30th March 2023, Mumbai: Bhola, which stars Ajay Devgn and Tabu, has received just modest advance bookings. Although the advance reservations started off well, the momentum has not been as strong. After the huge success of Drishyam 2, the movie reunites Ajay and Tabu. A similar outcome was anticipated for their upcoming project, but based on the anticipated box office results, it doesn’t appear likely. The mass actioner must depend on spot reservations to secure a good opening day attendance.
Six hours before the film’s scheduled release date, 22,000 tickets from national chains had been sold for the Ajay-Tabu starrer. The figures are inadequate; by the end of the day, there will only have been about 35,000 tickets sold, which is about one-third of the tickets Drishyam 2 sold before it was released. Bhola has the advantage of Maha-Shivratri, which should help the opening day numbers significantly. Drishyam 2 released on a non-holiday Friday. Strong crowd support is anticipated throughout the day because it is a single-screen entertainer.
In its early run, the movie will gain earnings from a few holidays, but because of Ramzan, the Muslim populace will remain away. Up till the release of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, there won’t be any Hindi film competition for three weeks. We’ll have to wait and see if the movie makes the most of its wide release.
Bhola might have a gross opening in India of between Rs 10 and Rs 11 crores depending on a number of variables. It will be very beneficial for the film’s prospects if the general audience gives it positive reviews. The theatre business is vital for the investors because Bhola is a rather pricey movie. Together with Dasara, Bhola is released. Dasara will likely have a bigger opening day than Bhola in India and internationally, but since Hindi movies typically hold up better, we may anticipate that Bhola will surpass Dasara by day 2 if word-of-mouth is favourable. Tomorrow marks the debut of Dasara’s Hindi dub, so it will be interesting to watch if that movie might harm Bhola’s chances.
