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...

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...

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...
