The star-studded cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif couldn't help pull people to the cinemas. The film minted Rs 1.33 bn in 5 days, which is way behind the Rs 3 bn budget of the film.
The
combination of Aamir
Khan, Amitabh
Bachchan and Katrina Kaif hasn't helped Thugs of Hindostan garner
box office numbers after the first day. After minting a record Rs 500
million on Day 1, the multistarrer's fortunes have been in a free
fall as it collected just above Rs 1.33 billion in the first five
days after release.
By
the time the weekend was over, the movie seemed to have gone out of
favour with the audience as it struggled to notch up even a tenth of
its Day 1 figures on Monday and Tuesday.
Bollywood
analyst Taran Adarsh summed up the box office figures as follows:
Hindi:
Thursday:
Rs 507.5 million
Friday:
Rs 282.5 million
Saturday:
Rs 227.5 million
Sunday:
Rs 172.5 million
Monday:
Rs 55 million
Tuesday:
Rs 43.5 million
Total:
Rs 1.28 billion
Tamil
+ Telugu collection for five days: Rs 49 million
Grand
total: Rs 1.33 billion
Adarsh
called the movie the biggest shocker of the year in a tweet.
Trailer
of the 'shocker'
Here's
how news agency ANI had reviewed the movie's trailer:
The
trailer of Vijay Krishna Acharya's "Thugs
Of Hindostan" turns out to be much ado about nothing, except
Aamir Khan.
The
trailer opens with an interesting interlude where the mighty
(Amitabh) Bachchan baritone which resonates across a skyline clearly
painted with the same colours as "The Pirates Of Caribbean".
Bachchan
is a pirate from the "Lagaan" era and among his rugged band
of thugs is Fatima Sana Shaikh who looks determined to prove "Dangal"
was no flash in the pan. But Katrina Kaif is happy with the status
quo. She poses and preens as though she had walked into the "Chikni
chameli" sets again.
