MASAAN And Other New Releases Underperform Due To Mega Biz Of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN
Last few weeks saw some humongous business at box office thanks to ''Bahubali'' and ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan''. This week saw release of much acclaimed film ''Masaan'' and new Marvel superhero film ''Ant- Man'' in addition to few small poor films like ''Aisa Yeh Jahaan''.
Much hyped film ''Masaan'' released all over with rather decent number of shows but film failed miserably despite huge critical acclaim. Film managed some good shows in metros and high end plexes but overall it was extremely poor. Film struggled to cross even 25-30 lakhs nett on day one.
Other Hindi release ''Aisa Yeh Jahaan'' was complete washout despite decent promotion and decent release. Film got horrible reviews and was washout at box office with less than 10 lakhs nett on day one.
Disney released Marvel film ''Ant-Man'' managed some sort of numbers in metros but overall even that was average. Film collected meager 1.02 cr nett on day one and it needs big jump in coming days to make an impact.
