Friday is no less than a litmus test for filmmakers. The film is released. Sometimes bumper earnings start from the first day and continue for weeks and sometimes the film falls flat on the very first day and never recovers. But it is not that there are only two types of films at the box office. It has been seen many times that the film earns bumper on the first day, but from the second day its graph starts going down. It has also been seen that after earning huge profits over the weekend, the film falls flat on the fourth day.
Movies have also been released this week. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. Here we will talk about the multi-starrer and big budget film Singham Again. Reports say that the makers have spent Rs 350 crore on Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. Although these numbers also seem correct. The budget of a film which has more than half a dozen actors like Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff and Arjun Kapoor and in which vehicles are blown up like toys, will touch the sky. Hee.
Danger of flopping!
It is said that it is more difficult to raise an elephant than it is to buy one. Similarly, it is difficult to make big budget films, but making profit from that big budget film is even more difficult. This also applies to Singham Again. Singham has got a good start, but he has a competing film in front of him in the form of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. This was also proved on the first day. While Singham earned Rs 43 crores after assembling the cast of stars, Karthik, who is four days old in the industry along with Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, earned more than Rs 35 crores.
Not only will Saturday and Sunday be important for Singham Again, it will also have to continue earning well on weekdays. If this does not happen then big problems may arise. Singham Again will have to earn Rs 350 crore just to clear the budget. To be included in the list of Hit, Superhit, Blockbuster and All-time Blockbuster, it will need to earn even more.
Don’t lose your budget
Suppose, if Singham Again earns Rs 150 crore in total in the first weekend i.e. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, then it will have to earn Rs 200 crore more to recover the budget. People’s holidays must have ended. There will be a different competition from ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. Bobby Deol and Surya’s much awaited Kanguva is coming on 14th November. Somewhere or the other this film will also have some impact on Singham. Keeping these things in mind, it is important that Singham maintains its earning momentum even after the weekend, otherwise a higher budget will be its fate.
