Bollywood is betting big on Brahmastra Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Karan Johar, is off to a fantastic start at the box office, with over 2 lakh tickets sold on day one and over 3 lakh tickets sold for the opening weekend alone at the three national multiplex chains. Before the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer hopefully hits the box office jackpot, here’s a list of reasons why the film’s fortunes are linked not only to those involved with it, but also to the future of the entire Hindi film industry.
Brahmastra has the potential to resurrect Bollywood at the box office.
Many big movies with big stars have bombed at the box office, from Laal Singh Chaddha and Bachchhan Paandey to Runway 34 and Ranbir’s own Shamshera, leaving haters ecstatic. The success of Brahmastra will determine the fate of Bollywood.
‘Boycott Bollywood’ trolls are silenced by Brahmastra advance booking
Brahmastra has made such a fantastic start that it has silenced the irrational ‘Boycott Bollywood’ crowd, because if the content clicks, the film will be set for a long and prosperous run. However, that content must be engaging because if the film fails to perform well after its opening weekend, the trolls will emerge from the woodwork to gloat once more.
The success of Brahmastra at the box office is critical to regaining control from the South
Regardless of how rosy the picture is painted, different film industries exist and will always exist in the industry, and the Telugu film industry, in particular, is revealing in usurping Bollywood in its own market after years of dominance by the latter. Brahmastra can reclaim that lost ground on her own.
What do you think about this movie? Will it be a blockbuster?
