Marathi Blockbuster Sequel Struggles at Box Office
5 Nov
Summary
- Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale earns only ₹1.43 crore in 5 days
- Sequel to 2010 hit Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy
- Mounted on a budget of ₹13 crore, recovering only 6% of costs
According to the news article, the latest Marathi film Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, has witnessed a disappointing performance at the Indian box office in its first 5 days. As a spiritual sequel to the 2010 blockbuster Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy, the film was expected to bring in strong numbers, but it has failed to do so.
The film opened to decent reviews from critics and the audience, but the overall awareness and hype for the movie were low, leading to a slow start. After earning just ₹19 lakh on the opening day, the film saw some growth over the weekend, earning ₹1.17 crore. However, the weekday collections have been way below expectations, with the film earning only ₹10 lakh on the first Monday and ₹16 lakh on the discounted Tuesday.
As of now, Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale has earned a total of ₹1.43 crore net at the Indian box office, which is only 5.72% or 6% of its total budget of ₹13 crore. Given the poor trend, the film is expected to close its opening week below ₹1.7 crore net, making it a major disaster for the makers.
