Bachchhan Paandey Day 1 Early Estimates: A Double Digit Decent Start

Mumbai, March 18, 2022: The big Holi release Bachchhan Paandey has finally been released at the box office but the response is not like the previous Akshay Kumar starrer. Holi normally sees a very dull crowd in morning and afternoon shows but after that, it acts as a proper national holiday with a huge mass and family audience.


The Day 1 early estimates for Bachchan Pandey are looking around 12 Cr India net. The film is a mass entertainer with the face value of Akshay Kumar which proved to be a saver otherwise the opening might have been at the lower side for such a big film. Normally a big event film sees 80-90% occupancy in night shows on a national holiday but that is not the case here even with a lower screen count.

The film can go towards the 13-14cr range if the mass centres improve and that will only be known tomorrow morning. If we compare to the last big Hindi film Gangubai Kathiawadi then the occupancy is slightly better but the show's count for Bachchan Pandey is very less even on 3000 screens.

The advance for tomorrow is also not huge for such a big film like Bachchan Pandey and with a juggernaut called The Kashmir Files being an opponent, The film will find very tough at the box office.

Note: given early estimates is using Multiplex Data: 6.91 Cr Gross from 3142 shows.
