whose dubbed versions are being exhibited in the north have been successful in taking huge openings at the domestic box office which the Hindi film industry is struggling to give post the pandemic. The fact that a movie from the industry which used to dominate the entire country solely is struggling to even cross 15 crore opening is a matter of deep traumatism to the industry as a whole.## Now all the trade analysts and movie lovers have set their sights on the upcoming biggies from Bollywood to see whether the industry succeeds in putting an end to the shortage of blockbusters. One such movie is Laal Singh Chaddha which marks the return of Superstar Aamir Khan back to the big screens after a gap of nearly 4 years. ## Aamir Khan is widely known for his unique approach to marketing movies under his production house. Using the very same approach he managed to make less appealing movies like Peepli live and Delhi Belly hits. He always understands the preference of the audience better than any other contemporaries. The intensity of promotion that he does mainly depends on the scale of the movie. This is the main reason he has a tremendous track record of Successful movies himself and is often regarded globally and domestically as one of the best cinematic minds ever.## It will be a matter of deep curiosity especially owing to the adverse circumstances to see whether Aamir Khan would be successful in putting an end to the famine of hits in the Bollywood industry. Laal Singh Chaddha has an extra advantage of a holiday release. Circumstance looks pretty much favorable to touch the 20-crore opening mark and sometimes even beyond if the movie manages to gather positive reception. ## Apart from Laal Singh Chaddha, there are other strong movies like Brahmastra and Vikram Vedha, which all have immense potential written all over them and are also front runners to give oxygen to the Hindi film industry. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Ek Villain Returns First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 30 - Ek Villain Returns which did well on the first with 7.05 crores net, is showing some growth on Saturday which is a good thing for both film and the industry. The growth is not huge or anywhere close to it but there is some upward trend in many multiplexes and that is enough in the circumstances that the industry is in today. As per the early estimates, the first Saturday collections should be around 7.5 crores net. This will take the first two days' collections to a little over the 14.50cr net mark which is less than the opening day collections of the first part of this film that was released way back in 2014. The Sunday is set for further growth but the growth is unlikely to be huge, hopefully, some mass centers should record good footfalls to ensure a good weekend at the box office compared to the last few weekends. The first weekend collections would be around 25cr (+/-) which is a decent result for not so popular star cast film. Ek Villain Returns will have a decent run at the box office till Laal Singh Chaddha and Rakhabandhan arrive. 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.

Arjun Kapoor Is Thrilled To See 'Ek Villain Returns' Opening On A Good Note

Mumbai, July 30 - Director Mohit Suri's much-anticipated romantic action thriller film Ek Villain Returns was released on July 29 in theaters and brings a much-needed relief by opening on a good note. ## The film, starring John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria, opened with 7.05 crores net which is a good number considering how badly Bollywood movies have faired at the box office this year barring a few. While EVR becomes the biggest opener for Abraham post the covid-19 pandemic, it scored the 5th biggest opening for Arjun Kapoor of all time. ## Arjun Kapoor is super thrilled about the film opening on a good note and believes that it will continue its momentum in the days to come. ## "The fact that Ek Villain Returns opening is the fifth biggest of my career, even while the industry tries to bounce back post-pandemic, is extremely validating. I have consistently tried to do films that connect to the youth and the masses and it feels great to see them enjoy Ek Villain Returns. I'm thrilled with the start that the film has got", the actor said according to Bollywood Hungama. ## "For me, personally, there is a lot to be proud of. The fact that I have been able to contribute to a Bollywood film opening at the counters is validation enough. I’m glad that people are appreciating my performance. I wanted to be a part of an edgy, cool film and the result is something for me to cherish right now", he added. ## EVR is Arjun Kapoor's second theatrical release during the covid-19 pandemic. His last release, YRF's "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar" bombed at the box office, though it got good reviews from critics and audiences alike. Going forward, Arjun has Aasman Bhardwaj's "Kuttey" (4 Nov.) and Ajay Bahl's "The Ladykiller" in the pipeline. ##

Rohit Shetty Reveals Noble Reason Behind Starting Ranveer Singh's 'Cirkus' In The Pandemic

Mumbai, July 30 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is the name associated with Blockbuster cinema in the Bollywood film industry. The maverick filmmaker has never failed to amaze the audiences by making larger-than-life cinema which has been his biggest USP over the years and he continues to stick with that. ## During the covid-19 pandemic, it was Shetty's "Sooryavanshi", which provided much-needed breath to the Hindi film industry by grossing 300 crores at the worldwide box office. It was ready to release in 2020 but thanks to the covid, the makers were forced to push postponed it, and the film was finally released during Diwali weekend in 2021. ## Rohit Shetty's next film is comedy entertainer, "Cirkus", which is scheduled to release on Christmas this year. Shetty said that he always wanted to make this film, but he had a different reason to start this film in the pandemic. ## The "Singham" director has often insisted that his technicians are his biggest strength but because of the pandemic, they were left with no choice but to sit home without any job. During a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Shetty said that he wanted to restart the cycle of filmmaking for his technicians so that they could earn their livelihood. ## "Much like Sooryavanshi, Cirkus also has a history. It was the first film to get into the production stage. So many producers and directors visited our sets to see how we are shooting. This one is for my technicians", he added. ## "Cirkus" is Rohit Shetty's first outright comedy film outside the Golmaal franchise. It also stars Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Murali Sharma, and Varun Sharma in key roles. Shetty has also produced the film under his banner Rohit Shetty Productions, in association with Reliance Entertainment and T-Series. ## Stay tuned...

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.

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. 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.

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...
