The month of February has bestowed a fantastic opportunity for many theatrical releases to earn big in India. Ajith Kumar’s Valimai and Alia Bhatt‘s Gangubai Kathiawadi are the epitomai of this scenario. Both movies have performed exceptionally well since their releases. These films received immense hype from the fans before their respective theatrical dispatches. Let’s have a look at how these movies have performed so far.
First, we will talk about Ajith‘s mega-budget action thriller. Despite the current COVID regulations, it has crossed the 100-crore mark within the first four days of its domestic theatrical release. Special thanks to its extended 4-day opening weekend in Tamil Nadu. After TN, Karnataka has risen as the second biggest contributor here. Apart from these states, the film is collecting good figures in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Maharashtra.
On the other hand, Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s latest directional is winning the hearts of critics and viewers. Alia as Gangubai has delivered one of the strongest and boldest performances of her career. Additionally, the movie’s settings, cinematography, songs, acting performances, cast, and many more things are being praised by the moviegoers. All these factors have aided it to earn 39.12 crores in its opening weekend (3 days). These are remarkable box office numbers considering the 50% occupancy in the theatres of Mumbai and Delhi. Plus, there are no night shows in the nation’s capital.
There is no denying that both Valimai and Gangubai Kathiawadi are breathing new fire into the domestic box office. And these types of movies are needed to ensure the survival of Indian movie theatres in future. The first one was produced by Boney Kapoor with H. Vinoth at the helm. And the second one is the joint production of Bhansali and Jayantilal Gada. Both films are running in theatres.
