PVR had one of its best weekends with Sooryavanshi, he said.In terms of recovery, Dutta said that currently, the markets in the south and north have recovered to 95 percent and 85 percent, respectively, of pre-Covid levels. Multiplex operator PVR’s CEO Gautam Dutta said during a virtual conference that it is bullish about Q4 of FY22 on the back of upcoming releases, which includes 10 Bollywood films. “I was estimating Bollywood’s box office business to be back to pre-Covid levels in around eight weeks, but if the new releases Bunty Aur Babli 2, Satyameva Jayate 2 and Antim are bang on with their opening numbers, then we could reach pre-pandemic levels earlier,” Johar said.Įxhibitors, too, are confident about upcoming Bollywood films, which accounted for 43 percent of overall box-office revenue in 2019, according to a 2020 report by EY, the consulting company formerly known as Ernst and Young. “If they have a good opening, I think we have crossed the roadblock,” said Menon. However, Menon said the November 26 film releases including Salman Khan’s Antim and John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate 2 may hold the key. Sooryavanshi may touch Rs 170 crore in collections by the end of the second week, when it will face competition from Bunty Aur Babli 2, starring Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan. He is also an actor in Bheja Fry 2 (2011), stanley Ka Dabba (2011),Urumi (2011) Phas gaye re obama (2010) and Kaminey. Other markets that performed well in the second week of the film’s release include West Bengal and Bihar. Amole Gupte is an Indian screenwriter, actor, and director, known for his work on Bollywood films like Taare Zameen Par (Like Stars on Earth), Stanley ka dabba, Kaminey and others. The film has collected about Rs 159 crore so far in India, mostly from the Mumbai market. According to industry estimates, Mumbai contributed 44 percent, or Rs 70 crore, to the film’s collections. “About Rs 14 crore is a good number on a Monday (in the first week). That’s why I see box office collections of Bollywood coming back and we can say that by around 50-60 percent Bollywood has shrugged off pandemic woes,” he added. “We are almost at pre-Covid levels because the collections were not only good during the weekend but also during the week,” said Nitin Menon, cofounder of NV Capital, a credit fund for the media and entertainment sector. While the weekend was strong for the film, the momentum continued during the weekdays.
