Arshad Warsi Film Tanks: Disappointing Box Office Opening
7 Sep
Summary
- Film earned only 52 lakhs in its three-day opening weekend.
- The movie faced a title change shortly before its release.
- Arshad Warsi plays a dual role in the comedy-drama film.
Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?, starring Arshad Warsi and Sanjeeda Sheikh, concluded its opening weekend with a significantly disappointing box office performance. The film garnered a mere 17 lakhs on its first day, followed by 20 lakhs on the second, and a further 15 lakhs on Sunday, totaling just 52 lakhs by the end of the three-day period. This performance falls short of the 1 crore mark.
The film, initially titled Jeevan Bheema Yojana, faced a title alteration due to objections from the censor board regarding its similarity to a government scheme. It was retitled just three days prior to its September 4 release.
Jeevan Ya Bheema Con? centers on a man, Jeevan Kapoor (Arshad Warsi), presumed dead, whose wife, Yojana (Sanjeeda Sheikh), attempts to claim his insurance. However, a case of mistaken identity leads to comedic chaos as Jeevan's lookalike, Bheema, appears. Warsi essayed both characters in the film.
