It seems like Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files is on a mission to rule the Indian box office these days. Not only it has performed exceptionally well in theatres. But it has also started to devour the earnings of other current theatrical releases. How about we shed some light on Bachchan Pandey? The majority of box office pundits predicted that the latest Akshay Kumar starrer would effortlessly become a success before the film’s release. But it was not ready to tackle the hype that moviegoers generated about The Kashmir Files. Despite being a part of various controversies, the newest Anupam Kher project still stands strong with nearly 206.10 crores of worldwide collection in its pockets.
Bachchan Pandey’s box office figures witnessed around a 70 per cent drop on Monday. The movie barely accumulated 3.5 crores on its first non-weekend day. Recent predictions have revealed that its final domestic figure will not cross the 70-crore barrier.
Apart from The Kashmir Files, SS Rajamouli’s upcoming big-budget project, RRR, is also responsible for BP’s poor performance. The forthcoming period action drama will take up most of the screens after its release. Also, it looks like people are not ready to waste their money on a film packed with big names, a messy script, poor comedy, and cliched characters.
Akshay Kumar has finished filming for Prithiviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, and Mission Cinderella. And the Bollywood star is currently busy in the production works of OMG 2 – Oh My God! 2, Selfiee, and Gorkha. Yes, not all of these movies will face Bachchan Pandey’s fate. However, its disastrous performance may affect the releasing windows of his upcoming projects.
