’12th Fail’, made for Rs 20 crore, had earned Rs 56 crore.
Last year, ’12th Fail’, based on a similar success story, had belatedly added to the glamor of the theatres. Made with a budget of Rs 20 crore, this film had earned Rs 56.38 crore and was a super hit. Now the flavor of ‘Srikanth’ is also similar. In such a situation, while on one hand it is expected that sooner or later the film will woo the audience on the basis of its story and acting, on the other hand the situation of the last three months tells a different story.
Films are crawling in theaters, earning is negligible
While ‘Shaitan’ has proved to be the only superhit so far in the year 2024, films like ‘Teri Baton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’, ‘Crew’, ‘Article 370’, ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ have been able to earn better than average in theaters. . But a big reason behind this was that due to lack of release of big films, these films got a chance to stay in theaters for a long time. Similar is the condition of ‘Maidan’ and ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’, which are being shown in theaters despite proving to be disasters.
Box office collection of ‘Maidan’ and ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ on 28th day
According to the report of sacnilk, the earning is only Rs 45 lakh on the 28th day of release. Whereas ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ has earned Rs 25 lakh. Both these films were released on Eid. Now the situation is that ‘Maidan’, made with a budget of Rs 235 crore, has made a business of Rs 49.80 lakh in 28 days and ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’, made with a budget of Rs 350 crore, has done a business of Rs 64.50 crore.
In 128 days, Bollywood spent Rs 1303 crore on the box office ‘Maidan’, neither Bade Miyan nor Chhote Miyan were of any use!
How much will Rajkumar Rao’s ‘Srikanth’ earn on the first day?
As far as ‘Srikanth’ is concerned, the film starring Rajkumar Rao, Alaya F and Jyotika is seen earning less than Rs 1 crore on the first day. This film is completely dependent on word of mouth. In such a situation, if the audience watches the film and praises it, it may not make bumper earnings, but it will at least sprinkle a few drops of rain in the drought.
