Bell Bottom earns a gross of Rs 21 crore worldwide in its opening weekend |
The earnings of Rs 21 cr worldwide in its opening weekend are below expectations .
The less than expected box office earnings for the film in India are attributed to the closure of cinema halls in Maharashtra, which forms a big market for Hindi films , and the fact that theatres across India are currently operating at just 50 percent occupancy.
The oversees earnings of the film too have been average largely due to the fact that the film's content is more suited for the domestic audience.
Bell Bottom, the first big starrer to release in theatres post pandemic, has been Touted in trade circles as a film that would draw audiences back to the cinemas after a prolonged period of shutdown of theatres due to Covid.
However, Bell Bottom had earned averages figures of Rs 2.75 cr to Rs 3 cr in first three days of its release. The collections saw a sharp jump on Sunday to Rs 4.50 crore, taking its earnings on the opening weekend to 13 crore (nett) and Rs 15 cr (gross).
Bell Bottom is the first big starrer to release in theatres after a gap of nearly 17 months.
Promos and trailer of Bell Bottom have generated tremendous buzz among cinelovers ahead of its release. Bell Bottom released on 800 to 900 screens across the country, including 125 screens in Delhi and NCR.
The coming weeks will also witness the release of big starrers Chehre, a psychological thriller featuring superstar Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi in the lead, and Thalaivi, biopic on life of late Tamil Naidu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.
Chehre, whose scheduled release in March had to be postponed due to the second wave of COVID-19, is scheduled to hit theatres on August 27 while Thalaivi will hit theatres on September 10.
An unprecedented surge in covid cases in the country in March resulted in makers of mega starrers Haathi Mere Saathi, Bunty Aur Babli2, Chehre, Sooryavanshi and Satyamev Jayate 2 postponing release of these films till a later date.
The Covid situation adversely impacted the earnings of the films released in theatres during the period, including Roohi, Mumbai Saga, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Saina.
An Espionage thriller, Bell Bottom is about a officer from the secret service (code named Bell Bottom) orchestrate an operation to rescue several people held hostage by four terrorists on a flight. One of the most awaited films this year, Bell Bottom has been directed by Ranjit M Tewari and produced by Pooja Entertainment and Emmay Entertainment.
Bell Bottom stars Akshay Kumar in the lead with Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi in other prominent roles.
The film was earlier scheduled to release on July 27. However, due to uncertainty on reopening of theatres, Akshay Kumar announced that the film will release in cinemas on August 19.
