Kuttey Box Office: Film hardly sees growth on Saturday, Ved continues to excel big time

There was hardly any growth that came the way of Kuttey as Saturday stayed very low at Rs. 1.25 crores. On Friday, the film had opened to Rs. 1.07 crores and hence if there was any chance to see some sort of a run till the release of Pathaan then Saturday had to be over Rs. 2 crores mark. Not that even those would have been good collections but then at least it would have at least meant that there was 100%+ growth, which would have indicated some sort of momentum to be picked up.

Kuttey Box Office: Film hardly sees growth on Saturday, Ved continues to excel big time

This isn’t turning out to be the case though as the overall collections stand at mere Rs. 2.32 crores, which is a very low number even for a niche film. When Kaminey had released back in 2009, it had fetched an opening day of Rs. 4.40 crores with a weekend of Rs. 14.82 crores. As things stand today, Kuttey won’t achieve this number as its lifetime score.

Meanwhile, Ved is continuing to excel as Saturday collections came to Rs. 2.72 crores. The opening day collections were Rs. 2.25 crores so for the film to collect far ahead of that even on its 16th day is indeed a big deal. Currently standing at Rs. 44.92 crores, the Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza starrer is enjoying its run and would score a half century within this week itself. Despite the film running primarily at Maharashtra, it’s doing very good business. This is where Pushpa [Hindi] too kept running for long and the same target audience has made Ved a blockbuster as well.

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

Sidharth Malhotra opens up about Mission Majnu being compared to Ek Tha Tiger, says, “It is not an out-and-out action film like James Bond or Ek Tha Tiger”

Netflix dropped the trailer of the espionage-thriller-drama, Mission Majnu. Featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna, the film will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions including love, sacrifice, betrayal and honour. In the film, the actor takes on the role of an Indian spy who goes undercover in Pakistan.

Sidharth Malhotra opens up about Mission Majnu being compared to Ek Tha Tiger, says, “It is not an out-and-out action film like James Bond or Ek Tha Tiger”

While talking to a news portal regarding what did the actor like the most in his role, Sidharth said, “It is inspired by true events so we had a lot of public domain information as to what really transpires, at least for my character, when people go abroad from agencies across India to protect the country. They don’t really go guns blazing. The whole idea is to be so secretive and so unassuming that the person could be in this room and we wouldn’t know. So that dynamic of being unnoticed and unknown in a vast majority of people and not standing out was so interesting to me”. Further speaking about his character, the actor said, “This is the first time for me playing a character based in the 1970s so there is a retro aspect to it. The lingo is different and since I am an Indian spy in Pakistan, he speaks Urdu and portrays himself to be different. There are so many layers.”

When asked how Mission Majnu stands out from other stories of Indian spies, Sidharth replied, “The tonality of it!” He elaborates, “This is a spy genre which is not taking that in-your-fae hero approach. I don’t even use guns in the film. There is one action piece where he is using a gun because in reality, it would defeat the purpose if he was going out killing everybody. I really love the way they would work on information gathering, which is more of trial and error. That is the USP. This is a spy genre which is not taking that in-your-face hero approach. It has an emotional graph for sure”. He further added, “It is not an out-and-out action film like James Bond or Ek Tha Tiger, where they are blasting things around. I think it makes for a fresher watch.”

Mission Majnu is all set to release on Netflix. However, the film was initially slated to make a theatrical release last year. It saw its release date pushed back twice and eventually saw a platform shift as well. To this Sidharth said, “A good film gets its due. It will make that noise because word of mouth travels. I think it’s imperative to focus on your quality now. You can’t give something that is half-baked and not up to the mark. But there are many avenues now. With Netflix, we are coming to your homes now because the dynamics of how people look at theatrical releases has changed too. So yes, lines are blurred.”

The actor does admit that the commerce of cinema has created a certain template for films. “In the current scenario, on Friday, we become obsessed with things like ‘I will do this and my film will be a hit’,” says Sidharth, adding, “The producer says if I can do this number, I can say my film is a success or profitable. We are all desperately trying to get that perception. It is tiring at times, maybe not even accurate at times. Only a longer span of time will tell you what an actor has contributed to the field. It can’t be judged on that Friday or that weekend.”

Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Rashmika Mandanna, Parmeet Sethi, Sharib Hashmi, Kumud Mishra, Zakir Hussain and Mir Sarwar, Mission Majnu is arriving on Netflix on January 20, 2023.
