The magic of the Hollywood film 'Superman' is captivating audiences worldwide. However, currently in theaters, 'Superman' is facing stiff competition from other major Hollywood releases such as 'Jurassic Park Rebirth' and Brad Pitt's 'F1'.
Entertainment: This week saw a major clash between Hollywood and Bollywood films in theaters, but it appears the crown of victory at the box office will once again be placed upon the head of the Hollywood film 'Superman'. In its first week of release in India, 'Superman' has established a b foothold, and its popularity is sustained worldwide.
On the other hand, Rajkummar Rao's film 'Malik' and Shanaya Kapoor starrer 'Ankhon Ki Gustakhiyan' have completely failed to draw audiences to theaters.
'Superman' Shines, Bumper Earnings at the Worldwide Box Office
'Superman', directed by James Gunn, is maintaining a good hold not only in the international market but also in India. Although its earnings in India are not staggering, they are definitely better compared to other films. According to sacnilk data, 'Superman' has earned a total of ₹23.33 crore in India so far. Of this, ₹16.63 crore came from the English version and ₹5.96 crore from the Hindi version.
- Tuesday's Earnings: ₹2.3 crore
- Wednesday's Earnings: ₹2.2 crore
If we talk about the worldwide collection, 'Superman' has done business of about ₹1850 crore so far, which is putting it in the list of the biggest films of this year.
'Ankhon Ki Gustakhiyan': Even a Star Kid Couldn't Save Its Poor Performance
Shanaya Kapoor's film 'Ankhon Ki Gustakhiyan' is a love story based on romance and emotion, but from the very first day, this film has badly failed to attract the audience.
- Opening Day Earnings: Just ₹30 lakh
- Sixth Day Earnings: Only ₹9 lakh
- Total Collection So Far: ₹1.68 crore
With this figure, this film has become one of the most flop openings for a star kid's film in recent times.
'Malik' Story and Box Office Situation
Rajkummar Rao's film 'Malik' is the story of a boy who becomes a gangster and rogue due to poverty and compulsion. The film is directed by Pulkit. Although the film's trailer and promotion were b, their impact was not visible at the box office as the makers expected. 'Malik's' earnings so far:
- Total Collection So Far: ₹19.70 crore
- Wednesday's Earnings: ₹1.60 crore
Rajkummar Rao's acting was certainly praised, but 'Malik' also looked pale in front of a global film like 'Superman'.
'Superman' Leaves These Films Behind
'Superman' is proving to be a challenge not only for 'Malik' but also for 'Ankhon Ki Gustakhiyan' and recently released films like 'Jurassic Park Rebirth' and Brad Pitt's 'F1'. Although none of these films have been able to dominate the box office, 'Superman' has been more successful in earning money due to its popularity and international fan following.
The biggest shortcomings in recent Bollywood films seem to be in content and presentation. While Hollywood films come with big star casts, high-level technology, and b stories, Hindi films, on the other hand, are showing the same worn-out love stories or weak scripts. As a result, films like 'Malik' and 'Ankhon Ki Gustakhiyan' have failed to win the hearts of the audience.
