- Posted by Filmi Beat, last updated on


The month of July was also very bad in terms of box office earnings of Hindi films. Eight films were released at the Hindi box office on five Fridays of July, of which only one was a Hindi dubbing of an English film. But only this one English film could survive at the box office. Everything else failed miserably.

These seven films were Rocketry The Nambi Effect which had a budget of 60 crores, Rashtra Kavach Om which had a budget of 40 crores, Khuda Hafiz and Shabaash Mithu with a budget of 30 – 30 crores, Hit The First Case which had a budget of 35 crores, Shamshera which had a budget 150 crores and Ek Villain Returns which had a budget of 80 crores. The total budget of these seven films is 425 crores. At the same time, the total earning of these seven films is about 102 crores. That is, in the month of July, the box office has suffered a loss of 323 crores from Hindi films.

Significantly, in the month from January to June, Bollywood has already suffered a lot. 18 Hindi films were released in these six months. These 18 Hindi films together earned a total of 908 crores at the box office. On the other hand, if the budget of these 18 films is seen, then overall the budget of these 18 films was 1680 crores. Interestingly, except two of these films, all the rest were big budget films.

From January to June in Hindi from South India‘s Kannada’s 777 Charlie, KGF 2, Tamil’s Vikram, Beast and Valimai and Telugu’s Khiladi, Major and RRR. In these, except Beast and Valimai, all the other films also earned a lot in Hindi language. Overall, all these films earned 731 crores at the box office. At the same time, no South Indian film earned less than 1.5 crores in Hindi.

Next week i.e. on July 15, three OTT stars clashed – Taapsee Pannu’s film Shabaash Mithu and Rajkumar Rao – Sanya Malhotra’s film Hit The First Case. All three stars have got a lot of success from direct release films on OTT. If Shabaash Mithu and Hit had also been released on direct OTT, it might not have failed so badly. Shabaash Mithu opened only 50 lakhs while Rajkumar – Sanya starrer hit opened with 1.3 crores.
