Why Brahmastra Will Be A Success Venture For Producers Even If Collects Only 200-300 Cr India Net?

Mumbai, 2 Sep 2022: The biggest movie in Bollywood in terms of budget is Brahmastra. The movie will release on 9th Sep 2022 in multiple languages across the globe. ## According to Bollywood Hungama, This film's budget is 410 Cr which is huge. How are makers going to convert this into a successful venture even if it collects only 200-300 India Net with positive reviews? ## The film is intended to serve as the 1st film in a planned trilogy as part of its own cinematic universe called Astraverse and for the first part, the producers only want to build it as a franchise and do not care about whether the budget is covered or not because if Part One is liked by the audience then everyone knows second and third part will earn more than 1000 Cr each. ## It will become a loss venture for the makers only if it becomes an outright rejected disaster. The director of this movie, Ayan Mukerji has given 10 years to this movie so we also don't think that he will go wrong and expect a good story which will unfold in a few days. ## About This Film ## This film is directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Dharma Productions in association with Star Studios, Prime Focus, and Starlight Pictures. ## Brahmastra Part One: Shiva stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy in key roles. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, Stay tuned.

Radhe Shyam Hindi Opening Day Numbers May Shock Everyone

Mumbai, March 10, 2022: After Baahubali 2, Prabhas came with Saaho and the opening day was a blast even in Hindi as it made 24.40 Cr Net on its first day. ## After that, Saaho became a hit in the Hindi belt even with mixed reviews and Prabhas proved that he is a now PAN India star. ## Now, he is coming up with Radhe Shyam which is a romantic movie and it was also supposed to take a grand opening, not as good as Saaho due to its romantic genre as action movies opening is always better. ## Action movie Saaho opened with 105 Cr India gross (second highest after Baahubali 2) and Radhe Shyam's expectation was 80-85 Cr due to its genre and post-pandemic release but with no proper planning from makers, Radhe Shyam's opening day seems to be 50-55 Cr India gross. ## This opening number may go higher if Radhe Shyam receives solid reviews and then WOM will do its work for Friday evening and night shows. ## Radhe Shyam Hindi advance booking opened late, there was no big promotion in the Hindi belt and it is a romantic movie, due to these reasons, Radhe Shyam's opening day numbers seems to really low as of now as it is heading towards 3-4 cr net. And obviously, with good WOM, numbers will go higher but as of now, according to its advance booking (90L), it will earn that much only. ## Even Pushpa started with these numbers and positive reviews took that film to more than 100 Cr Hindi net So Radhe Shyam also needs that kind of atmosphere. ## About This Movie ## This film is directed by Radha Krishna Kumar and produced by Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Pramod Uppalapati, and Praseedha Uppalapati under the banner of UV Creations. Radhe Shyam will release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam languages. ## Radhe Shyam stars Prabhas, Pooja Hegde, Bhagyashree Patwardhan, Sachin Khedekar, and Murali Sharma in key roles. ## Stay tuned.
