‘Brahmastra’ makes Rs.36.5 Cr on Opening Day, Likely to cross Rs.100 Cr after weekend

‘Brahmastra’ seems to have finally broken the so-called boycott trollers and made a headway to cross the Rs.100 crore target by Monday, going by the expectations running high.
Released on Friday, the opening day collections were reported to be in the range of Rs 36.50 crore to Rs 38.50 crore, a figure far better than pre-pandemic blockbusters ‘Sanju’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘Dhoom 3’.
Despite the boycott call and negative reviews and tweets by business analyst Taran Adarsh, who wrote,”Brahmāstra is a king-sized disappointment… High on VFX, low on content [second half nosedives]… Brahmāstra could’ve been a game changer, but, alas, it’s a missed opportunity… All gloss, no soul,” the film is doing well in its initial days.

According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, early estimates indicated that the Ayan Mukherji movie has collected the above figures. Whether the move, made at a whopping cost of Rs.415 cr will make at least Rs. 500 crore, however, remains to be seen.

According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, its first-day earnings have surpassed those of the biggest post-pandemic grosser, the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-led ‘Sooryavanshi’.With no major release to counter the movie until the upcoming actioner ‘Vikram Vedha’ starring Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan on September 30, ‘Brahmastra’ is expected to carry on its run to a decent returns with high ticket rates ranging from Rs. 1,000 in Mumbai to Rs. 2,000 in Delhi at top malls.

“The film has fared exceptionally well in the multiplexes and the mass belts too stood their ground with spot bookings,” ‘Bollywood Hungama’ wrote.

Besides Hindi, the film’s other language versions are reportedly bringing in viewers going by the opening day’s collection of Rs. 5 crore each and the occupancy rate ranging anywhere between 40 and 50% in major South Indian cities.

Ranbir remembered that “Brahmastra started for Ayan and me in 2013. We were doing a film called ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ and during one of the schedules in Manali, he came and told me that he had this idea of two friends (this was before ‘RRR’) one of whom had the power of fire and the other the power of water. Of course, the film didn’t turn out the way he thought at that time and it has turned out the way you guys are seeing it right now.”

He thanked his co-actors and said, “I had the honour of working with legends such as Amitabh Bachchan sir and Nag(arjuna) sir in this film.” Thanking Rajamouli, who is presenting the film, he said, “Never in my wildest dreams have I thought that I would have a poster with S.S. Rajamouli’s name and my face on it. That is such a big privilege. Thank you so much for this.”

Talking about Alia Bhatt, his wife and co-star in the film, Ranbir said she is one of the best actors he has ever worked with and he had the good fortune of finally marrying her.

“Alia is somebody whom I met on this film. Our romance started on this film’s set but by the time the film got over, we are married and expecting a baby also. So, you can really understand how long this journey has been,” the actor said, adding, “It is really an emotional moment for all of us.”
