After a weekend of Rs. 37.25 crore, the Akshay Kumar-Kriti Sanon starrer Bachchhan Paandey had a major fall on its first Monday. According to our estimates, the movie has collected in the range of Rs. 3.25 to 3.50 crores, taking the four day total to Rs. 40 crores.
There has been a drop all across the country, with national chains dropping by nearly 70%. The showcasing of the film has started to shift to The Kashmir Files and by Friday, RRR would have taken over the entire showcasing of Bachchhan Paandey. The film was riding on a good trailer and hence, the collections have come across as a shocker.
The movie has completely lost its identity in the wave of The Kashmir Files, as if not for the Anupam Kher starrer, Bachchhan Paandey figures would have been better by at-least 25 to 30 percent. The reports and reviews of the Farhad Samji film too are on the positive side, as ones who have seen it suggest that it's a timepass entertainer. But this word of mouth was not just enough to bring the audience to the cinema halls, especially against a wave like The Kashmir Files.
It's curtains down for Bachchhan Paandey and the Monday figures have suggested an extremely low biz in its long run. The film is now expected to end at Rs. 60 crore by the end of its run, provided it retains respectable screens in the second week.
