Thugs of Hindostan Box Office collection Day 2: Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan starrer set to cross 100 crore?
Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs of Hindostan released on Diwali and the film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Sheikh in pivotal roles. As per reports, the film has destroyed all box office records as it collected 50 crore nett range on the first day.
Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan starrer Thugs of Hindostan was one of the most anticipated films of the year. Ever since the makers of Thugs of Hindostan dropped the trailer of the film online, the buzz around the film has been at its peak. From Katrina Kaif’s dance numbers to Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan’s banter in the film, fans were thrilled to watch the film for its stellar star cast and visual spectacle. After the film released on Diwali, i.e. November 8, 2018, the reviews of the film started to pour in and much to the surprise of the fans and actors alike, the film wasn’t getting positive reviews. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and reviewed the film as ‘Disappointing’, fans too expressed their sense of disappointment with the film. Today, when Pinkvilla contacted Film and Trade Business Analyst Girish Johar, he told us, "Comparing from yesterday there is an estimated 35% drop seen in collections up till now but yesterday was a huge holiday & tomorrow being a Saturday...the collections are expected to hold up in the evening & night shows for today. All said, one thing is clear that the feedback is mixed & not good nor great as people were expecting huge & strong content from a deadly combo of Amitabh Bachchan Sir, Aamir & YRF ...so a letdown in there certainly."
However, a report in Box Office India claims that the advance booking of the film, which opened on Saturday, is hinting at houseful shows with 2 lakh tickets being already sold for the first day. The report also states that the film has already broken the record of films like Tiger Zinda Hai, Sanju and Avengers - Infinity War advance booking. Trade analyst Girish Johar says the movie should around earn Rs 50 crore. “In all the languages, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, Thugs of Hindostan will earn Rs 50 crore on the day of its release. And, if the content of the film also turns out to be decent, it will reach the Rs 100 crore mark within 2-3 days,” Girish Johar informed. As per reports in Box Office India, Thugs of Hindostan will also be receiving Rs 145 crore box office collections from the neighboring country China. The film has turned out to be the eighth biggest opening for Aamir and it's his 45th release in his career of more than three decades.
Thanks to the festive season and no other big release this week, Girish Johar feels that all these factors will work in favor of the film and make it cross the 100 crore mark. “The factors that will work in favour of Thugs of Hindostan are, one, it is a big holiday release, secondly, it is releasing on the biggest window available for a Bollywood film as there are no other releases scheduled around it and third, the film boasts of big names like Aamir, Amitabh, Katrina and Yash Raj Films,” informed Johar.
Besides Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, Thugs of Hindostan also stars Katrina Kaif, Lloyd Owen and Fatima Sana Shaikh in pivotal roles.
