Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi' Opening Day Box Office Becomes A Dream Number To Crack For Bollywood

Mumbai, July 24 - The Bollywood film industry had pinned high hopes on Ranbir Kapoor's period action drama film Shamshera to break the jinx of Bollywood films not being able to take the big openings during the covid-19 pandemic. When the advance booking of the film started, it looked like the movie would sure take a very good opening, but, things didn't go as planned as the movie failed to make an impact at the box office. ## "Shamshera" was Yash Raj Films' biggest hope in its current slot, but just like most of the Bollywood films during the covid-19 pandemic, the movie ended up taking an underwhelming start of 10.25 crores net, which is almost half of what trade pundits had predicted.## The underwhelming start at the box office of this Karan Malhotra-directed is not a case with it only, as most Bollywood films have struggled to take a good start since the Rs. 26.29 crores opening of Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi last year. Since the release of "Sooryavanshi", not a single Bollywood movie has been able to crack the 20 crores mark on an opening day, forget about going past Rohit Shetty-directorial. ## Before the covid-19 pandemic broke out in India in early 2020, taking a big opening was a cakewalk for Bollywood films featuring top stars, but now, the opening of "Sooryavanshi" has become a dream number to crack for the largest Indian film industry. Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha", which is slated to release on August 11, is the next big Bollywood release. However, it is also not looking to reach or cross the cop action drama, which is shocking, to say the least. But, an Aamir Khan film should never be ruled out as there might be an unexpected surprise. We have to wait for that a couple of more weeks.## Among the upcoming films, director Ayan Mukerji's epic "Brahmastra Part One: Shiva" is really looking highly promising and should be able to take a huge opening and might breach the 30 crores mark for the first since "War" (2019). Among the other Bollywood films releasing this year, Hrithik Roshan's "Vikram Vedha" and Akshay Kumar's "Ram Setu" may also surprise. Salman Khan's "Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali" is also a big film but is likely to be postponed to the next year. ## Stay tuned...
