INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Two films belonging to altogether diverse genres, one being a light hearted entertainer telling the story of a homosexual couple and another
a horror thriller set on a haunted ship, released over the weekend gone by
Both films featured an actor in the lead role who had a phenomenal 2019
While Ayushmann Khurranna delivered a hat-trick of successes [Article 15, Dream Girl, Bala], Vicky Kaushal roared with an all-time
blockbuster Bhoot - The Haunted Ship
However, every film is different and warrants its own returns
This is what happened to the new releases.As such, the opening weekend of Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan [Rs
32.66 crores] is far lesser than what his last two films, Bala [Rs
43.95 crores] and Dream Girl [Rs
44.57 crores], had gathered
Of course these two films were wholesome entertainers and actually catered to a much larger audience base
That was not the case with Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan who brought to fore a taboo subject
Though the film was projected as a family film, at the end of the day the number of Rs
12.03 crores that it gathered on Sunday is the maximum distance one could expect from it.Ditto for Bhoot - The Haunted Ship which is one of
the rare horror films to come out of Bollywood
Even amongst Hollywood imports there are a select films belonging to this genre that find an audience in India and here too the Vicky
Kaushal starrer was primarily aiming at the multiplexes
Unlike a regular Bollywood masala Bollywood film which has melodious songs or dance chartbusters as the core ingredients with at least a
hint (if not a liberal dose) of sex element in there, Bhoot - The Haunted Ship didn't have any such ingredients out there.As a result,
5.74 crores more which is a good enough number if one looks at such constraints
16.36 crores, it would now be aiming at a good hold during the weekdays to help it pull through at the box office.');
