All eyes are on Ajay Devgn's ‘Bholaa’ now that Pathaan and ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ have been released. With the huge success of ‘Drishyam 2’, the actor is back and riding high on his own momentum, which is undoubtedly helping his upcoming action-thriller generate a positive pre-release hype. But are the box office figures also reflecting it? Let's see how the movie is doing with the advance reservations!
The movie, directed by Ajay, is an authentic remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj's 2019 Tamil film ‘Kaithi’, which starred Karthi in the lead role. Even though it's risky to remake a film, Ajay's ‘Drishyam 2’ has astonished everyone by grossing well over 200 crores net in India despite being an official remake.
Returning to ‘Bholaa’, the movie's advance reservations started yesterday. Given that there are still 11 days till the release on March 30, it's an unusual decision. The Ajay Devgn-starring film is putting on an outstanding performance; in only a few hours, more than 1200 tickets, including IMAX and 4DX versions have been sold nationwide.
The producers' decision to use a blockbuster pricing approach is greatly benefiting ‘Bholaa’ . According to an update from last night, the movie grossed 7.05 lakhs in advance booking, including 4.25 lakhs for the IMAX 3D version.
This is an excellent performance thus far, and as the release date approaches, one anticipates ‘Bholaa’ to step up the pace.
