Ranbir Kapoor's 'Shamshera' Dialogue Writer Piyush Mishra Opens Up On Film's Box Office Failure

Mumbai, March 20 - Ranbir Kapoor-fronted period action drama film Shamshera was one of the most anticipated movies of 2022, however, it bombed at the box office and turned out to be the biggest disappointment for Bollywood. ## Directed by Karan Malhotra, Shamshera met with poor reviews from critics which didn't help the movie to take a big opening and then, the poor reception from audiences as well made sure it go nowhere at the box office. The movie got criticism for poor writing and direction which led to its major disappointment. ## Now, the dialogue writer of the film, Piyush Mishra opened up about its failure at the box office. In a candid chat with Hindustan Times, the veteran actor and writer said that "I also didn't understand why it didn’t work. People said it didn’t work due to the script". ## "I think we have already seen fantastic stunts so many times. Now you will have to compete with them, the revolution in the South. Baahubali was not merely CGI, it also had a very solid script. To compete with a Baahubali, you will have to write an equally brilliant script. Pushpa also had a very good script, it wasn't made just like that. Adding CGI is only beneficial when you have a solid script, CGI without a script is of no use", he added.## Though there wasn't too much criticism for dialogues, Mishra said that it's the screenplay that decides the quality of dialogues in a film. "I derive my inspiration only from the screenplay. Dialogues depend on the screenplay. It's not possible to write dialogues for a bad screenplay, at least for me it's not possible", he concludes.## Produced by Yash Raj Films on a budget of around 150 crores, Shamshera did a worldwide business of approx. 60 crores, including approx. 48 crores domestically. It also starred Vaani Kapoor as the female lead along with Sanjay Dutt as the lead antagonist.## 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...

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.

Ranbir Kapoor's 'Shamshera' Opening Day Box Office Prediction

Mumbai, July 21 - Ranbir Kapoor returns to the big screen after more than 4 years with Yash Raj Films' Shamshera. The Karan Malhotra-directed period action drama film will be hitting worldwide theaters tomorrow (July 22) in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, also in IMAX. ## Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's biographical comedy-drama "Sanju", which was a huge blockbuster at the box office, so the expectations from his upcoming movie are high and should be. The advance booking of the same was opened on July 17 as there was a good buzz for the movie. ## The initial advance booking response for "Shamshera" was decent and at the same time, was better than most of this year's Bollywood movies. However, after that initial promise, the advance booking hasn't picked up as per the wish of the makers as the pre-sales collection of the movie is around 3.50 crores gross only. It might still reach 5 crores before the first show starts. ## The trade experts have been projecting the film to open around 20 crores, which is not looking to happen at this point in time. Taking the advance booking into the account, the movie is tracking to open around 11-12 crores net. However, looking at the subject of the movie which is promising to be a mass entertainer, which often leads to a good spot booking, the movie has a fair chance to take the opening of 15-16 crores. ## Ranbir's last film, "Sanju" opened to a huge 34+ crores, but the scenario was different at that time. This time around, the opening of 15+ crores for "Shamshera" will be considered good and if word of mouth is positive, then the opening weekend has a shot for 55+ crores. The trailer and other promos have left a positive impact on the audiences and this should lead to good footfalls in cinemas. ## In 2022, the biggest opening for a Bollywood movie belongs to Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu's "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", which opened to 14.11 crores net in May. "Shamshera" is clearly looking to challenge this record and if this happens, then YRF has a winner in its hands. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist Shuddh Singh and Vaani Kapoor as the female lead among others. ## The story of Shamshera is set in the fictitious city of Kaza, where a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved, and tortured by a ruthless authoritarian general Shudh Singh. This is the story of a man who became a slave, a slave who became a leader, and then a legend for his tribe. He relentlessly fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. His name is Shamshera. The high-octane, adrenaline-pumping entertainer is set in the 1800s in the heartland of India.## Stay tuned...

Ranbir Kapoor's 'Shamshera' Completes Censorship Formalities; Run-Time Revealed

Mumbai, July 9 - Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for his first release in the form of Shamshera since "Sanju" (2018), on July 22 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The Karan Malhotra-directed period action drama film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor in prominent roles along with others. ## Meanwhile, two weeks ahead of the big release, Yash Raj Films has completed the censorship formalities. As expected, the movie has received a 'U/A' certificate, and the runtime approved for the theatrical release is 158 minutes (2 hours 38 minutes).## "Shamshera", which is YRF's last film in its pending slot, and to everyone's surprise, it is looking like the best bet yet for the production studio. The previous three YRF films couldn't do well at the box office, however, with "Shamshera", the studio is looking to get its first hit and there is enough indication for the same. ## The movie was launched officially in 2018, nearly a month before "Sanju's" worldwide release in June. Principal photography began in December 2018. For the film, a massive fort was built at Film City, Goregaon, requiring 2 months of preparation and the effort of nearly 300 workers. The filming ended in September 2020. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic, which started spreading in Dec. 2020, the release of "Shamshera" was postponed multiple times, and finally, after nearly two years, it is seeing the light of the day. ## The story of Shamshera is set in the fictitious city of Kaza, where a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved, and tortured by a ruthless authoritarian general Shudh Singh. This is the story of a man who became a slave, a slave who became a leader, and then a legend for his tribe. He relentlessly fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. His name is Shamshera.

From Nowhere, Raksha Bandhan and Shamshera Become Talk of The Town

Mumbai, June 23 - There is a popular saying that you need just one big moment to shine through and well, that seems to be happening with two of the most-awaited Bollywood movies - Raksha Bandhan and Shamshera. ## The Akshay Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor starrers are among the most important upcoming Hindi films, which now seem to be potential winners at the box office. However, nearly a week before, both the movies were nowhere in the scene as there was hardly anyone talking about them. It looked like no one was interested in them. ## But things changed and from nowhere to becoming talks of the town - this all happened within a week, thanks to the top promos and posters of the movies. Talking about Akshay Kumar-fronted Raksha Bandhan, the movie is carrying a lot of reputation and it must work at the box office to keep that reputation unharmed.## Directed by Anand L Rai, the makers have been releasing the posters since last week and they are attractive, especially for the audiences who love to watch movies with the family. However, it was the trailer of the film, which has raised the expectations bar high, and suddenly, it is looking like an event film. It was an underdog earlier but now seems to be holding the advantage over Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chanddha, which will be released day and date on August 11 during Independence Day week. ## The Ranbir Kapoor-headed Shamshera is completely different from Akshay Kumar-starrer but it is equally carrying a lot of expectations. More than Ranbir Kapoor, the film is important for Yash Raj Films which has had three failures at the box office over the period of the last 8 months. Shamshera, slated to release on July 22, is the last film in YRF's current slot and it seems to be the biggest of them. ## Just like Raksha Bandhan, Shamshera too was looking for a dated film a week before. But a leaked poster and the teaser have worked wonders for it and now, it is seriously looking like a potential box office blockbuster. There is positive and loud chatter around this movie among the industry people and audiences, which wasn't a week before. ## While the overall box office fate of both the movies remains to see, one thing is sure both movies will take very good openings. And if the word of mouth is positive, then the makers have two blockbusters in their hands. ## Stay tuned...

Shamshera Teaser Talk: Yash Raj Films Saved The Best For The Last?

Mumbai, June 22 - Yash Raj Films has been one of the biggest production houses in India, yet it has been very tough last few months for the studio. YRF has released three films since October last year but none of them could create magic at the box office as all three failed to attract the audience. ## The studio is now gearing up for its 4th release in the form of "Shamshera". It is the last film in YRF's current slot, and guess what, it promises to be the best of them. The teaser of this Ranbir Kapoor-fronted period action drama film was released on June 22, and surprisingly, it makes a solid punch. ## One of the biggest reasons for the failure of YRF's previous three films was that promos of them weren't not promising which couldn't create a positive first impression on the audiences. However, this time it looks like YRF has learned a lesson and released an exceptional teaser of "Shamshera", which has become the talk of the town. ## Everything about the "Shamshera" movie, from first look poster to teaser, has been up to the mark so far. The first look poster of the movie was revealed a couple of days ago and it was striking. And now, the teaser has further raised the expectations.## The biggest talking point of the teaser is the scale with which the movie has been made. The cinematography by Anay Goswamy looks spectacular. While this 1-minute 21 seconds teaser didn't reveal much it has surely got the attantion of the audience, and director Karan Malhotra deserves praise for this. ## The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Shamshera along with Sanjay Dutt as Inspector Shudh Singh, Vaani Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Saurabh Shukla, Ronit Roy, and Tridha Choudhury in key roles. In the movie, Sanjay Dutt plays Ranbir's arch-enemy and his showdown with Ranbir will be something to watch out for as they will ferociously go after each other with no mercy.## "Shamshera" will be released on July 22nd in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, also in 3D and IMAX 3D. The trailer will be released on June 24. ## ## Stay tuned...
