Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha First Wednesday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 17 - Laal Singh Chaddha is heading towards a disaster day in terms of collections as the early estimates suggest 2 crores net only on the first Wednesday. Yesterday the film witnessed a massive drop of around 70% so today the expectations were not of a drop but the film has seen a drop even today which is a shocking thing. The first Wednesday collections of the film will take the entire collection to over 50cr net box office mark which. The 50cr net mark should have been breached in the first two days only considering the scale and the cast of the film. Many Aamir Khan starrers have crossed that benchmark in the past also. The fate of the film was sealed on the first day only but a trend could have saved the film from disaster but unfortunately, that could not happen. The final lifetime collections of the film are likely to remain below 65-70cr. The overseas business of the film is decent but with an Aamir Khan starrer, you expect to break some records as Laal Singh Chaddha is an overseas friendly film but just like domestic even the overseas business was underwhelming. About This Movie This film is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions in association with Paramount Pictures. Laal Singh Chaddha stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Raksha Bandhan First Wednesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 17 - Raksha Bandhan is heading for another low day at the box office as the early estimates suggest approx. 1.70 crores net on the first Wednesday. Yesterday the film has witnessed about 70% drop so there were some expectations that the film won't drop further anymore but the sort of rejection the audience has given to the film is next level and as a result, the film has seen another big drop despite very low collections yesterday. The first Wednesday collections will take the entire collections of Raksha Bandhan to around the 38cr net mark which is a disaster collection for a film starring Akshay Kumar. The final lifetime collections are likely to be around 55cr unless the film drops massively over the next couple of days About This Movie This film is directed by Anand L Rai and produced by Cape Of Good Films and Colour Yellow Productions. Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Raksha Bandhan First Tuesday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 16 - Raksha Bandhan, just like Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha, is heading towards a very low first Tuesday collection as early estimates suggest 2 crores net. The film can add another 15 lacs but that hardly matters for the outcome of the film. The film has faced a massive drop compared to yesterday with around 65% drop which is a shocking thing for a film that is collecting very less collections. This confirms the fact that the film has been outright rejected by the paying public despite many holidays falling in the first few days of the release. The first Tuesday collections will push the entire box office collections of Raksha Bandhan to a little over the 36cr mark. The collections from here on will going to be very less and the film might even struggle to reach 65cr lifetime. It will be a back-to-back mega failure from Akshay Kumar who stands as one of the most popular stars in the country. He needs a big grosser to cement his position once again in this industry as a bankable star. About This Movie This film is directed by Anand L Rai and produced by Cape Of Good Films and Colour Yellow Productions. Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha First Tuesday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 16 - Laal Singh Chaddha almost tanks on its first Tuesday as the early estimates suggest 2.50 crores net. The drop from yesterday is huge and it ends the hope of the film to reach even 75 crores mark. The film has shown a drop of around 70% which is a humongous drop, especially considering the Monday number itself was not huge. The drop was expected as the film was coming from two huge national holidays but 70% was never expected. It also shows the rejection of the content of Laal Singh Chaddha. The first Tuesday collections will push the total collections of Laal Singh Chaddha to a little over the 48cr net mark. The collections from here on will be very less. The film might become the biggest flop of Aamir Khan's career although he might have delivered some low-grossing flops that was in the early phase of his career when he was not a big star but here he is one of the biggest draws of Bollywood and something like this should not happen for Aamir who is a very choosy star. About This Movie This film is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions in association with Paramount Pictures. Laal Singh Chaddha stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. Stay tuned...

Laal Singh Chaddha Producers Refute Rumours About Compensation For Losses

Mumbai, August 16 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan-fronted Laal Singh Chaddha has been underwhelming so far at the box office, and reports have claimed that the producers will bear heavy losses for the same. Meanwhile, Viacom 18 Studios has denied reports about distributors demanding compensation for the dismal performance of the film. ## The producers have claimed that "Laal Singh Chaddha" has no external distributors as the studio itself is distributing the film. "There are no external distributors. It's being distributed by Viacom18 Studios, and no money is lost in the first place. The film is still running in theaters both in India & internationally. This is baseless speculation", said Ajit Andhare, CEO of Viacom 18 Studios.## It is to be noted that Aamir Khan doesn't charge an upfront fee and normally relies on backend revenue. The budget of the film is not as much as reported in the media and according to the TOI, Laal Singh Chaddha will probably break even, once ancillary revenue is taken into account. ## An exhibitor from North India said, "Most studios don't sell their territories, it is always distributed directly. Even if we try asking for the rights, it is too expensive for us. And the reports of distributors asking for money in the case of Laal Singh Chaddha is baseless as the producers are only distributors of the film".## "Laal Singh Chaddha" is the official remake of Hollywood's hit Forrest Gump. Despite performing underwhelmingly so far, LSC has scored approx. 100 crores at the worldwide box office in 5 days. Paramount Pictures has distributed the movie in international markets where it has grossed approx. 45 crores so far. ## Stay tuned...

A Sequel To Vidya Balan's Hit 'The Dirty Picture' Is In The Making?

Mumbai, August 16 - Actress Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture (2011) holds a special mention in one of the boldest woman-centric films in Indian cinema.

Kanika Dillon has reportedly been attached to write the script for the sequel along with a male writer. Ekta and her team at Balaji Motion Pictures are all excited about this special project and plan to take it to the floors in the first quarter of 2023. ## Meanwhile, even before the script is locked, Kriti Sanon and Taapsee Pannu have reportedly approached Ekta to consider them for the role in "The Dirty Picture 2", but Ekta has requested them to wait until the writing is finished. Ekta is said to have asked Kangana Ranaut to do the movie, but she reportedly denied it as she doesn’t want to disturb her righteous image. ## The story of "The Dirty Picture 2" will reportedly be independent and will have nothing to do with the original film.## Stay tuned...

Salman Khan's Classic Film 'Tere Naam' Completes 19 Years

Mumbai, August 15 - There are many movies released on the occasion of Independence days over the years and many of them have been huge hits one such example is Sholay. But there is one movie, called Tere Naam which didn't manage to earn much in theatres but ended up having cult status over the years.## Today (August 15), Tere Naam completes 19 years of its release and the craze this movie has is beyond words. The super hit music and the charisma of Salman khan severed as factors that helped the movie to secure an excellent opening but unfortunately didn't go on to repeat the same pace it had on day 1, as a result of which it didn't live up to its full potential. The main reason why this happened is assumed to be its weak second half. However, the movie became a brilliant success in many places and even completed its Silver Jubilee. ## Tere Naam did the majority of its business from the rural areas and emerged as a success, these were the same regions that helped Salman Khan become the Popular Star he is today. Salman Khan's hairstyle, dress, and music in this movie went on to have a huge craze among the youngsters.## Tere Naam is considered one of the best movies in terms of impact on Salman Khan's filmography. His character Radhe Mohan in Tere Naam is still iconic even today. Recently Kabir Singh's character played by Shahid Kapoor in the movie Kabir Singh was compared to Radhe Mohan pointing out the similarities between the two.## Unique thing is that Tere Naam created more impact on CD cassettes and Televisions than in theatres.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha First Monday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 15 - Laal Singh Chaddha, on its first Monday, is heading towards a similar day as Friday with a little growth. The collections, however, have dropped by around 25% from Sunday for an estimated 7.50 crores net. Nonetheless, it witness a big drop considering the collections of Sunday itself were low and today was a mass national holiday in the form of Independence day so the collections at least should have been in the same range but that could not happen. The first Monday collections will take the entire collections of Laal Singh Chaddha to a little over 45cr net box office mark which are shocking collections considering the standards of Aamir Khan who is a bonafide star. The extended five-day weekend should have been 75cr net mark at least but the film has missed the target by around 30cr which pretty much tells you about the rejection of the film. The film will see a further drop from tomorrow onwards and might even struggle to hit 4-5cr daily collections. Tuesday collections will decide whether the final lifetime collections of Laal Singh Chaddha are going to land. At the moment it is looking like a 75-80cr finish but as we said we have to wait for tomorrow to see the drop. The lifetime collection is unlikely to change the verdict of Laal Singh Chaddha as the fate was pretty much sealed on the first day itself. It will be a back-to-back disaster for Aamir Khan who gave some monster super blockbusters in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This is the first time in this century that Aamir Khan is in such a bad situation at the box office and he needs one mega grosser to bring back his position now. About This Movie This film is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions in association with Paramount Pictures. Laal Singh Chaddha stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Raksha Bandhan First Monday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 15 - Raksha Bandhan is heading towards a low day at the box office on the first Monday despite having a huge national holiday in the form of independence day. The early estimate collections suggest 6 crores net for the Akshay Kumar-starrer on its 5th day. The film has seen a drop of around 15% which should not be happening as the Sunday number itself was low. If the film had seen some growth or even maintain the collections of Sunday then it would have been a decent result for the film but now it is over. The first Monday collections will push the total collections of the film to a little over 34cr net box office mark which is a low number considering the film had a five-day weekend with 3 holidays and one Saturday. The minimum extended weekend should have been 50cr for Raksha Bandhan but it missed the target by around 16cr net which pretty much tells the underperformance of the film. Tomorrow the film will see a big drop as the film is coming from two consecutive national holidays. The collections from here on will be not that much unless the film shows some decent holds on the weekdays. About This Movie This film is directed by Anand L Rai and produced by Cape Of Good Films and Colour Yellow Productions. Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha And Raksha Bandhan Record Low Opening Weekend

Mumbai, August 15 - The box office misery for Bollywood continues as Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar-fronted Raksha Bandhan failed to get the benefit of a long holiday period. These two films were expected to bring some relief to the Hindi film industry but they performed underwhelmingly over the 4-day opening weekend. ## Talking about Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha, the film faced multiple challenges due to the boycott calls and mixed word of mouth also didn't help the cause. The remake of the Hollywood classic blockbuster Forrest Gump, "Laal Singh Chaddha" scored 37.96 crores net collection in the first 4 days, which is the lowest opening weekend total for an Aamir Khan film (lead role) since 32.25 crores of "Ghajini" (3 days).## At the overseas box office, the Advait Chandan-directed film has performed better than the domestic market and has grossed 43 crores so far. The worldwide cume total of the film reached 88 crores after 44 days. The movie is produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions while Paramount Pictures distributed the film in international markets.## On the other hand, Akshay Kumar-fronted family comedy-drama film, Raksha Bandhan also met the same fate as LSC. Despite the positive reviews and word of mouth, the Anand L Rai-directed couldn't pick up over the weekend after a decent start. As a result, the movie could score only 28.16 crores net in 4 days as worldwide collection stands at approx. 40 crores. ## Raksha Bandhan was a perfect film, matching the vibes of the Raksha Bandhan festival. However, due to some reasons, the movie couldn't get the required momentum at the box office and ended up performing a low weekend. The lifetime collection of the film could finish under 60 crores net. ## Stay tuned...

Journey Of Tiger As Ek Tha Tiger Completes 10 Year

Mumbai, August 15 - Ek Tha Tiger completes 10 years today as the film was released on 15th August 2012, starring superstar Salman Khan who played the titular character. The character has become a household name after the blockbuster success and overall remains one of the most legendary characters of Indian cinema.## Ek Tha Tiger in 2012 took such an opening which can easily be touted as the greatest ever opening as the film managed to cross the previous record opener by around 45% margin. In the last 30 years, no film barring Krrish has come close to the level of opening of Ek Tha Tiger. ## No doubt there are some extraordinary openers in the last 30 years such as War, Thugs Of Hindostan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Happy New Year, Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ghajini, Singh is King, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Border, Karan Arjun, and Khalnayak but what sets Ek Tha Tiger apart from these is the fact that Ek Tha Tiger collected almost 100% to its capacity that too in the multiplex era and on 12K to 15K shows. If you go all time then there are some openers like Qurbani, Shahenshah, and Shaan which took earth-shattering openings and are on the same level as Ek Tha Tiger but those days the film used to play on very limited numbers of cinemas.## Ek Tha Tiger became the biggest hit of 2012 and also the highest-grossing film. The next part of the franchise Tiger Zinda Hai was released on Xmas 2017 to a record-breaking nonholiday number. The film went on to score 2nd highest lifetime collections for outright Hindi films after Dangal and emerged as Salman Khan's biggest grosser. The film was overall 2nd highest grosser of 2017 after the mighty Baahubali2 though it was the highest grosser of the Bollywood Industry.## The next part of the much-loved franchise Tiger 3 is all set to hunt the box office on Eid 2023. The industry has pinned all hopes on this film to bring back the glory of the Hindi film industry as it is an established franchise with the reigning superstar and on top of that, the window is huge on Eid which is capable of giving a monster grosser. ## Tiger 3 will also feature Emraan Hashmi along with Katrina Kaif and there will be an extended guest appearance of Shah Rukh Khan in and as Pathaan which is scheduled to release on 25th January 2023 and the character is touted to be the next spy character which will start the biggest universe of Indian cinema with country's biggest stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone among others.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Raksha Bandhan First Sunday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 14 - Raksha Bandhan is heading for another average day at the box office as the early estimates suggest 7.50 crores net on the first Sunday. There is a little growth from yesterday but in real words that cannot be called growth as it is coming from a very low Saturday. The first Sunday collections of Raksha Bandhan will push the total collections of the film to around 29 crores depending on the final Sunday collections. The four-day collections are low for an Akshay Kumar starrer. The premium multiplexes continue to not have any audience despite the appealing content. The film is doing whatever collections are from tier2 and tier3 cities and even there the collections are not to be proud of. It is just these centers are doing better than others. Tomorrow is a huge holiday in the form of Independence day so there will be some mass audience from interiors which could help the film but if the film does not show any growth tomorrow then the game will be over. The film is looking to have its lifetime collections in the same range as of Akshay Kumar's last outing Samrat Prithiviraj. About This Movie This film is directed by Anand L Rai and produced by Cape Of Good Films and Colour Yellow Productions. Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha First Sunday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 14 - Laal Singh Chaddha is flirting with a double-digit collection on the first Sunday as the early estimated collection suggests 10 crores. It can collect extra 25-50lacs as well as tomorrow is a huge holiday in the form of Independence day. The film has recorded a similar collection compared to yesterday despite having a national holiday which pretty much tells about the content of the film. Today's collections will push the total collections of the film to just a little under the 38cr net mark which is a low four-day total for an event film with a huge established star like Aamir Khan who is coming on the screens after the gap of 4 years. East Punjab and Delhi-NCR are the only circuits that are putting decent collections and driving the film due to its local flavor. The extended weekend collections should cross the 50cr mark minimum and then it will be all about how much it does for the pride. Tuesday will decide where the final collections of Laal Singh Chaddha are going to be though it is unlikely to hit 100cr and might even struggle to reach 90cr. The film is the worst Aamir Khan performer in the last 15 years excluding a few of his cameos. About This Movie This film is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions in association with Paramount Pictures. Laal Singh Chaddha stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. Stay tuned...

Bollywood Filmmakers Speak Up On Over The Top Remuneration of Actors

Mumbai, August 14 - The largest Indian film industry, Bollywood is going through a crisis and things are getting worse with each passing film. The reasons why Bollywood films aren't getting successful at the box office are mixed. One of the main reasons Bollywood films are failing is over the top remuneration of actors which is leading to weakening the quality of film's content. ## There has been chatter about how the film's quality is being compromised to keep the budget in check amid the high fees of actors. It is a sad reality of the Hindi film industry that many actors, who debuted in the last 10-15 years, are asking for high remuneration while the lifetime collection of their films ends up below what they have been asking for. ## The high asking price of actors to star in the movie is definitely a major concern, but it is not the only thing Bollywood needs to correct. Filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt believes that while stars' fees is a concern, the entire economics on which the film industry is operating today is wrong amid the emergence of OTT platforms. ## Mahesh Bhatt said that production houses have paid "such ridiculous fees" to actors because the OTT platforms were offering ludicrous deals to them. However, it proved to be a short-term gain as OTT platforms have pulled back from offering big deals to the filmmakers which have left the industry in a big mess. ## "Nobody was concerned with making a movie, everybody was doing arithmetic and considering which star to cast so that the film can be sold to OTT and satellite and make big bucks. The best of people make the worst of mistakes. The time has come to correct the mistake. The stars don't deserve the kind of money they are charging, because their films don’t have that kind of opening", Mahesh Bhatt told ETimes. ## Producer Ratan Jain said that there was a time when films used to be produced by an independent producer so the stars' fees were not a major concern. However, ever since the corporates came in, they started throwing money like water, leading to a significant rise in the prices of actors which has done huge damage to the industry. ## Mukesh Bhatt agreed with Jain and said that "corporates destroyed the industry by pumping huge amounts of money without any understanding of filmmaking. And now they have all shut down, so a correction is bound to happen. When you do business with the wrong economics, then it cannot sustain. The independent producers became like white tigers. Because the independent producers and distributors didn't have that kind of deep pockets to invest that kind of money".## Akshay Kumar reflects on the idea and says, "A lot of people are bothered by the lack of big box office numbers and such people believe that things need to be changed. I have always believed that the monetary aspect of cinema should first be aimed at the film's writer because he/she is the most important person on the project. The biggest heroes of our industry are our writers. If a writer cracks a story or a screenplay, no film can go wrong. Next in line of importance comes the director, then the technicians, and finally actors".## Industry veterans observe that the content in Hindi cinema has undergone a drastic change and certain elements that attracted footfalls in the theatres have been ignored by filmmakers lately. Apart from fee correction, they believe Bollywood also needs content correction that will bring the audience back to the cinemas. Producers Dinesh Vijan (Maddock Films), and NR Pachisia, among others, also spoke up on the same.## Note: The image above is just used for representation purposes only and doesn't necessarily related to the content.## Stay tuned...
