Mumbai, May 12 - Superstar Salman Khan's family action drama Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has completed 3 weeks with an underwhelming box office collection. ## Though the movie still has performed way better than most of the Bollywood films post the covid-19 pandemic those numbers don't justify the stardom of Salman. At the end of the 3rd week, KKBKKJ grossed around 183 crores worldwide, including 130+ crores domestically and over 52 crores overseas.## The film, directed by Farhad Samji, at once looked like a sure shot 200+ crores worldwide grosser but after the Eid opening weekend, it tanked badly and couldn't rise after that. The movie is likely to gross another 1 crore more to around 184 crores finish which is below average number for a Salman Khan film.## Irrespective of where the film finishes at the box office from hereon, KKBKKJ is already the 3rd highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year, after "Pathaan" and "Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar". One would feel that the movie has been saved by the stardom of Salman otherwise this could have bitten the dust on the opening weekend after the poor critics' reviews.## Produced by Salman Khan Films in association with Zee Studios, the film stars Salman Khan in the title role Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh, and Jagapathi Babu with an ensemble supporting cast. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, May 6 - The Kerala Story records fantastic growth on its second day as collection jumped by around 55%. This sort of growth was always on the card after the movie managed to attract super-positive reviews and word of mouth. ## The collection of The Kerala Story is strong all over, largely thanks to its controversial subject which is attracting audiences to the cinemas. Going by the early estimates, TKS has scored around 12.50 crores net on its second day/first Saturday. ## Directed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story is very much like Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files which created a sensation last year. TKF was also supported by the controversy which helped the film to post over 300 crores in collection worldwide. ## The Kerala Story, however, had more than double opening of The Kashmir Files which scored 27+ crores on opening weekend. The opening of the film was strong enough with 8+ crores net and positive word of mouth has ensured that TKS is going to enjoy a very good opening weekend. ## The total net collection of the movie stands at around 20.5 crores after two days and the weekend is looking to be around 37.00 crores which is an excellent number for a low-budget flick. TKS has already turned into a hit for the makers and now, it is all about where it lands as far as the lifetime box office is concerned. It will be interesting to see how the movie fares on Monday and the remaining weekdays. ## Stay tuned...
