With a curious turn of events, ‘Bohurupi’ has broken many box office records and left all contemporary releases behind with its ticket bookings.
On the 10th of October, which happens to be Saptami of Durga Puja, a massive number of tickets have been booked on BookMyShow. It was 24 thousand for Bohurupi, and 13. 5 thousand for Tekka. It is extraordinary that two movies that are doing so well at the box office together have so much difference in the bookings. One is almost the double of the other. The word of mouth for ‘Bohurupi’ has worked out really well for audiences and looks like the movie will break all records of Bengal box office. There are chances of the movie being an all time blockbuster as well.
The Puja vacation is working in favour of the movie and with Jigra and Vettaiyan, the hype might slow down a bit but the Bohurupi and Tekka will still be houseful for the time being. It is good for the industry that after so long, it is witnessing a clash like this.
A clash of three movies which are all getting good reviews was not even thought of a few years back in Bengal. Bohurupi, after having 24 thousand bookings will go on to make some more on Ashtomi, Navami and Dashami and then after the Navaratris we will get to know the verdict of the clash.
