Akshay Kumar's 'Oh My God 2' To Take A Direct-To-Digital Route?

Mumbai, March 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's poor run at the box office continues as his recently released "Selfiee" turned out to be one of the biggest disasters of all time. It could not even cross the collection of Akshay's "Bell Bottom" which was released during extremely difficult times of the covid-19 pandemic. ## The back-to-back underperformances of his films are making Akshay take different options for his upcoming films. With so many films in his kitty, Akshay is reportedly opting for a direct-to-digital release of a comedy-drama film "Oh My God 2".## According to LetsCinema, OMG 2 will directly be released via Voo/Jio Cinema. The release date, however, is not known yet but rumors say it might release in June/July this year. While the official confirmation is yet to be made, it comes as a shocking move as its predecessor "OMG – Oh My God!" (2012) and was a big box office blockbuster. ## Directed by Amit Rai, OMG2 was originally announced for a theatrical release and was supposed to release in 2022 before it was postponed indefinitely. Produced by Cape of Good Films and Wakaoo Film Production, the movie revolves around the subject of the Indian education system. ## Akshay Kumar plays the role of Lord Shiva along with Pankaj Tripathi, Yami Gautam, and Arun Govil in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

John Abraham's Jim From Blockbuster Pathaan Set To Get A Spin-Off Film

Mumbai, March 15 - The mega-blockbuster success of Pathaan has proved why Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest superstars in the country. The movie was all about SRK and his comeback to the big screen, and in between his dominance on the screen, the other character of the movie who found appreciation was John Abraham's Jim. ## John Abraham portrayed the role of the lead antagonist Jim. Jim was himself a fierce RAW agent but unfortunate events made him turn up against his own people. Fans lauded John's performance as one his finest ever, and it was a matter of time before Yash Raj Film bring him back to its Spy Universe. ## Director Siddharth Anand had previously said that he would love to make a spin-off film on Jim and now, according to Mid-Day, YRF is indeed planning the project. ## "Given that a mere glimpse of his character's back story in Pathaan evoked such a positive response, the makers now want to show his heroics and the events that led him to become a fallen agent who lost hope in humanity, and turned into an evil mercenary", reports Mid-Day. ## The project is still in the early stage as YRF is currently working on "Tiger 3" and will then head to "War 2". The spin-off of Jim will focus on the establishment of the deeper connections of him with other characters in the Spy Universe. In "Pathaan", it was revealed that Jim and Kabir (played by Hrithik in War) were trained in the same spy agency. ## Pathaan concludes with a scene that sees Jim falling into a valley, suggesting that he has been killed. However, director Siddharth previously hinted that he might still be alive, so it is possible that in "War 2", we might see a glimpse of Jim before YRF fully explores him in his standalone film. ## Stay tuned...

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar First Monday Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 13 - Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar is heading for a decent hold on the first Monday of its box office run as the early estimates collections suggest 6-6.50 crores net. The hold is decent which is approx. 40% from Friday. The drop is, however, a bit higher because it does not have much to offer to the mass audience as it is catering to a small pool audience of multiplexes. ## The first Monday collections will take the total collections of the film to over 76cr net box office mark which is a good number, especially seeing the performance of the last few films. The extended first-week collections of the film will be around 88-90cr. Again a good number but it should have done better considering the cast and the budget of the film.## It's tough to say whether Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar will become a hit film at the box office. If the film had shown under 50% drop then there was a chance but it seems difficult now. The success will be there no doubt about it but a big film should not only settle at the box office with only a success tag.## Stay tuned...

Makers Building Right Buzz For Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Mumbai, March 11 - After a couple of hits in 2022, Bollywood is hoping for a much better result in 2023 at the box office, and thankfully, there are at least half a dozen films that could potentially emerge mega hits.## Things have started on a blockbuster note with Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan emerging as one of the biggest blockbusters of all time in Indian cinema. King Khan has at least one more film this year in the form of Jawan, for which, the expectations are no less than Pathaan. ## Among the potential blockbuster films this year, director Ali Abbas Zafar's mass entertainer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff is carrying a lot of expectations as far as the box office numbers are concerned.## In the post covid-19 pandemic times, box office success has been hard to come by as most of the films died down on the opening day itself due to a lack of excitement among moviegoers. The makers of BMCM are making sure that there is no such case and are putting efforts to create buzz among the audiences. ## Ever since the makers started the filming of BMCM, they have been sharing working stills which are creating excitement. It is not that only sharing working stills create buzz, but some of the pictures makers have shared on social media are making everyone believe that they are building something big which is larger than life, and something which moviegoers want to see on the big screen. ## Apart from the officially shared pictures, the leaked footage from the shoot locations is further helping the movie to reach the widest audiences possible. There is still some time left for the movie to release and the makers have enough opportunity to keep the buzz high which is the most important thing in today's time. ## Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is produced by Pooja Entertainment and it marks the studio's fourth straight collaboration with Akshay after Bell Bottom, Cuttputlli, and the upcoming Capsule Gill. It is, however, the first time that Akshay, Tiger, and Abbas Zafar joined hands. The movie also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manushi Chhillar, and Sonakshi Sinha in prominent roles.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar First Friday/Third Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 10 - Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar which had a good collection on the first two days is heading for another steady day at the box office as the collection is set to be in the same range as those of yesterday. As per the early estimates, the movie scored 10.5-11 crores net on its first Friday/third day. There is a drop in some centers, especially in the Mumbai circuit but then some centers of Delhi-NCR have gone up. Overall the collections are similar.## The first Friday collections will take the total collections of the film to around 37 crores mark which is a good weekend number when you consider that it's not a regular Friday-Sunday weekend but a mid-weekend of Wednesday-Friday. The film was helped by the Holi holiday on the first day though it was not a universal holiday as many circuits had a Holi holiday falling a day earlier with the Mumbai circuit being the biggest miss. ## The film already has 37 crores in its hand before the two biggest days are yet to arrive and hopefully, they record the highest single days collections going over the 15 crores mark. If this happens then the film will have a high chance of emerging as a hit film but if these two days do not fire then the film might have to settle with a non-hit tag. ## The film has been appreciated by the target audience through the repeat value of the film is not that much which can be seen by the numbers. The extended weekend business of around the 65cr mark would be a good result while anything less than 60cr would mean an underperformance. ## There will be a jump in collections tomorrow but the film should not show a regular Saturday jump of around 20-25% as that is given. The film should show around 45-50% growth for healthy extended weekend collections. Multiplexes generally record their biggest jumps on Saturday and this film even caters to the multiplex audience more so it won't be a surprise if the film shows a near 50% growth tomorrow if the film really has been appreciated.## Stay tuned...
