29 May 2023, Mumbai: Vidyut Jammwal’s latest venture, “IB 71,” a spy thriller based on a confidential mission during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, has failed to make a mark at the box office. Despite efforts to generate pre-release buzz, the film received average to poor reviews and struggled to attract audiences.
Declining Collections and Final Verdict
From its opening day, “IB 71” received a lukewarm response and failed to gain momentum throughout its release. With only 4000 tickets sold in advance, it became evident that the film was headed for disappointment. It managed to collect a mere 1.67 cr nett on its first day, indicating poor performance. Over the weekend, the film saw slight growth, but overall collections remained below par. After a lackluster first week, “IB 71” faced a significant drop in collections during its second week, with a 55% decline from the previous week. Despite a slight jump on its third weekend, the film’s total collections stand at 18.45 cr nett after 17 days. It is projected to finish with a lifetime collection of under 21-22 cr nett, ultimately marking it as another box office disappointment for Vidyut Jammwal.
Synopsis of “IB 71”
In “IB 71,” Vidyut Jammwal portrays the character of an Air Force officer involved in a covert mission that played a crucial role in India’s victory during the 1971 war. The film, which also stars Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa, showcases the untold story of 30 agents on a top-secret mission to safeguard the nation. The plot revolves around blocking the airspace to prevent attacks from Pakistan and China, highlighting the patriotism and bravery of the Indian intelligence agency, IB. Despite its promising premise, “IB 71” struggled to captivate audiences and failed to translate its potential into box office success.
