Brahmastra Box Office: Film has a stupendous jump on Saturday, all set to challenge The Kashmir Files to emerge as highest Bollywood grosser so far of 2022

In its lifetime, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files had netted Rs. 252.90 crores at the box office, hence emerging as the highest Bollywood grosser so far of 2022. The film is in fact surpassed only by the dubbed Hindi versions of RRR and KGF: Chapter 2. Both these films are south products and caught audience fancy. Now the manner in which Brahmastra is currently doing, it is set to find itself right at the top amongst Bollywood releases at least, what with Rs. 250 crores set to be comfortably crossed.

This is now sure to happen due to the stupendous jump that the Ayan Mukherji directed film has seen on Saturday, what with Rs. 16 crores* coming in. This is still better than the first day number of Kartik Aryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs. 14.11 crores) and that film was a massive blockbuster too. So with Brahmastra doing more than that on its 9th day pretty much signifies that the film has been accepted well by the audiences and that too all over. In fact with its lifetime reaching Rs. 196 crores* already, the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer has also gone past the entire lifetime of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs. 185 crores) and even matched Sooryavanshi (Rs. 196 crores).

Of course, Brahmastra is also the most expensive of the lot and hence ideally, the kind of numbers that it is generating is in any case a bare minimum expectation. Still, the times are such that survival is the key with just respectable numbers expected and no one is pondering too much about delivering a hit or a blockbuster. In such times with this Karan Johar film turning out to be a good hit, one can well expect Dharma Productions, Star Studios and other producers associated with Brahmastra to be glad indeed.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

BREAKING: Promotional campaign of Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam 2 to commence on October 2 aka the ‘Drishyam Day’

On February 17, 2022, it was announced that Drishyam 2 has gone on floors and that Abhishek Pathak will be directing it. An on-the-set still featuring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran was also released by the makers and it added to the excitement of the viewers as the first part had emerged as a critical and commercial success. With the release of the week just two months away, Bollywood Hungama has found out about an interesting development with regard to this film.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Director Abhishek Pathak and the producers of Drishyam 2 have decided that they’ll kick start the promotional campaign of the film from October 2. The date held a special significance in the first part due to which they felt that starting their campaign on this date is apt. Moreover, things fell into place for them as Drishyam 2 is scheduled to be released on November 18, that is, 45 days after October 2. Hence, everyone in the team unanimously agreed to begin the film’s promotional journey on the national holiday.”

An industry expert said, “This is a smart move. Viewers would lap it up as October 2 has now become synonymous with Drishyam. Now, on October 2, people don’t just forward messages about the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, but also remind their friends and loved ones that this was the day when Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn’s character in Drishyam) attended satsang and had pav bhaji with his family! As a result, the promotional campaign will get a fabulous reception when it’ll commence on October 2.”

Drishyam is the remake of the 2013 Malayalam film of the same name. Besides Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran, it also starred Tabu, Ishita Dutta and Rajat Kapoor and was directed by the late Nishikant Kamat. It was the story of a good-natured semi-literate man who drew an elaborate and flawless plan when his daughter and wife accidentally killed a criminal, who also happened to be the son of a top police officer. As part of his plan, he created a full-proof alibi of being away at the satsang and making merry in Goa when the criminal son went missing.

Drishyam 2 is also based on the sequel of the same film, which was released directly on Amazon Prime in 2021. This time, Akshaye Khanna has also joined the star cast of the remake. Drishyam 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Krishan Kumar and Abhishek Pathak.
