New Delhi: Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna has managed to do well at the box office despite mixed reviews from the audience. The movie showed a little growth on Saturday with the Hindi version earning around Rs 37 crore. However, some industry experts opine that the box office figures are manipulated by the film producers.
The movie is getting appraisals for VFX effects and performances but doesn’t have a strong script or tight editing. Besides, the cameos of Shah Rukh Khan and a few other big names are also being talked about.
According to Boxofficeindia.com, the two-day collections of the Hindi version of Brahmastra are around Rs 68 crore nett with Rs 37 crore collected only on Saturday, while the collections for all formats are around 76 crore nett. It is said to have collected around Rs 3.5-4 crore nett in other languages on Saturday.
Besides, the movie has also recorded historic numbers overseas, especially in US and Canada. It has crossed the $3 million mark on day one including paid previews. A collection of around $9-10 million is predicted for the weekend.
On Friday, Karan Johar took to Instagram to inform that the film had made Rs 75 crore gross worldwide on the opening day. He wrote, “Humbled… Grateful…but yet can’t control my excitement!”
Alia Bhatt also shared a post by Ayan Mukerji, thanking all those who have watched the film. Ayan’s post read, “Gratitude, excitement, hope! A big thank you to everyone, everywhere who has gone to the cinemas to experience Brahmastra, keeping our movie going culture vibrant and dynamic. Looking forward to the next few days.”
