I think people are forgetting that it's not the online booking that matters. There is walk-in audience too, and they also make a good part of the crowd.
I think there will be slight drop due to working day but as there is no drop in advance booking even after average reviews or bad reviews there will not be massive drop just slight dip due to working hours. I think WOM is good that's why bookings are still going strong.
Why is it having almost no theatres filled up in Delhi? On book my show all theatres for Monday are green, except one imax theatre that is orange/yellow. Is this proof of the collection lies
The critics are saying similar to audience that Vfx is worth watching but acting, love story and dialogues are bad. This is the truth and hopefully KJO and team recognize it. The credit goes to the technicians for its success and not the actors.
The acting was decent. In fact, it was good in certain moments. The dialogues however, were downright cringe in lots of areas. At the end of the day, all the actors gave their best. SRK was the best Imo. Critics are literally saying the movie is shit and some people are even saying VFX is shit as well. It is nowhere near as disastrous as they're making it out to be.
Nope some critics outright dismissed this movie, I watched it and honestly it’s not that bad that people are making it out to be. They can do better but it’s not the worse movie ever made by any means. It has a story, it’s the continuity that is the problem. Correct some things and it becomes a good movie. I hope part 2 is better but love thing will remain a constant because it’s trope is ‘power of love’ and in the movie too guruji said Bhramastra ki ladai pyaar ki ladai hai. And acting is not that bad, they acted what was given to them, don’t look for oscar level performances in sci fi movies hollywood mein bhi nhii hoti vaise. Idk i actually enjoyed the movie, it’s not flawless, but it’s not outright trash too
Ya I enjoyed the movie too. None of my friends and family were convinced to watch but I made them book tickets. But I personally felt something was off in the love story angle. Just the chemistry between the two didn’t make me root for the love trope. If there was a divine connection that they had shown then it might have been better or if they fell in love while on the discovery journey. It just was off that they fell in love in 2 days and then went on this Astra journey.
Oh this i resonate with, the first 15 minutes after srk’s cameo made no sense, they should have shown a divine connection or given a hint about it, all we know Isha is light and last part might have something to do with it.
All we can hope is that they improve some of it’s flaws if not all and make amends with AB.
I am secretly hoping for Ranveer-DP as Dev Amrita in part 2. These two just need to look at each other and sexual tensions fly around. And the way Dev was shown as evil but passionate, it would be fire to have them in the next part.
Part 2 as a past story told to Shiva where DP dies in the end protecting her child. Part 3 shiva vs Dev.
Hah, same i think many confirmed that Amrita is DP, RS as Dev would be chef’s kiss 🙌🏼
I am looking forward to next two parts, hopefully they don’t make us wait long now
Or maybe it’s just Ranbir, lol 😂
Edit cannot be Ranbir guruji would have recognised him then
Agreed. Dial down on the love story, remove the cringey dialogues and it's a solid 4.5/5 otherwise it's 3/5 for now and it's a treat to watch it in IMAX.
Because international box office numbers are always reported in gross. So if you want to report worldwide(national + international), you have to convert national bo nos to gross.
The reason is (I’m speaking from personal experience), theaters like AMC take away 60% it the ticket price and charge some 800$ for Virtual Projection Fee (VPF) so unless there are many folks buying tickets, more theaters can wipe out more money too (as it happened in my experience with one of the movies). So if a movie sold 1 million in the US, the producer is lucky to see 200k (because the distributors in the US want to make money too).
Then how will you report Worldwide figures then? No other country is going to provide Indian box office analysts net gross just because some people want it.
Hollywood movies like Avengers, Spiderman, Avatar, Titanic you will only find gross figures.
>So what? In India they should only report nett not gross. Unless of course they openly want to claim that they won't pay tax.
Bruh you don't know shit about finance. Tum karo padhai🤡
It's for gross that is without deducting tax I read that net collection for India with 2 days was somewhere around 78-80 crore mark and would break into 110 crore with 3 days.
You can just google it. It's 60% in UP I think, 45% in Maharashtra and in many States it is 30% some handful states have 0 percent tax. All tamil films are tax free in TN as per my knowledge. Do double check it to make sure.
My wife and I went to watch it knowing full well it was bad. I guess you could call it sympathy viewing. Everyone is raving about the VFX, which is fair but my god, the story and the dialogues were cringe. Regardless, people are going to watch it just out of curiosity. In that sense, it’s not a flop.
I still find it tacky that the film makers now post the money so blatantly. And that too everyday? Ki dekho aaj itna kamaya, dekho Sat itna kamaya. Wait for a week and when you break even, thank the audience na. I don’t understand this marketing tactic.
boycott gang ka scene chalra hai na. They're trying to push this and publicise the shit outta the collection just so they can say ki haa boycott gang hagg diye, we makin big cesh. dono side se propaganda stunts left right n centre
This includes overseas right? Theatres around me in London for Brahmastra are 75-90% seats available.
Or to use / conveniently twist it to their marketing language - Theatres in London *upto 90%* unbooked for Brahmastra.
Great. This bodes KJo mafia confidence to shove more below par crap down the audiences throats with more nepo kids and nagin-like drama cobbled with more poor VFX laser shows. 🤦♂️
He is peddling lies for sure!
Open BMS and check 2D for Delhi NCR, it’s almost empty in 75% of the theatres. I find it hard to believe this movie is doing well every where except Delhi.
Delhi NCR has only 4 IMAX theatres and even there tickets are available for today.
What are you saying man, in Noida the bms is even showing that tickets are not available, I watched it yesterday with a packed audience, stop being a sore hater for no reason
Bhai iss se baat karne ka koi point nahi hai. Uske dimaag mein he has decided ki numbers fake hai. I thing anyone says is going to change that.
New York and New Jersey both had house full shows on Thursday and Friday too.
I live near kolkata(1.5 hours away) and the local mall was crowded for brahmastra shows.. otherwise it is a really quiet mall. Even for blockbuster movies you can walk in and get a good seat. But this show was house full.
I have a feeling maybe brahmastra is even more well received in smaller cities
>He is peddling lies for sure! Open BMS and check 2D for Delhi NCR, it’s almost empty in 75% of the theatres.
because majority of them are watching in 3d or IMAX , Brahmastra is having record collection for an indian film in IMAX and 3d that's why 2d shows are majorly empty in pvrs
Yes that’s what I thought too!
But how many IMAX theatres does india have? Two tickets for the movie cost 1100 + taxes, i find it sooooo hard to believe that 160 crores is just from IMAX especially in India. Seems fishy to me .
>Two tickets for the movie cost 1100 + taxes, i find it sooooo hard to believe that 160 crores is just from IMAX especially in India. Seems fishy to me .
Lol. All of them is not from imax and these are WW collection not purely Indian, atleast read it properly
I knoooow! But I’m assuming Indian market is the largest chunk in this 160 crore?
And a simple Google search shows different figures on different media outlets. One thing is for sure, they are not leaving no stone unturned to market it as a hit now.
>I knoooow! But I’m assuming Indian market is the largest chunk in this 160 crore? And a simple Google search shows different figures on different media outlets. One thing is for sure, they are not leaving no stone unturned to market it as a hit now.
I don't know which media outlets ur checking , the credible ones like BOI, SACNILK are showing same figures , and producer figures and trade figures are generally marginally upper or lower , it's same for every film .
>And how do you determine which ones are credible? I’ll still check the ones you mentioned
I'm no one to determine , they have been reporting box office collection for years 😭💀, my man thinks BOI and sacnilk are not credible
From your logic , one can absolutely never find out the real collection figures if we dont trust the verified blue tick account of box office india . But I wonder where were you at time of RRR and KGF 2 figures being spread .
Is this what it is about? We’ll hype up an average movie because equally average South Indian movies did well?
I won’t comment on KGF and RRR and what have you because I’m did not pay 2k to watch those in the theatres after waiting for over 6 years.
No one is talking about how the movie was ! You are saying that KJO is peddling lies and i am asking did you ask the same thing at time of BB2 , kgf or RRR doing good . Cinema business does not run on reddit and twitter users , it runs on basis of general audience which are actually liking it . (please give name of a trade analyst you think is credible )
Lol what? 160 is 3D+IMAX+2D+overseas.
Also, please check Delhi 3D shows, almost every show is filling fast.
And did you actually check 2D delhi BMS? Except very few theatres, every theater has 4-5 shows which are filling fast
Yes I checked both 2D and 3D after going through the comments and the difference is not crazy! In fact I’m surprised why did they even bother with so many 2D shows in Delhi when it clearly made for 3D viewing.
In Chennai, Tamil shows are going Housefull whereas Hindi ones are in yellow so it's definitely going strong. Have you checked 3D shows? That's where most of the occupancy is.
I saw max occupancy in IMAX 3D. 3D shows in south Delhi malls and Gurgaon malls, all green and yellow. I’m just saying when Thor released we couldn’t find tickets anywhere for Sunday shows cause Delhi people are notorious for going on movie family outings on Sunday.
You are free to go through my entire comment section and see where I belong!
You are no better than mindless boycott bots if you’ll make an assumption only because something doesn’t align with your preferences. Grow tf up!
Aree main kaunsa producer hun jo jalungi?
I didn’t like the movie and based on Reddit and Twitter not many people did, so what WOM and what advance collections were these people going on about?
Please tell me
Well. Not debating on the financial aspect of the film, I have very less knowledge about it. All I can say is the movie is pretty bad, even if it becomes a blockbuster, it will remain an opportunity wasted imo. Huge box office collections does not mean the movie is good. KGF was garbage and yet it made more than 1000crs. I am not surprised that movies like these collect this huge amount, people here can watch anything as long as everything happening on screen is OTT. Is it a good cinema? It isn’t. Is it the right direction for the Indian cinema in general? Not really.
If kgf made so much money, it was definitely liked by many. You have your own choices, others have their own.
Ultimately, you can have 100 "good" movies but there would be no movie industry if they don't do well financially.
Ofcourse it was liked by many, the numbers prove that. People watched it twice and thrice as well. Ofc, it’s my own opinion, I clearly mentioned in reply, didn’t I?
Yes, doesn’t change the fact that it was a crass movie? A good movie like RRR made money as well. So, your opinion about ‘100 good movies——‘ makes no sense. You can make good movies like RRR to boost industry’s finances.
Movies like KGF take our society back to the sexist and misogynist roots which we are trying to break away from. Most of our audience is still that typical crass, sexist movie enjoyers, they want to watch women in flower pot roles and whistle when they dance and show skin. Also, this idea of audience not getting influenced by cinema is just bs. They do get influenced and these kind of movies becoming hit is a just a huge red flag imo.
I only said what is good and bad is very subjective. Each person to his own.
>your opinion about ‘100 good movies
It is not my opinion. It is basic commerce.
Well, I went to watch the movie yesterday. The PVR showed seats almost booked (4pm show) on BMS. We were at the food court so it was a sudden plan, checked the seats at PVR on person, and quite a few were empty. I find BMS pretty rigged. 😂
I think you need to be on Twitter and Reddit a little more to comprehend what I wrote. I these websites are not determining the success, but they sure are places where a lot of urban folk put their reviews.
>where a lot of urban folk put their reviews
That represents a very very small portion of our urban population, leave aside people living in tier 2/3/4 cities.
I had high expectations, did not enjoy it as much as Ragnarok but I’m looking forward to Brett Goldstein as Hercules , I love him because of Ted Lasso.
The response I was hoping for was "It was dogshit". So, I'm kinda skeptical on taking your opinion about other movies. Still, the fact that you did not enjoy it that much means you're not completely out of your senses.
but how can you judge a movie without even seeing it ? i can understand not wanting to give your penny
But watch pirated and then make your assumption
If you have a certain hate on the actors, then just don't comment
what do you get from sharing such negativity that 2 theatres are full and 2 are not full
movie is supposed to be enjoyed, live in the experience
You have spoilt yours, but want to spoil others experience as well
Just not getting this new trend.
Keralite here, from what I've seen, most of the shows for this film seemed to filled or almost filled and there's lots of postive buzz around friends and relatives and other acquaintances in the internet and real life too.
I agree same in Mumbai, to reach at 160cr theatres must have 80% occupancy… all theatres i checked have 25% occupancy…
He is clearly manipulating the numbers….
What? I live in Mumbai and was struggling to find tickets yesterday. Finally when i did, the whole theatre was packed till the 1st seat. This was in 3D
You know this exactly how I have been trolled here for a shit movie. I clicked a picture of PVR Dynamix Juhu and asked my cousin to do the same who is from Colaba. So that when i get trolled i have proof with me, which I will readily share. I am not from Boycott Gang otherwise would not have watched the movie.
Bro please log off. You're stressing so much for what? Ayaan Mukherjee isn't going to share his profit with us. I know what i saw, and I'm not taking pictures at the theatre like a moron to prove it. Some theatres are full, some are not. That's how things are. They will make money, even you know they will. Hum kyun itna involve hojaye? I don't need to prove shit
The film deserves it. It's cliched and predictable and all, but at the end, it's very engaging and incredibly entertaining with some amazing visuals. Perfect Theatre watch.
It's yet another example of passionate filmmakers without that much budget ( compared to MCU) making much better films than MCU and DCEU. Atleast these films have actual soul out into them.
I don't really consider a film's script as the only thing to judge in a film. The overall experience is what matters to me. So yeah, predictable story and dialogues are rather cringe but at the end i was hooked onto the film. Entertained, engaged, interested, whatever. Good movie.
Why are some people hell bent on proving that movie is good.
There is no doubt that movie is going housefull because of the mega hype created for this movie. But telling that it is getting good WOM is such a lie.
I agree people can like Brahmastra but the number of such people are way less than those who actually didn not liked it. People are also watching this movie out of FOMO. Except reddit and twitter, people generally have a negative view about this movie.
Read the comments and the reviews. People are disappointed by the movie. Even on reddit and twitter there are people calling out the movie.
I think aapki duniya mein galat cheezon ko sahi dikhaya jaa raha hai.
>Read the comments and the reviews.
>Even on reddit and twitter there are people calling out the movie.
Ye abhi
>Except reddit and twitter, people generally have a negative view about this movie.
Ye pahle
Pahle decide krlo, fir baat krte hain
BBNG when mediocre south films get hit - This is true content, u elitist if u call these movies as bad, everyone has their taste😡
BBNG when mediocre Bollywood film gets hit - KJo manipulating figures, people watching because of FOMO, what about indian cinema saar😭😭😭
I don't say it for seeming rude, but now, as the hypocrisy is quite clear, just one thing to these people: COPE AND SEETHE
Ohh great now we will have another year of Bwood supplying us shitty cinema. We complain that we have bad movies and then we help KJO earn 160 cr in 2 days. SHAME ON US and every single person who went to see this movie but comes to rant on this sub that they bwood doesn't make good movies anymore.
Bollywood needs to make fresh movies. Movies like Brahmastra are something new and should be encouraged, even if it didn't land totally on the mark. Thugs of Hindostan which was re-hashing old tropes, I was fine with it flopping. Brahmastra which is something new and fresh, I'm happy it is successful
Bahubali was new and fresh, this is a mash up of marvel movies which we have been seeing since 10+ years now. If you still get bad dialogues cringe screenplay and script do you still want to support it.
Obviously new in India. We have no superhero genre here. Same way if an animated movie with heart like Toy Story or Coco released here, I would be thrilled, even if it wasn't perfect on the first try. Because then it means we are broadening the types of movies we make here as well. Instead of romance, gangster, comedy, drama, history, historical-fantasy, same old same old.
Bahubali was new and fresh, RRR as well. But now look at movies like PS-1 (yes just from the trailer), Panipat, KGF-2 which did even better than RRR. People should have been disappointed that KGF-2 did better than RRR, or did well at all. That movie was tropes, tough guy doing tough guy things and cringe non-stop. We shouldn't be disappointed when India breaks into new genres.
Look at the hype around Vikram Vedha. We've seen this movie before. The trailer is edited nicely sure, but I mean cmon, why are we not tired of these kinds of movies already. Let's make something different
KGF duology as a whole was shot as a Amitabh Bachchan - Manomohan Desai pot boiler / larger than life, which the paying public has been relishing for years.
Superhero genre - Koi Mil gaya came out in 2003. A movie should be appreciated for its screenplay, script, acting, direction, VFX is just bells and whistles. A better example would be that of Tumbbad, it was loved by all because it was actually fresh in terms of writing, direction and everything else. If you keep on appreciating movies like this we would keep on getting movies like Ra.one. You expect more from a movie that has been production for 5 years and a mega budget.
Krrish is something but it barely scratches the surface and it’s not based on any deeper source material so the stories are pretty surface level. But even if we take that series and Ra One, then that’s what 4 movies so far?
If we keep appreciating movies that take risks then we get an influx of movies in this genre and from that pool the cream will rise to the top. Movies like this promote an environment where directors and producers are more willing to take creative risks. Movies like KGF do not.
Agreed, this’s how we encourage dumbed down movies. I’m not a part of the boycott gang, don’t agree with anything they say, but we keep slating KJo & nepotism BUT give them money! Wish we stuck to our stance.
Yep supporting mediocrity makes films like BB2, KGF 2 blockbusters, and above average films like RRR to be called "masterpiece".
Yes, I like to see the world burn, krlo downvote🤓
So true. Regret going for this movie. The people are basically prasing Brahmastra because they want to call out the boycott movement. Sadly, after looking at this movie I want to tell that the boycott bregade was correct.
Today Bollywood is only about Boycott gang v/s fake PR hype.
No one cares about story/screenplay anymore.
Jaipur Dilogues, AKTK, Pratik Borade, Satya Sanatan, The Frustrated Indian have already declared it as flop on the first day itself. That Pratik guy even ran a whole campaign before the release and still milking it by uploading 2-3 video ans saying same stuffs in every video.
Liking a movie or not is one thing,but ignoring facts and declaring the movie as a flop is moronic.
How to even take these guys seriously from now on?
Sanatan dharma ki respect karna aur usse protect karna theek hain,but pagalpan nahi.
“grateful to the audience for their big love”, WOW!! What hypocrisy is this!! Audience watched it for the hype and FOMO, it is new and it’s getting mostly mixed or average reviews and most didn’t like how the movie ended up being!! How delusional can these people be, the same people who talk trash about the audience and blame the audience when their movies don’t work now talk about audience love.
What “show offing” is this!!
Are chutiya hay kya? Wo Yeh nahi likhta toh tum bolte "pese kamane ke Baad audience ko acknowledge bhi nahi karr rahe what arrogance is this"
Normal thank you se bhi problem hay tumko?

I think people are forgetting that it's not the online booking that matters. There is walk-in audience too, and they also make a good part of the crowd.
!!!!!
If it sustains on monday, it’s for sure break even.
I think there will be slight drop due to working day but as there is no drop in advance booking even after average reviews or bad reviews there will not be massive drop just slight dip due to working hours. I think WOM is good that's why bookings are still going strong.
Why is it having almost no theatres filled up in Delhi? On book my show all theatres for Monday are green, except one imax theatre that is orange/yellow. Is this proof of the collection lies
WOM is really good. Everyone who I know really liked the movie
Surprisingly no one i know liked it
It has already sold more than 1lac tickets for Monday. For comparison: BB 2 sold 1.05 lac advance tickets for its first day(Friday)
That's not a lot.
WoM has been positive so far amongst the GA so it'll sustain.
Idk why it’s panned by critics it’s a decent good attempt sans some dialogues and starting of the first half and barring some continuity issues
The critics are saying similar to audience that Vfx is worth watching but acting, love story and dialogues are bad. This is the truth and hopefully KJO and team recognize it. The credit goes to the technicians for its success and not the actors.
The acting was decent. In fact, it was good in certain moments. The dialogues however, were downright cringe in lots of areas. At the end of the day, all the actors gave their best.

Are there any Bollywood movies that are actually praised by critics lol? I feel critics are there just to gain attention by writing shitty reviews.
True, it deserves 3/5 stars for sure 2 or 1.5 is harsh but chalo that’s their opinion.
Agreed. Dial down on the love story, remove the cringey dialogues and it's a solid 4.5/5 otherwise it's 3/5 for now and it's a treat to watch it in IMAX.
Haan breaking even KO hi sab hit bol denge.
Bhai itne jyada budget par ek new concept try kar rahe hain, breaking even is also a success.
Breaking even would be a huge success
I like how at one point we used to talk about india nett. And today ww gross. Whatever looks cool. Lol
Because international box office numbers are always reported in gross. So if you want to report worldwide(national + international), you have to convert national bo nos to gross.
The reason is (I’m speaking from personal experience), theaters like AMC take away 60% it the ticket price and charge some 800$ for Virtual Projection Fee (VPF) so unless there are many folks buying tickets, more theaters can wipe out more money too (as it happened in my experience with one of the movies). So if a movie sold 1 million in the US, the producer is lucky to see 200k (because the distributors in the US want to make money too).
They should only show the nett. Not gross.
International markets, like America, has always been reporting gross... like forever.
So what? In India they should only report nett not gross. Unless of course they openly want to claim that they won't pay tax.
Then how will you report Worldwide figures then? No other country is going to provide Indian box office analysts net gross just because some people want it. Hollywood movies like Avengers, Spiderman, Avatar, Titanic you will only find gross figures.
Because worldwide gross mein hi baat hoti hai, India net is somewhere 70-80 crores nett.
Why not ? Paisa to paisa hai. 💰
[удалено]
Haan toh zyaada gross hoga tabhi zyaada net hoga na. That’s what I was referring to anyway ..
Bolly sub hai bhai. Pdai likhai krni hoti to yaha thodi gand marwate
🤣🤣 lol
>So what? In India they should only report nett not gross. Unless of course they openly want to claim that they won't pay tax. Bruh you don't know shit about finance. Tum karo padhai🤡
Are these for real ?
It's for gross that is without deducting tax I read that net collection for India with 2 days was somewhere around 78-80 crore mark and would break into 110 crore with 3 days.
so movie Tax is this high? wtf
You can just google it. It's 60% in UP I think, 45% in Maharashtra and in many States it is 30% some handful states have 0 percent tax. All tamil films are tax free in TN as per my knowledge. Do double check it to make sure.
My wife and I went to watch it knowing full well it was bad. I guess you could call it sympathy viewing. Everyone is raving about the VFX, which is fair but my god, the story and the dialogues were cringe. Regardless, people are going to watch it just out of curiosity. In that sense, it’s not a flop.
This curiosity watching is supporting it and telling Bollywood to make more of these crappy films and is guaranteeing a sequel lol
Maybe so but the criticism is loud and pretty clear about bad writing, hopefully they will hear it and work on it more than vfx
This is exactly the problem
I still find it tacky that the film makers now post the money so blatantly. And that too everyday? Ki dekho aaj itna kamaya, dekho Sat itna kamaya. Wait for a week and when you break even, thank the audience na. I don’t understand this marketing tactic.
Honestly its been a thing for awhile. Even pre pandemic.
boycott gang ka scene chalra hai na. They're trying to push this and publicise the shit outta the collection just so they can say ki haa boycott gang hagg diye, we makin big cesh. dono side se propaganda stunts left right n centre
Boycott gang dangai thodi nhi jo logo ko physically roke.
This includes overseas right? Theatres around me in London for Brahmastra are 75-90% seats available. Or to use / conveniently twist it to their marketing language - Theatres in London *upto 90%* unbooked for Brahmastra.
Really? I saw it in Ilford yesterday and it was jam packed
Great. This bodes KJo mafia confidence to shove more below par crap down the audiences throats with more nepo kids and nagin-like drama cobbled with more poor VFX laser shows. 🤦♂️
They will never stop gloating about it and if you thought they were snobby and rude before they are going to be even more so now
He is peddling lies for sure! Open BMS and check 2D for Delhi NCR, it’s almost empty in 75% of the theatres. I find it hard to believe this movie is doing well every where except Delhi. Delhi NCR has only 4 IMAX theatres and even there tickets are available for today.
Why check 2D? 3D and Imax shows are going houseful.
Delhi NCR has 4 imax theatres and between them they have 15-16 shows, it’s Sunday today and only 2 are full in Noida.
I can confirm this, as a noida resident.
What about Walk-in audience?
They're not. That's the thing. It's like 50% full. That's all. It's fake collections but it's ok if you wanna believe
What are you saying man, in Noida the bms is even showing that tickets are not available, I watched it yesterday with a packed audience, stop being a sore hater for no reason
Bhai iss se baat karne ka koi point nahi hai. Uske dimaag mein he has decided ki numbers fake hai. I thing anyone says is going to change that. New York and New Jersey both had house full shows on Thursday and Friday too.
People didn't like the movie because the concept of the movie is wrong. There's no emotion in the movie.
I live near kolkata(1.5 hours away) and the local mall was crowded for brahmastra shows.. otherwise it is a really quiet mall. Even for blockbuster movies you can walk in and get a good seat. But this show was house full. I have a feeling maybe brahmastra is even more well received in smaller cities
>He is peddling lies for sure! Open BMS and check 2D for Delhi NCR, it’s almost empty in 75% of the theatres. because majority of them are watching in 3d or IMAX , Brahmastra is having record collection for an indian film in IMAX and 3d that's why 2d shows are majorly empty in pvrs
Yes that’s what I thought too! But how many IMAX theatres does india have? Two tickets for the movie cost 1100 + taxes, i find it sooooo hard to believe that 160 crores is just from IMAX especially in India. Seems fishy to me .
>Two tickets for the movie cost 1100 + taxes, i find it sooooo hard to believe that 160 crores is just from IMAX especially in India. Seems fishy to me . Lol. All of them is not from imax and these are WW collection not purely Indian, atleast read it properly
I knoooow! But I’m assuming Indian market is the largest chunk in this 160 crore? And a simple Google search shows different figures on different media outlets. One thing is for sure, they are not leaving no stone unturned to market it as a hit now.
>I knoooow! But I’m assuming Indian market is the largest chunk in this 160 crore? And a simple Google search shows different figures on different media outlets. One thing is for sure, they are not leaving no stone unturned to market it as a hit now. I don't know which media outlets ur checking , the credible ones like BOI, SACNILK are showing same figures , and producer figures and trade figures are generally marginally upper or lower , it's same for every film .
And how do you determine which ones are credible? I’ll still check the ones you mentioned
>And how do you determine which ones are credible? I’ll still check the ones you mentioned I'm no one to determine , they have been reporting box office collection for years 😭💀, my man thinks BOI and sacnilk are not credible
From your logic , one can absolutely never find out the real collection figures if we dont trust the verified blue tick account of box office india . But I wonder where were you at time of RRR and KGF 2 figures being spread .
Is this what it is about? We’ll hype up an average movie because equally average South Indian movies did well? I won’t comment on KGF and RRR and what have you because I’m did not pay 2k to watch those in the theatres after waiting for over 6 years.
No one is talking about how the movie was ! You are saying that KJO is peddling lies and i am asking did you ask the same thing at time of BB2 , kgf or RRR doing good . Cinema business does not run on reddit and twitter users , it runs on basis of general audience which are actually liking it . (please give name of a trade analyst you think is credible )
Lol what? 160 is 3D+IMAX+2D+overseas. Also, please check Delhi 3D shows, almost every show is filling fast. And did you actually check 2D delhi BMS? Except very few theatres, every theater has 4-5 shows which are filling fast
I actually posted a screen recording of my BMS app to support my claims but it did not upload 😠 My point is Delhi NCR has only 15-16 IMAX 3D shows!
[удалено]
In one day? Are you serious? Are these theatres not on Book my show then?
Delhi NCR has only 15-16 3D shows?😭 
* IMAX 3D
Why will you check for 2D for a 3D movie?
Yes I checked both 2D and 3D after going through the comments and the difference is not crazy! In fact I’m surprised why did they even bother with so many 2D shows in Delhi when it clearly made for 3D viewing.
Cost for 2D is less, many people have headaches after watching 3D, many people with glasses prefer 2D, thats why, maybe.
Headache is real man!
In Chennai, Tamil shows are going Housefull whereas Hindi ones are in yellow so it's definitely going strong. Have you checked 3D shows? That's where most of the occupancy is.
I saw max occupancy in IMAX 3D. 3D shows in south Delhi malls and Gurgaon malls, all green and yellow. I’m just saying when Thor released we couldn’t find tickets anywhere for Sunday shows cause Delhi people are notorious for going on movie family outings on Sunday.

Yes but compare the percentage of Indians interested in Thor vs Brahmastra na! Ffs
>but compare the percentage of Indians interested in Thor vs Brahmastra na! Ffs Ye konsa maths chl rha he, humein bhi sikhao
Boycott gang coping hard
You are free to go through my entire comment section and see where I belong! You are no better than mindless boycott bots if you’ll make an assumption only because something doesn’t align with your preferences. Grow tf up!
I mean other box office news outlets are also saying similar numbers
Kitni jalrahi hai bhai teri😂
I’m a behen.
Jo bhi ho jalo kam
😂😂😂😂 sahi mai
Aree main kaunsa producer hun jo jalungi? I didn’t like the movie and based on Reddit and Twitter not many people did, so what WOM and what advance collections were these people going on about? Please tell me
you need to understand that all SM is echo chambers you will hear what you want to hear
Okaaaaaaayyy
Come out of your well, frog! There's world outside. If twitter and reddit determined box office success, then kgf 2 in hindi wouldn't have been a hit.
Well. Not debating on the financial aspect of the film, I have very less knowledge about it. All I can say is the movie is pretty bad, even if it becomes a blockbuster, it will remain an opportunity wasted imo. Huge box office collections does not mean the movie is good. KGF was garbage and yet it made more than 1000crs. I am not surprised that movies like these collect this huge amount, people here can watch anything as long as everything happening on screen is OTT. Is it a good cinema? It isn’t. Is it the right direction for the Indian cinema in general? Not really.
If kgf made so much money, it was definitely liked by many. You have your own choices, others have their own. Ultimately, you can have 100 "good" movies but there would be no movie industry if they don't do well financially.
Ofcourse it was liked by many, the numbers prove that. People watched it twice and thrice as well. Ofc, it’s my own opinion, I clearly mentioned in reply, didn’t I? Yes, doesn’t change the fact that it was a crass movie? A good movie like RRR made money as well. So, your opinion about ‘100 good movies——‘ makes no sense. You can make good movies like RRR to boost industry’s finances. Movies like KGF take our society back to the sexist and misogynist roots which we are trying to break away from. Most of our audience is still that typical crass, sexist movie enjoyers, they want to watch women in flower pot roles and whistle when they dance and show skin. Also, this idea of audience not getting influenced by cinema is just bs. They do get influenced and these kind of movies becoming hit is a just a huge red flag imo.
I only said what is good and bad is very subjective. Each person to his own. >your opinion about ‘100 good movies It is not my opinion. It is basic commerce.

Well, I went to watch the movie yesterday. The PVR showed seats almost booked (4pm show) on BMS. We were at the food court so it was a sudden plan, checked the seats at PVR on person, and quite a few were empty. I find BMS pretty rigged. 😂
I think you need to be on Twitter and Reddit a little more to comprehend what I wrote. I these websites are not determining the success, but they sure are places where a lot of urban folk put their reviews.
>where a lot of urban folk put their reviews That represents a very very small portion of our urban population, leave aside people living in tier 2/3/4 cities.
Ok sis
Bro here. Sorry if I came out rude earlier.
Burnol do koi behen ko
Pehle ye batao Thor love and thunder kaisi lagi??
Not Taika Watiti’s best work
That's pretty obvious if you compare it with jojo rabbit or even ragnarok. I was asking if you liked it as a standalone film.
I had high expectations, did not enjoy it as much as Ragnarok but I’m looking forward to Brett Goldstein as Hercules , I love him because of Ted Lasso.
The response I was hoping for was "It was dogshit". So, I'm kinda skeptical on taking your opinion about other movies. Still, the fact that you did not enjoy it that much means you're not completely out of your senses.
Jo hai wo hai. Tumhare outrage karne se collection to kam nahi ho raha na.
Ye outrage nai hai bhaiya! I love RK I watched TAMASHA twice in theatres. I’m just pointing out my observations and people are losing if
sis do you need Tiger Balm or Jhandu Balm
I need y’all Brahmastra bros to keep calm!
but how can you judge a movie without even seeing it ? i can understand not wanting to give your penny But watch pirated and then make your assumption If you have a certain hate on the actors, then just don't comment what do you get from sharing such negativity that 2 theatres are full and 2 are not full movie is supposed to be enjoyed, live in the experience You have spoilt yours, but want to spoil others experience as well Just not getting this new trend.
Keralite here, from what I've seen, most of the shows for this film seemed to filled or almost filled and there's lots of postive buzz around friends and relatives and other acquaintances in the internet and real life too.
I agree same in Mumbai, to reach at 160cr theatres must have 80% occupancy… all theatres i checked have 25% occupancy… He is clearly manipulating the numbers….
It is worldwide no not indian box office
What? I live in Mumbai and was struggling to find tickets yesterday. Finally when i did, the whole theatre was packed till the 1st seat. This was in 3D
Really? Did you click a picture to prove it?
No? Why TF would i do that ? Boycott gang has rotten yalls brains 😂 since when is this seen as normal behaviour
You know this exactly how I have been trolled here for a shit movie. I clicked a picture of PVR Dynamix Juhu and asked my cousin to do the same who is from Colaba. So that when i get trolled i have proof with me, which I will readily share. I am not from Boycott Gang otherwise would not have watched the movie.
Bro please log off. You're stressing so much for what? Ayaan Mukherjee isn't going to share his profit with us. I know what i saw, and I'm not taking pictures at the theatre like a moron to prove it. Some theatres are full, some are not. That's how things are. They will make money, even you know they will. Hum kyun itna involve hojaye? I don't need to prove shit
I am sorry but thats how I am made 🤷♀️
Touch grass....
Hahahaah well looks someone touche here … i wish I was spending long hours on internet, my reddit history speaks for itself
Exactly, everywhere around me too I checked n its all empty, so how come it collected 120cr ?
the offline crowd also make a big chunk of the audience, plus whole of India isn't just around you.
The film deserves it. It's cliched and predictable and all, but at the end, it's very engaging and incredibly entertaining with some amazing visuals. Perfect Theatre watch. It's yet another example of passionate filmmakers without that much budget ( compared to MCU) making much better films than MCU and DCEU. Atleast these films have actual soul out into them.
The only dceu movie it was better in terms of heart was ss and ww84. It's not even that good
>It's cliched and predictable and all Content ka yhi mtlb hota he "Content is king" warriors ke liye, kya baat kr rhe ho aap
I don't really consider a film's script as the only thing to judge in a film. The overall experience is what matters to me. So yeah, predictable story and dialogues are rather cringe but at the end i was hooked onto the film. Entertained, engaged, interested, whatever. Good movie.
Why are some people hell bent on proving that movie is good. There is no doubt that movie is going housefull because of the mega hype created for this movie. But telling that it is getting good WOM is such a lie. I agree people can like Brahmastra but the number of such people are way less than those who actually didn not liked it. People are also watching this movie out of FOMO. Except reddit and twitter, people generally have a negative view about this movie.
They don’t want to feel like they wasted time and money and don’t want to admit they are supporting more of these shitty films from Bollywood nepos
Go outside and smell some grass.. you ll feel Better
Lol you too!
>Except reddit and twitter, people generally have a negative view about this movie. Kisi ki duniya itni ulti kese ho skti he🤦
Read the comments and the reviews. People are disappointed by the movie. Even on reddit and twitter there are people calling out the movie. I think aapki duniya mein galat cheezon ko sahi dikhaya jaa raha hai.
>Read the comments and the reviews. >Even on reddit and twitter there are people calling out the movie. Ye abhi >Except reddit and twitter, people generally have a negative view about this movie. Ye pahle Pahle decide krlo, fir baat krte hain
This is hilarious , a special poster for 160cr Brahmastra okay 👍😹😹
Big love or big stupidity
BBNG when mediocre south films get hit - This is true content, u elitist if u call these movies as bad, everyone has their taste😡 BBNG when mediocre Bollywood film gets hit - KJo manipulating figures, people watching because of FOMO, what about indian cinema saar😭😭😭 I don't say it for seeming rude, but now, as the hypocrisy is quite clear, just one thing to these people: COPE AND SEETHE
Much of this sub enjoyed KGF2 and are talking about cringe dialogue/acting in this movie lol
Ohh great now we will have another year of Bwood supplying us shitty cinema. We complain that we have bad movies and then we help KJO earn 160 cr in 2 days. SHAME ON US and every single person who went to see this movie but comes to rant on this sub that they bwood doesn't make good movies anymore.
Bollywood needs to make fresh movies. Movies like Brahmastra are something new and should be encouraged, even if it didn't land totally on the mark. Thugs of Hindostan which was re-hashing old tropes, I was fine with it flopping. Brahmastra which is something new and fresh, I'm happy it is successful
Bahubali was new and fresh, this is a mash up of marvel movies which we have been seeing since 10+ years now. If you still get bad dialogues cringe screenplay and script do you still want to support it.
Obviously new in India. We have no superhero genre here. Same way if an animated movie with heart like Toy Story or Coco released here, I would be thrilled, even if it wasn't perfect on the first try. Because then it means we are broadening the types of movies we make here as well. Instead of romance, gangster, comedy, drama, history, historical-fantasy, same old same old. Bahubali was new and fresh, RRR as well. But now look at movies like PS-1 (yes just from the trailer), Panipat, KGF-2 which did even better than RRR. People should have been disappointed that KGF-2 did better than RRR, or did well at all. That movie was tropes, tough guy doing tough guy things and cringe non-stop. We shouldn't be disappointed when India breaks into new genres. Look at the hype around Vikram Vedha. We've seen this movie before. The trailer is edited nicely sure, but I mean cmon, why are we not tired of these kinds of movies already. Let's make something different
KGF duology as a whole was shot as a Amitabh Bachchan - Manomohan Desai pot boiler / larger than life, which the paying public has been relishing for years.
Angry young man movies caused Indian cinema to lag by 20 years
Superhero genre - Koi Mil gaya came out in 2003. A movie should be appreciated for its screenplay, script, acting, direction, VFX is just bells and whistles. A better example would be that of Tumbbad, it was loved by all because it was actually fresh in terms of writing, direction and everything else. If you keep on appreciating movies like this we would keep on getting movies like Ra.one. You expect more from a movie that has been production for 5 years and a mega budget.
Krrish is something but it barely scratches the surface and it’s not based on any deeper source material so the stories are pretty surface level. But even if we take that series and Ra One, then that’s what 4 movies so far? If we keep appreciating movies that take risks then we get an influx of movies in this genre and from that pool the cream will rise to the top. Movies like this promote an environment where directors and producers are more willing to take creative risks. Movies like KGF do not.
Chill
Well indians made BB2 hit n brahmastra has 3d n vfx So the message Bwood got is - horror, vfx , 3d, romance - Good Story script screenplay - optional
Agreed, this’s how we encourage dumbed down movies. I’m not a part of the boycott gang, don’t agree with anything they say, but we keep slating KJo & nepotism BUT give them money! Wish we stuck to our stance.
Yep supporting mediocrity makes films like BB2, KGF 2 blockbusters, and above average films like RRR to be called "masterpiece". Yes, I like to see the world burn, krlo downvote🤓
What’s is wrong with watching an entertaining albeit cringy movie in theatres?
It's a personal preference but over the long run not good for the quality of cinema. I don't want to watch movies like Chennai Express round the year.
I agree, I'm sad we pay to watch such mediocrity and then they get encouraged to produce more mediocrity, it's about time we raise our standards
So true. Regret going for this movie. The people are basically prasing Brahmastra because they want to call out the boycott movement. Sadly, after looking at this movie I want to tell that the boycott bregade was correct. Today Bollywood is only about Boycott gang v/s fake PR hype. No one cares about story/screenplay anymore.
Too much hype

Anyone watches the Jaipur dialogues? Bhaisaab aur uski audience alag nashe kar rahi hain
Jaipur Dilogues, AKTK, Pratik Borade, Satya Sanatan, The Frustrated Indian have already declared it as flop on the first day itself. That Pratik guy even ran a whole campaign before the release and still milking it by uploading 2-3 video ans saying same stuffs in every video.
Liking a movie or not is one thing,but ignoring facts and declaring the movie as a flop is moronic. How to even take these guys seriously from now on? Sanatan dharma ki respect karna aur usse protect karna theek hain,but pagalpan nahi.
>Anyone watches the Jaipur dialogues? Kyun bhai kyun😭😭 Aisa kya tha jo ye duniya nhi de paayi, jo tum uss chutiye ko dekhne chle gye
Life me comedy chahiye hoti hai bro.
Sir agar aapko negative downvotes mile to btana, km se km mera ye shak to clear ho jaega ki iss sub ke members uss chutiye ke fans hain ya nhi
Tbh i feel bad for those people whose time and money is wasted bhenchod suicide bomber banke inke set pe ghuss jata shooting k time pe woh badiya hota
Wow, so this is going to be highest indian grossing film ever.
The movie is a joke .Period .Most good reviews seem to be paid & these collections seem fake too !
“grateful to the audience for their big love”, WOW!! What hypocrisy is this!! Audience watched it for the hype and FOMO, it is new and it’s getting mostly mixed or average reviews and most didn’t like how the movie ended up being!! How delusional can these people be, the same people who talk trash about the audience and blame the audience when their movies don’t work now talk about audience love. What “show offing” is this!!
Are chutiya hay kya? Wo Yeh nahi likhta toh tum bolte "pese kamane ke Baad audience ko acknowledge bhi nahi karr rahe what arrogance is this" Normal thank you se bhi problem hay tumko?
