It's each over for the Karan Malhotra directed Shamshera as the collections of the film have come down crashing on Monday. The Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor starrer recorded a disastrous Monday with collections in the range of Rs2.85 crore, taking the four day aggregate of the film to Rs33.85 crore. The film has come down by 75 percent on Monday, as compared to the opening day, which is a clear suggestion of rejection from the followership.
The collections are poor across the board, and the trend suggests that the continuance collections of Shamshera will be in the range of Rs 40 crore, which spells nothing but disaster. The only positive for Shamshera is the big backend deal with digital and satellite mates, which would mean nominal losses, but that does not change the theatrical fate. The film took a slow opening of Rs10.05 crore on Friday, and a film of this scale with this starcast should have taken a bare minimum opening of Rs 15 crore. The fate was sealed with the poor opening, but there was still nominal stopgap of it making up some of the lost ground with a jump on Sunday, but indeed that did not be.
The content of the film has been rejected, presumably due to the story telling pattern. A template masala imitator not opening at the box office is an intimidating bell for the assiduity, which would now again get into the zone of restrategizing the game plan in the months to come. The expedients were projected on Shamshera, as it marked Ranbir's return to the screen after 4 times, but now, the coming many weeks are veritably pivotal for the Hindi film assiduity.
At- least 2 of the following 6 flicks- Ek Villain Returns, Laal Singh Chaddha, Raksha Bandhan, Brahmastra- need to scrape past the success mark at the box office to fuel some stopgap in the saddening terrain being in the assiduity. It has been a complete lul following the release of JugJugg Jeeyo on June 24, which turned out to be an averagegrosser.However, there has been a void since Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in May, If we look at clean successes or over. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for further updates on box office run of flicks.
