Mr Bachchan : Film Earns in single digits, suffers from ‘mega clash’ in cinemas
Ravi Teja‘s latest film Mr. Bachchan had a challenging opening day at the box office, earning only in single digits. The film faced tough competition from two major releases in the South—Vikram’s Thangalaan and Ram Pothineni’s Double iSmart.
This “mega clash” for screen space and audience attention resulted in a subdued performance for Mr. Bachchan, particularly in regions where these films were highly anticipated. Despite the star power of Ravi Teja, the simultaneous release of these films created a divided audience, impacting overall collections across the country.
The film, a Telugu remake of Ajay Devgan’s Raid, had significant expectations, but the competition proved stiff, demonstrating the challenges of multiple high-profile releases on the same day.
The modest opening for Mr. Bachchan highlights the risks associated with releasing a film during a crowded box office period. Despite Ravi Teja‘s fanbase, the simultaneous launch of Thangalaan and Double iSmart in key markets reduced its impact. The film’s fate in the coming days will depend on word of mouth and how well it holds up against the strong competition.
