Shehzada Box Office Estimate Day 2: Kartik Aaryan film collects Rs. 7 cr. on Saturday

After collecting Rs. 6 crores on its opening day, the Kartik Aaryan led Shehzada has taken a jump of approx. 15 percent on its second day. According to early estimates, Shehzada has collected in the range of Rs. 6.75 to 7.00 crores, taking the two-day total in the range of Rs. 13 crores. The larger-than-life entertainer is looking at a 3-day opening weekend in the range of Rs. 20 crores, which is a rather low result given that the expectations were a lot more. The audience footfall is not upto the mark and that's primarily due to the remake factor. There is chatter within the industry about how the Allu Arjun film, Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo, has been widely consumed by the target audience of Shehzada on TV and Mobile Phones. The national chains and single screens alike showed a growth of 15 percent on Saturday. PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis combined have collected approximately Rs. 3.35 crores on the second day. from Box Office Special Features - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/VclUaFT ...

Box Office - Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh’s Ved celebrates 50 days in theatres

It’s a 50 day run for Ved in theatres. The Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh starrer romantic drama was the last release of 2022 and while in the Marathi region there was good awareness around the film, not much was being heard and spoken about it beyond that. It seemed like a good Marathi film with a known star cast arriving in theatres but no one really predicted that this one would turn out to be a major blockbuster. Well, this is what has happened indeed with Ved, which also marked the directorial debut of Riteish Deshmukh, emerging as the second highest grosser ever in the history of Marathi cinema after Sairat.

While that hasn’t happened, the film has collected around Rs 61 crores already and that’s a massive number if one looks at how some of the biggest Marathi films typica...
