South films have been witnessing global box office successes. Following the phenomenal successes of Pushpa: The Rise, RRR and now KGF: Chapter 2 , there’s more demand in North belt as well due to which filmmakers working in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada industries have begun dubbing their films in Hindi in order to appeal to the masses.

Similarly, if a film does not perform well at the box office, it receives more criticism than it deserves. This is analogous to fashion; if a Bollywood film becomes a great success, all of these topics will change. I feel this is just a passing fad,” Nawazuddin told NDTV.

She was more of a mother to me than a sister.” Lataji’s pet dog was missing her constantly. “Everythi

The box office game has always been unpredictable. But post-pandemic, it is delivering many surprises as well as shocks to even the biggest of experts. The Shahid Kapoor-starrer  Jersey  was released on April 22. It seemed like a film that would manage to grow with a word of mouth and then sustain well in cinemas on the weekdays. However, the film had a very poor opening of Rs. 3.75 crore. Though the film grew on Saturday and collected Rs. 5.50 crore, it collected a similar amount on Sunday, though one expected the collection to rise on Day 3. On Monday, as expected, the film crashed and collected around Rs. 1.75 crore. The four-day collections now stand at around 16.50 crore and the lifetime earnings are expected to be around Rs. 20 crore. This means that  Jersey ’s lifetime collections would be the same as the day 1 earnings of Shahid Kapoor’s last film,  Kabir Singh  (Rs. 20.21 crore). We asked trade experts what went wrong with Jersey. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “There are
