Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Box Office: Film crosses Rs. 82 crores mark in Week One (first seven days)

It has been a good first week in theatres for Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar as it has comfortably crossed the Rs. 80 crores mark and then added a bit more as well. Released on the partial holiday of Holi on Wednesday, it has seen a seven week run so far and in the process accumulated Rs. 82.31 crores at the box office. While the opening day had seen Rs. 15.73 crores coming in, Day 7 saw Rs. 6.02 crores been collected at the box office. Of course, had the numbers stayed on course to be 50% of Wednesday and hence been over Rs. 7.50 crores mark then it would have been better.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Box Office Film crosses Rs. 82 crores mark in Week One (first seven days)

Still, one has to look at it in perspective that how has the industry been surviving for last so many months, and the manner in which only two Bollywood films have been really successful since November 2022 – Drishyam 2 and Pathaan. While former closed its run at Rs. 241 crores, latter is at Rs. 540 crores and would close around Rs. 545 crores. On the other hand barring Bhediya [Rs. 70 crores], no other movie has managed a score of even 50 crores, which pretty much tells the tale. In such a scenario, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar will at least be able to sail through.

In fact this Luv Ranjan, Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer would be a rare Rs. 100 Crore Club which the industry would be seeing and that’s some relief indeed. Of course, the cost is high for the film from the rom-com genre perspective but that’s from the producers’ perspective. If one looks, at the money churning which is finally happening at the box office then at least the exhibitors have something to play and audiences have something to watch. In order to keep the supply chain going, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar is doing it bit as it aims for Rs. 125 crores+.

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

“When I read the script of Pop Kaun, I felt it was a rollicking comedy that had its heart in the right place” – says Nupur Sanon

Nupur Sanon is all set to make her acting debut with the Disney+ Hotstar series Pop Kaun which has comic stalwarts like Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Saurabh Shukla, and Chunky Pandey amongst others as her co-stars. That’s not all, the actress also has had able support from her co-actor Kunal Kemmu. It looks like the actress was confident of her abilities to hold her own amid the talented ensemble when she gave a nod to playing a role in the show for which she was approached by director Farhad Samji. The director wanted to rope her in for the show after having seen her work in the music videos that had featured her along with Akshay Kumar in the past.

"When I read the script of Pop Kaun, I felt it was a rollicking comedy that had its heart in the right place" - says Nupur Sanon

Asserting that content is king and it’s an adage she lives by, Nupur says that as an actor she is drawn towards roles that speak to her instinctively. Moreover, she doesn’t want to fall into the trap of trying to figure out what works, what’s better and what sells at this juncture. The actress says, “It’s essential to retain the purity of telling a story that entertains. When I read the script of Pop Kaun, I felt it was a rollicking comedy that had its heart in the right place. OTT is something that people are binge-watching widely. I just wanted to be part of the content that audiences are gravitating towards. Pop Kaun is designed as an entertainer and we couldn’t have had a better platform than Disney+Hotstar which has a wide reach. I am grateful for the opportunity that has come my way and I hope that in future I get more such opportunities to prove my mettle irrespective of the platform.”

Pop Kaun releasing on 17th March 2023 only on Disney+ Hotstar.
