Bholaa Box Office Collection Day 2: The much-awaited Hindi film Bholaa was released on Thursday and managed to register a decent opening. But on Friday, instead of picking up, it has witnessed a slight drop in footfalls across the country.
Director-actor Ajay Devgn’s film also stars Tabu, Deepak Dobriyal and Sanjay Mishra has received positive reviews from critics as well as audience. As the result, Bholaa opened with Rs 11.20 crore nett at the box office.
By comparison, Drishyam 2 had a strong opening of Rs 15.38 crore and eventually did a lifetime business of Rs 240.54 crore. Both Drishyam 2 and Bholaa are remakes of Malayalam and Tamil films, respectively.
Bholaa has raked in Rs 7.40 crores on Saturday and in two days has collected 18.60 crore at the domestic box office. In major centres like Mumbai and Delhi-NCR, Bholaa is underperforming big time and one only hopes it picks up the pace as the weekend mode is on.
Bholaa is the remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Kaithi, which released in 2019. Recent releases Shehzada and Selfiee were also remakes but failed to attract the audience. The failure of those films started the conversation in Bollywood about whether remakes are still a viable strategy.
