Vidhu Vinod Chopra's directorial 12th Fail, starring Vikrant Massey, pleasantly surprised everyone in the trade circle with an opening day of around Rs 1 crore nett at the box office on its first day in India. 12th Fail released in a mere 600 screens and that too in limited shows but ended up almost matching the numbers put up by its release day rival Tejas, which had a far wider release and held far greater appeal.
12th Fail Takes A Pleasantly Surprising Opening Of Rs 1 Crore At The Box Office In India
As at 10pm on 27th October, 2023, 12th Fail mustered Rs 75 lakhs nett from the top national chains PVRInox and Cinepolis. The opening of 12th Fail, coupled with favourable reviews and two open weeks, gives the Vikrant Massey starrer a chance to put up a substantial number on the board in its full run, preferably even a double digit lifetime. In the post pandemic world where audiences have their preference of movies to watch in theatres clear, a content that is unabashedly meant for digital viewing, is creating some ripples. It is not to say that Rs 1 crore is a big number or something but the makers would happily take it given what was expected out of it to begin with.
Other Competing Releases In India On 27th October
The aerial actioner, Tejas, collected Rs 1.10 crores nett on day 1 and with unfavourable reports, it wouldn't be surprising if 12th Fail gets a lead over it from Saturday. Leo (Hindi) on its second Friday held strongly with numbers just 15 percent down from Thursday. A Rs 1.05 crore Friday indicates that it may likely have a Rs 5 crore second weekend. The global total of Leo (all languages) has gone past Rs 500 crores gross and it has its sight on creating all time records. It is by far the most preferred Dussehra release, followed by Bhagavanth Kesari, Tiger Nageswara Rao, Ganapath and Yaariyan 2. Coming back to the performance of films on the 27th of October, Martin Scorsese's film Killers Of The Flower Moon starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Robert De Niro and others collected around Rs 55-60 lakhs in its limited release. This number is pretty decent for a 3 and a half our long drama film.
