Box Office: Sooryavanshi Sets Eyes On Rs. 200 Crores After Strong Second Week Finish

Mumbai, November 19 - Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" is still in the race to become Bollywood's first Rs. 200 crore net collection film during the covid-19 pandemic. After finishing the first week on high, the cop-drama maintained the stronghold in the second week as well with a drop of 62% (on par with the pre-covid level) for Rs. 45.57 crores. ## Directed by hit master Rohit Shetty, "Sooryavanshi" currently stands at Rs. 166.23 crores net and Rs. 196.15 crore gross in India. Overseas, it has grossed Rs. 53 crores so far, for its total worldwide gross of Rs. 249.15 crores. It will cross Rs. 250 crore gross on its third Friday at the worldwide box office. ## While "Sooryavanshi" has paved the way for upcoming Bollywood biggies, Rs. 200 crore India net will be a landmark foot if it is able to achieve. Yash Raj Films' "Bunty Aur Babli 2", which opens today (Nov. 19), received negative reviews from critics and audiences, which will directly benefit "Sooryavanshi" to keep the momentum going for one more week until "Satyameva Jayate 2" and "Antim - The Final Truth" arrive on Thursday (Nov. 25) and Friday (Nov. 26), respectivly. ## "Sooryavanshi" is Akshay Kumar's 5th highest-grossing film at the India box office. If it enters Rs. 200 crore club, then it will cross "2.0" (190.48 cr.), and possibly "Mission Mangal" (203.08 cr.) to finish in the top 3 highest-grossing films. For Katrina Kaif, who plays the female lead, "Sooryavanshi" is the 6th best-grossing film, and will definitely enter the top 5 by crossing "Bang Bang" (174.51 cr.), by the end of this week. ## Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Rohit Shetty Picturez, Dharma Productions, and Cape of Good Films, "Sooryavanshi" is the 4th film in Shetty's cop universe. It also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in the extended cameos as Singham and Simmba, respectively. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Sooryavanshi Becomes The Highest-Grossing Indian Film Of 2021 At The Worldwide BO

Mumbai, November 16 - It took one big shot for the Bollywood film industry to regain its lost kingdom. Akshay Kumar-starrer "Sooryavanshi", which is the biggest Bollywood film in the last 18 months, has become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2021 at the worldwide box office. ## Rohit Shetty-directed cop drama has grossed ₹ 234 crores worldwide over 11 days and surpassed Thalapathy Vijay's Tamil blockbuster "Master", which grossed approx ₹ 223 crores at the worldwide box office. "Sooryavanshi" has netted ₹ 155.73 crores, which is the highest for an Indian film in 2021. ## Internationally, "Sooryavanshi" has grossed ₹ 50.37 crores so far, which is again the biggest overseas box office number for an Indian film in the current year. Rajinikanth's "Annaatthe" is at the second position with approx ₹ 45 crores overseas. Over ₹ 150 crore-budgeted, "Sooryavanshi" is the first ₹ 200 crores grosser Bollywood film since Ajay Devgn's "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior" in January 2020. ## Co-produced by Reliance Entertainment, Rohit Shetty, Dharma Productions, and Cape Of Good Films, "Sooryavanshi" is the 5th highest net collection film for Akshay Kumar after Housefull 4, Mission Mangal, Good Newwz, and 2.0. For Katrina Kaif, who plays a female lead opposite Akshay, it is the 6th highest-netted film and likely to enter the top 5 at the end of its box office run. ## "Sooryavanshi", which also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in the extended cameos, has been an important film for Bollywood and one would say, it has passed the tough test. Bollywood will hope to keep the same momentum with the upcoming releases, such as "Bunty And Babli 2" (Nov. 19), John Abraham's "Satyameva Jayate 2" (Nov. 25), and Salman Khan's "Antim: The Final Truth" (Nov. 26). ## Stay tuned...

Aamir and the makers don't want to compromise on the quality of the film and hence have collectively decided to postpone it again by 2-3 months to make it as envisioned", a source close to the project informed peepingmoon.com. ## While the new release date for "Laal Singh Chaddha" is yet to be locked, the report said that the Valentine's Day weekend slot has now been booked by a leading production banner for its yet-untitled upcoming relationship drama starring a top actress. ## LSC is the official remake of Tom Hanks' 1994 Hollywood classic "Forrest Gump".

Rohit Shetty Shuts Down A Journalist For Questioning The Casting Of The Villain In Sooryavanshi

Mumbai, November 15 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty having an interview tour over the super success of his recently released, "Sooryavanshi", which he held back for more than 18 months to give a theatrical release. The Akshay Kumar-fronted cop-drama is very well accepted by the audiences and everyone has nice things to say about this film. ## However, despite all the love and positive word of mouth from the audiences of every type, there is a certain media group that has been questioning the casting of the villain of a Muslim outfit in the film. In a recent interview with The Quint (via opindia), the journalist pointed out that the 'good Muslim' and 'bad Muslim' scenario in the film is problematic.## Rohit Shetty, however, countered the question with a befitting reply and asked the journalist why no one had a problem when he cast Hindu villains in his previous three cop films. He questioned why the Hindu villains from the previous films were not objected to because of their caste. ## "If I ask you one question... Jaikant Shikre (in Singham) was a Hindu Marathi. Then a second film came where a Hindu godman was there. Then in Simmba, Durva Ranade was a Maharashtrian again. In these three, negative forces were Hindu, why isn't that a problem?" Shetty countered. ## He went on to say when the journalist tried to counter his remarks, "If there is a terrorist who is from Pakistan, what caste will he be?" Shetty said that such controversies had changed his point of view about many journalists. He said, "It changed my point of view of a few journalists whom I used to like. That oh, they are portraying it like I have seen in brackets somebody writing bad Muslims being preached by upper-caste Hindus, which is very wrong. We never thought that way".## The basic plot of "Sooryavanshi" is about Pakistani terrorists plotting more attacks in India after the 1993 Mumbai blasts, and the hero's efforts to stop them. Shetty's cop films have always been centered around celebrating Police for the good work they are doing on the line of duty. When The Quint journalist asked Shetty about his point of view on Police brutality, Shetty said, "Whoever asks me about my viewpoint on Police brutality, I only ask them to shut down Police headquarters for one day. You dial 100, and there is no one to answer".## Stay tuned...
