Shamshera Box Office Opening: Ranbir Kapoor longing for a double digit opening, a very poor start

- Posted by Filmi Beat, last updated on


Ranbir struggles for the fifth time

Significantly, this will be the fifth time in Ranbir Kapoor’s career that he will somehow be able to reach the double-digit opening. Before Shamshera’s 10.3 crores, Tamasha had 10.9 crores, Roy 10.4 crores, Rockstar 10.6 crores and Politics 10.5 crores. Rockstar and Tamasha were box office flops, while Roy and Politics were semi-hits. But the budget of none of these films was even close to Shamshera.

Shamshera is the biggest film to be released in theaters since the Corona period. Shamshera has released in 5500 screens all over the world including 4350 screens in India and 1200 screens overseas. Therefore, it was believed that according to the craze of Ranbir Kapoor among the audience, Shamshera will create opening records at the box office.

Significantly, the budget of Shamshera is huge. It has been made on a huge budget of 150 crores. The film is directed by Karan Malhotra, on whom Yash Raj Films owner and producer Aditya Chopra had a lot of trust. Karan Malhotra had earlier given a superhit film like Agneepath to Dharma Productions and it was believed that he would repeat history with Yash Raj Films.

Big loss to Yash Raj Films

The opening of Shamshera is very short and the word of mouth of the film is even worse. According to this, the film will also be able to extract its budget at the box office. That is, Shamshera will be the third major setback of this year for Yash Raj Films. Earlier, Yash Raj Films’ 90 crore Ranveer Singh starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar earned 17.5 crores, while 180 crores Samrat Prithviraj earned 66 crores. Both the films were flops badly and now no one can stop Shamshera from joining this list. Together these three films will cause a loss of about 250 crores to Yash Raj Films.

Equal to the previous film?

Karan Malhotra’s previous film Agneepath earned 118 crores at the box office. It is at number two in the list of highest-grossing films of Sanjay Dutt’s career. On the other hand, the highest grossing films of Ranbir Kapoor’s career are Sanju of 342 crores and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani of 188 crores. It remains to be seen whether Shamshera becomes his third highest grossing film or not.
