'Mission Raniganj', 'Thank You For Coming', and 'Dono' Score Low Opening Weekend At The Bollywood Box Office

Mumbai, October 9 - It was not so good weekend at the Bollywood box office as far as the new releases are concerned. The just concluded weekend saw the release of Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj, all female-led adult comedy-drama Thank You For Coming, and the heart-warming love story Dono, but none of them could carry the momentum Bollywood was going through over the last few months. ## "Mission Raniganj", based on real-life survival thriller events and featuring one of the biggest Bollywood stars, couldn't find audiences in theatres in its opening weekend and scored just a little over 12 crores net collection. The movie needed to score more than the usual jump on Saturday and Sunday after the very low opening day. It did score a big jump on Saturday but was not enough to cover the lost ground and then was affected by the World Cup match on Sunday.## The adult comedy-drama, "Thank You For Coming", didn't get the opportunity to welcome the moviegoers in theatres as it also ended up scoring a very low opening weekend. The opening of the movie itself was low with 1.06 crores net, and despite the jump on Saturday and Sunday, it managed to collect 4.42 crores net in three days. The best it can now hope to score over opening day collection in the weekdays for a decent lifetime total. ## "Dono", a heart-warming romantic drama, starring debutante Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon, was a goner on the opening day itself. It scored around 1 crore net in the opening weekend, joining the list of new releases which failed at the box office. ## Meanwhile, the holdover film, Shah Rukh Khan's mega-blockbuster "Jawan" had a fantastic 5th weekend in Hindi, scoring approximately 6.25 crores net which takes the total Hindi net collection to over 566 crores in 32 days. Excel Entertainment's "Fukrey 3" also did well in its second weekend and scored over 10.50 crores net, pushing the total collection to over 76 crores in 11 days. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Mission Raniganj And Thank You For Coming First Saturday/Second Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 7 - After the shocking opening day, Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj sees a big jump on its second day at the domestic box office but not big enough to cover the lost ground. The movie jumped by around 70% today, but it needed to score over 100% as the opening day was low at 2.80 crores net.## On its first Saturday/second day, Mission Raniganj scored an estimated 4.50-5 crores net, taking the total collection to over 7.50 crores in two days. The two-day collection of the movie should have ideally been the opening day collection which was not the case, and now, so much has been left for it to chase. ## While the damage has already been done, Mission Raniganj can still make up if it shows a similar kind of jump tomorrow on Sunday and then performs on a similar level to today's collection on the first Monday. The three-day opening weekend of the movie is looking to be around 15 crores net which is not good enough for a film featuring Akshay Kumar.## Meanwhile, the adult comedy, Thank You For Coming, which had a low opening day at 1.06 crores net collection, scores a jump of around 40% today for an estimated 1.50 crores net collection. The total collection of the movie is around 2.50 crores in two days and the weekend is looking at 5 crores net.## Stay tuned...

Shahid Kapoor To Headline A Mythological Epic To Be Produced by Vashu Bhagnani

Mumbai, October 7 - Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is gearing up to commence the shoot of director Rosshan Andrrews' cop thriller film which begins later this month. After finishing this, the "Kabir Singh" actor will team up with producer Vashu Bhagnani for a mythological epic, according to Pinkvilla. ## It is said that the project in question is based on one of the most powerful characters of the epic Mahabharata. While the details about the project are not revealed, it will be a VFX-heavy project, mounted on a massive scale. The movie will be directed by a South Indian director. ## It is said that the yet-untitled movie is the most ambitious project for Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment. They have already started developing this movie and are determined to create a never-before-seen visual extravaganza for the audiences. It will go on floors in 2024.## Interestingly, in February 2021, Pooja Entertainment had announced magnum opus Suryaputra Mahavir Karna, and it was supposed to be directed by RS Vimal, best known for his 2015 Mayalayam movie, Ennu Ninte Moideen. However, there has been development on the movie since then and it was assumed to be shelved. ## "Suryaputra Mahavir Karna" is based on the life of Karna from Mahabharata, so there are chances Vashu Bhagnani might be planning to revive it with Shahid Kapoor who was said to be his first choice since the movie was announced. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Mission Raniganj Opening Day Early Estimates; Disastrous Start

Mumbai, October 6 - There was an Akshay Kumar-starrer, Mission Raniganj released this Friday, and the audience was hardly aware of that. The makers haven't even promoted that movie properly, suggesting that they either were too confident or had no hopes for it.## The movie got favourable reviews from critics and the initial word of mouth also seems positive, but because the makers didn't put much effort into promoting it and the lack of awareness among general audiences, there was hardly any opening of the movie at the box office.## Mission Raniganj opened to dull occupancy in the morning and it didn't improve a bit in the next shows as well, as early estimates suggest around 2.75 crores net opening. The final numbers may vary a little bit here and there, but it will still be a disastrous and one of the lowest openings ever for an Akshay Kumar-starrer.## The movie was carrying a low buzz due to obvious reasons, but it was still expected to take even a decent opening as Akshay recently delivered a box office hit in the form of "OMG 2". But again, two quick back-to-back releases were too much to ask for. ## Earlier in the year, Akshay's "Selfiee" opened to similar kinds of numbers and ended up as one of the biggest disasters of his career. If Mission Raniganj doesn't show a big jump on Saturday and Sunday, then a similar fate is inevitable.## Stay tuned...

Superstar Aamir Khan's Next With Director RS Prassana Gets Interesting Title

Mumbai, October 6 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was last seen in "Lal Singh Chaddha" in 2022, has set his next release on Christmas 2024. According to reports, Aamir will be headlining the official adaptation of the Spanish sports dramedy, Champions, with RS Prassana as the director. ## Aamir was supposed to headline the "Champions" adaptation immediately after LSC, but after the later movie failed at the box office, the superstar dropped the idea of taking another remake before he finally decided to headline as well as produce it. The shoot for the same is expected to commence in January 2024 for Christmas release later in the year. ## The pre-production of the movie is going on at a brisk pace. Meanwhile, according to Pinkvilla, Aamir and his team have locked the title which is very much identical to one of his past blockbusters. It is said that the movie has been titled "Sitaare Zameen Par" which is about a sports coach bonding with and training a team of specially-abled kids, much like "Taare Zameen Par", which chronicled the journey of a teacher and specially-abled student. ## The film is a slice-of-life sports drama which Amair has mastered over the years. The movie will clash with Akshay Kumar's "Welcome to The Jungle" aka "Welcome 3". Interestingly, the two previously clashed at the box office back in 2007, when "Welcome" and "Taare Zameen Par" released during Christmas weekend on December 21st and both emerged box office successes. ## Stay tuned...

December 2023 To Become The First Month To Register 1000 Crores Net Collection At The Hindi Box Office?

Mumbai, October 4 - The revival of the Indian box office, especially of Bollywood post the horror of the COVID-19 pandemic has been heartening. In 2023, the box office soared to new heights and has already crossed 8000 crores gross in India with still 3 blockbuster months left in the tank.## This year, the Hindi film industry rose from Phoenix and created new records at the domestic box office. It all began with Shah Rukh Khan's mega-blockbuster Pathaan in January and this box office juggernaut is continuing with his latest blockbuster, Jawan, starring SRK again. ## Such has been the response from moviegoers that 2023 recorded the biggest signal month collection of all time in August when Sunny Deol's monster blockbuster, Gadar 2: The Katha Continues and Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 released. With 814 crores net collection, August is now the biggest single month ever at the Hindi box office. The following month, September is second best with 689 crores net, thanks to Jawan which became the biggest Bollywood grosser of all time.## The Bollywood industry is hook-a-cook over the historic box office performance this year, but be rest assured, the potential biggest month of the year is yet to come. December 2023 is packed with, not one but multiple blockbusters. If there is no postponement from the current schedule, the last month of the year will potentially become the biggest ever in Hindi domestically.## The December month carnage will begin with Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Sam Bahadur on December 1st. The gangster action drama, Animal, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is particularly having a sky-high buzz and it is expected to emerge as Ranbir's one of biggest grossers ever. ## Sam Bahadur, which is based on the life of Sam Manekshaw who was the Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, is directed by Meghna Gulzar and as far as the box office is concerned, it carried the potential of turning beast as Kaushal has proved his mettle with patriotic film in the past.## A week later, Sidharth Malhotra's aerial action thriller, Yodha and Katrina Kaif's Merry Christmas will take on each other on December 8. Originally scheduled for December 15, both movies recently advanced their release dates. Yodha vs. Merry Christmas is perhaps the lesser-hyped clash at the moment but it can generate buzz after the teaser/trailer launch and can emerge as the dark horse at the box office.## The biggest box office clash of the year, or possibly the Indian cinema, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki and Prabhas-fronted Salaar will take place on December 22 during the Christmas weekend. SRK, after delivering two back-to-back mega-blockbusters, will look to score a hat-trick and with Rajkumar Hirani in the director's chair, Dunki is already looking like a box office volcano.## Salaar, from the makers of the KGF franchise, can emerge as another big hit at the Hindi box office from South India. It is easily the most-awaited Pan-Indian movie and with superstar Prabhas in the lead role under the direction of Prashanth Neel, Salaar should score a big success in Hindi.## There is enough scope for the aforementioned films to make December 2023 the biggest month of all time, and eventually the first 1000 crores net or more. Dunki and Salaar are easily looking to contribute the major chunk of the total box office collection of the month, followed by Animal and Sam Bahadur in the clash. However, all the movies released in December will have to fight out for the screens, not only with each other but also with the holdover movies. It will be interesting to see how they manage to solve this screen-sharing crisis.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Fukrey 3 First Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 3 - After the good extended holiday weekend, comic caper "Fukrey 3" sees a drop on its first working day. The drop from Monday, which was a Gandhi Jayanti holiday, is around 60% while the same is around 40% from Friday which is a bit higher than expected. ## On its first Tuesday/6th day, "Fukrey 3" scored an estimated 4.50 crores net collection (can go higher) which takes the total collection to around 59.50 crores in 6 days. A 5+ crore net Tuesday would have been a nice hold. The first 8-day extended weekend is looking to be around 67 crores. ## "Fukrey 3", despite the underwhelming first working day, is in a safe position due to the controlled budget. The movie is still in the race to join the 100 Crores Net Club, but if it falls short, the movie will be a box-office success. It should be able to cross the lifetime collection of its predecessor which scored approximately 80 crores net in 2017 in the second weekend.## "Fukrey Returns" had scored 50 crores net in the first week which the latest hit crossed in just 5 days. The trend is much better for the latest movie, which should ensure a healthy lifetime total for it though it has to face competition from Akshay Kumar's "Mission Raniganj" this Friday while Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan" is already running strong.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, October 2 - After the good extended opening weekend, "Fukrey 3" holds really well on its first Monday which is a holiday in the form of Gandhi Jayanti. The drop from Sunday is around 25% which was expected as tomorrow is a proper working day which means the night shows are as strong as they were on Sunday.## "Fukrey 3", on its first Monday/5th day, scored an estimated 11-11.50 crores net collection, taking the total collection to around 55 crores. It all boils down to Tuesday which will be the first litmus test for the movie. If it holds well, then the first 8-day week can be around 70 crores net. ## A good hold on Tuesday will also keep "Fukrey 3" in the race to top 100 crores net collection which will be a win for the makers. The second weekend, however, will be crucial for it as there is Akshay Kumar's "Mission Raniganj" releasing this Friday which will make some dent in the progress of "Fukrey 3".## "Fukrey 3" should also comfortably beat the collection of the second instalment of the franchise, "Fukrey Returns" which scored 80 crores net collection.
