Box Office: Attack - Part 1 Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 1 - John Abraham's "Attack - Part 1" struggled on the first day at the box office. The science fiction action film, directed by Lakshya Raj Anand, had big expectations before its release, but those expectations couldn't meet with reality, at least on the release day as early estimates suggest it opens in the 3 crores range. "Attack" no doubt was up against "RRR" and "The Kashmir Files" at the box office, but it still had a lot of potential to do well and take the opening of 5+ scores, which did not happen. It needs to cover lost ground in the next two days to score a respectable weekend total of 12-13 crores. The movie is based on the concept of a super soldier, which is new in Indian cinema. However, the movie received criticism for the execution of this novel subject, but the performance of the primary cast is being praised by critics and audiences alike. John Abraham has penned the story of "Attack", which is produced by Jayantilal Gada, Ajay Kapoor, and Bhaumik Gondaliya under the banner of Pen India Limited and AK Productions.

SS Rajamouli Scores Hat-Trick Of Centuries With RRR In Hindi

Mumbai, March 30 - SS Rajamouli is in the top form at the box office. The maverick filmmaker scored his third consecutive century and maintained his 100% success ratio in the elite 100 crores club in Hindi. It all began with Prabhas-fronted "Baahubali" in 2015, which also happened to be a debut for both SSR and Prabhas in the key box office market. ## The filmmaker's latest offering "RRR" with Jr. NTR, and Ram Charan in the lead has crossed the 100 crores net mark in Hindi, and it took just 5 days to reach there. As mentioned in the previous articles, "RRR" has become the joint-fastest to reach the box office milestone in post-pandemic time. ## Set in 1920, the period action drama film has scored 107.59 crores net in 5 days and will cross "Baahubali" (118.5 cr.) today (most probably) to become Rajamouli's second biggest-grosser after "Baahuabli 2" (510.99 cr.). Though the BB2's record is looking a far cry, the latest outing is poised to go big as it might finish over 250 crores net. Worldwide, it has already grossed 600 crores.## Rajamouli has become a top name in the modern era of filmmaking. He provides larger-than-life cinema that directly turns into a massive box office outcome. His "RRR" falls in the same category that gives audiences experience worth their money. Such has been the magic of Rajamouli's filmmaking with powerful performances of the lead cast that despite high ticket prices, which are up to 2500 rs., the audiences are willing to pay to experience this cinematic masterpiece. ## "RRR" is not only getting well-deserved appreciation in India but also overseas where the movie is equally being loved by the audiences and critics. The Tomatometer approved film critic and writer at Variety, Courtney Howard called "RRR" "an invigorating, indelible EXPERIENCE". ## It was, however, not easy for Rajamouli and the team of "RRR" to bring the movie on the big screen as its release was postponed multiple times due to the covid-19 pandemic. However, the makers were committed to bringing the film to the big screen which is now visible as to why they waited for so long. ## With "RRR", Jr. NTR and Ram Charan have also opened their account in the 100 crore club in Hindi. While Ram Charan has already worked in a Hindi movie called "Zanjeer", it was the debut Hindi outing for Jr. NTR. SS Rajamouli, meanwhile, will be working on his next Pan-India film with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. It will go on floors sometime next year and as said by the filmmaker himself, the upcoming movie will be bigger than "RRR" and "Baahubali" films. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Bachchhan Paandey Scores A Disastrous First Week

Mumbai, March 25 - Sajid Nadiadwala's "Bachchhan Paandey" has proved to be one of the biggest disastrous films for Akshay Kumar at the box office. The action comedy film, directed by Farhad Samji, could never get the momentum an Akshay Kumar film used to be. Despite a decent to a good start, BP couldn't hold well over the weekdays, resulting in finishing below the 50 crores mark at the domestic BO. Over the first week, BP scored approx. 48.66 crores in India. The movie got mixed WOM but it surrendered to "The Kashmir Files", which remained the first choice for the moviegoers. The showcasing of "Bachchan Pandey" will be reduced significantly due to the new release in the form of "RRR", which is all set to swipe screens and set the box office on fire. BP only has 71 shows in Mumbai on its 8th day, which are too low to generate a few extra crores for the movie. Keeping all the aspects aside, the makers of "Bachchan Pandey" will really feel unlucky to see their film released in the middle of the unexpected box office blockbuster TKF, and potential box office king, "RRR". Had BP been released in normal times, the BO fate of it might have been a different one. About This Movie This film is directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Bachchan Pandey stars Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Pankaj Tripathi in key roles. Stay tuned...
