The much-anticipated pan-India film released on November 14 at a budget of Rs 350 crore, but it failed to collect more than Rs 60 crore in its first five days.

mediocre collection

The film had a good debut at the box office with a first-day box office of Rs 24 crore, of which the Hindi version took in Rs 35 crore. However, these figures were much lower than expected because a while Revenue is expected to hit Rs 50 crore on the opening day. Things got worse as negative comments started circulating. The collection fell to Rs 95 crore by Friday and Saturday, with a slight recovery on Sunday, when revenue stood at Rs 105 million.

In the Hindi region, where Bobby Deol’s entry is expected to generate huge interest, the film collected only Rs 10-11 crore in its first four days despite a screen count of 2,500-3,000. The show reflected its failure to attract northern audiences.

Reason for failure

1. Weak script: The lack of a compelling storyline or engaging script seemed to turn viewers off.
2. negative comments: Mixed reactions and poor word of mouth dampened post-release enthusiasm.
3. overwhelming expectations: Despite an impressive trailer, the film didn’t live up to the pre-release hype.

missed opportunity

a while With its pan-India appeal and huge budget, it is expected to be a game-changer for Kollywood. However, its lackluster performance is a stark reminder that star power and big budgets cannot replace quality content. Even though Surya was hugely popular in the South and Bobby Deol’s name was famous in the Hindi belt, the film’s poor execution made it a major disappointment at the box office.
