Box Office: Do Aur Do Pyaar and Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 First Week Collection

Mumbai, April 26 - The new releases of last week, Do Aur Do Pyaar and Love Sex Aur Dhokha failed to make any impact at the box office to turn disastrous, joining Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan from the previous week. ## The Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D'Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy starer romantic-comedy film scored an estimated 3.30 crores net collection in the first week while LSD 2 minted around 1 crore net. Both the movies couldn't generate any buzz to stand a chance at the box office. ## The last couple of weeks have seen one of the lowest turnarounds in theatres for films featuring notable actors. The previous week saw BMCM and Maidaan, two huge budgeted films, turning into disasters and leaving the industry in shock. ## The next few weeks will be no different due to the absence of notable releases. The next big Bollywood release is Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion with director Kabir Khan in June. It is expected to be the next Bollywood box office success. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Hits 100 Crore Worldwide Gross

Mumbai, April 25 - Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's fronted action thriller Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has crossed 100 crores at the worldwide box office but it is not a chest-thumping achievement due to the poor progress in reaching the mark. ## Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has taken 14/15 days to reach 100 crores worldwide, a target which should have been achieved in the opening weekend itself but the chances were dismissed after the below-average start. ## The movie has grossed around 69 crores at the domestic box office and an estimated 31 crores overseas. BMCM is the 6th Bollywood film of 2024 to hit 100 crores worldwide and for Akshay Kumar, it is his first of 2024 and 3rd movie since the covid-19 pandemic. Tiger Shroff also scored his first 100 crores worldwide grosser in the post-covid era but is yet to score his first success.## Produced by Pooja Entertainment, the movie has left not much gas in the tank as it is heading for a finish under 115 crores worldwide gross collection which is a disappointing result for film featuring top talents of the country. ## Stay tuned...

Netflix Top 10: Zack Snyder's 'Rebel Moon - Part 2' Opens Lower Than The First Part

Mumbai, April 24 - Zack Snyder's epic space opera film Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was the number one movie worldwide on Netflix's top 10 chart, but it failed to match the opening weekend numbers of its predecessor Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire which was released in December last year. ## Released on April 19, Rebel Moon 2 scored 44.2 million viewing hours from 21.4 million views in its first 3-day weekend. It generated 10.5% lower viewership than the first movie which scored 54.1 million viewing hours from 23.9 million views in its opening weekend.## Just like the first part, the sequel also opened to terrible critics' reviews while audience reception was also not encouraging which restricted it to below the first movie. The first movie managed to stay in Netflix's top 10 viewership chart for 5 weeks (including April 15 - April 21, 2024) during which it scored 78.4 million full views. ## The film takes place on the moon of Veldt where Kora and the crew of warriors venture to help the farmers to defend and fight for their home against the Motherworld. It stars Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, and Doona Bae, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Thalapathy Vijay's 'Ghilli' Re-Release Third Day Box Office Collection

Chennai, April 23 - Thalapathy Vijay's sports action drama Ghilli is showing a strong trend at the box office after its re-release on April 20. The movie had the biggest opening for a re-release South Indian film at the domestic and worldwide box office before extraordinary hold on its second day which was Sunday. ## After grossing a solid approximately 8.50 crores in India in the first two days, Ghilli had another stronghold on working Monday as it scored in the range of 1.75-2 crores gross, surpassing the 10 crores mark domestically for 10.25-10.50 crores gross in just three days. ## The worldwide collection of the film is around 14 crores which is higher than the lifetime collection of recent re-releases. The absence of a notable release due to the election time is a major draw for the movie, added by the mega-stardom of Thalapathy Vijay. ## The absence of new releases is likely to keep Ghilli in theatres for some time. The best thing about Ghilli's re-release is that it hasn't died down like a one-day wonder just as the recent films and that should help it keep the box office ticking though it is not yet clear how long it will stay in theaters. ## Stay tuned...
