Box Office Prediction: Bheemla Nayak To Outshine Its Big Competitors At The Box Office?
Hyderabad, February 19 - The happy days for the theater owners are just around the corner as the box office chatter is making noise among the fans and trade. The big-screen magic will be shining bright again after the moments of ups and downs in the last two years of the covid-19 pandemic. ##
The last weekend of February 2022 will see three of the most-awaited Indian movies hitting theaters in the form of Ajith Kumar's "Valimai" on Feb. 24, Pawan Kalyan's "Bheemla Nayak" on Feb. 25, and Alia Bhatt-fronted "Gangubai Kathiawadi" on Feb. 25. Interestingly, all three movies will have multilingual releases, thus making things tough for one another at the box office. ##
Though there are a couple of other movies too to release during the same weekend such as the Telugu movie "Aadaalloo Meeku Johaarlu", starring Sharwanand and Rashmika Mandanna, the real battle to emerge box office king, however, will be among the three aforementioned films, especially between "Valimai", and "Bheemla Nayak". ##
As far as the box office numbers are concerned, Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati-starrer Telugu movie "Bheemla Nayak", might outshine the other releases. The movie is seen as the potential highest-grossing film for Pawan Kalyan. It will also be released in the Hindi dubbed version, however, that is unlikely to add extra fuel to it since there is no sign of promotion in Hindi yet. But who knows what destiny has in its store for this biggie. ##
Pawan Kalyan's last film, "Vakeel Saab", opened to huge Rs. 40.10 crores net at the Indian box office. It is the biggest opening day record for a Pawan Kalyan movie to date, but it might be broken by "Bheemla Nayak". The upcoming actioner is creating more hype and buzz is surreal around it that makes this big-ticket a movie to watch out for at the box office. ##
When it comes to hype and buzz, no other movie can match Ajith Kumar's Tamil tentpole "Valimai", which will be released a day before Pawan Kalyan-fronted. Ajith is one of the biggest stars in Tamil Nadu and his movies often gained a lot of attention. "Valimai" might become Ajith Kumar's biggest grosser of all time. His "Viswasam" is currently the biggest film with a worldwide collection of approx. 200 crores. ##
"Valimai", directed by H Vinoth, will also be released in Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada dubbed versions. It might make noise at the Hindi box office where it has to compete with Alia Bhatt-fronted "Gangubai Kathiawadi". In the Hindi circuit, "Valimai" is expected to release on over 1000 screens. It could open between Rs. 30-35 crores at the Indian box office.##
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed "Gangubai Kathiawadi" is sure to take a good opening. Though Bollywood movies except, "Sooryavanshi", have struggled to take a good start during the covid-19 pandemic, "Gangubai Kathiawadi" could change that trend and surprise everyone. The trailer and songs of the film are doing good and the on-ground promotion is also picking the pace. Superstar Ajay Devgn has played a cameo role and his presence will surely boost its box office chances. If all goes well, the movie could open between Rs. 10-15 cores at the Hindi box office. It will also release in Telugu, however, there is not much scope for it to score. ##
