The tale concept, the all-star ensemble, and the actors’ acting prowess have all been highly praised in the movie Drishyam 2, which stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Akshaye Khanna. Nevertheless, according to media sources, four days after its premiere, the movie has already made Rs 75 crore and is on track to join the 100 crore club shortly. Manoj Desai, a cinema exhibitor and former producer, spoke out amid all of this about how Drishyam 2 is playing to packed houses in Mumbai’s famous theatres.
For those who are unaware, Drishyam and Drishyam 2 are based on South Indian films with the same story about a man who will sacrifice anything for his family and include Mohanlal.
For the first time in years, Mumbai’s famed theatres, which also include Maratha Mandir, which can hold 1000 people, and Gaiety Galaxy, which can hold 1200 people, appear to have sold-out performances of Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 2. In an interview with the FilmiFever Youtube channel, film exhibitor Manoj Desai discussed it and said, “We were in tears because Bollywood films were performing so poorly. But a movie has produced houseful shows after so many years.
Further, the owner of Gaiety Galaxy also added that if Bollywood starts making fresh and quality content, it can easily cross Drishyam 2’s sucess! He said, “But Bollywood doesn’t want to bother. Producers will put the burden on distributors, and the distributors will put the burden on exhibitors. They will be safe, but we’ll be left to pick up the scraps. For the first time in so long, we are bathing in the waters of the river Ganga with them.”
Well, only four out of all the films that released this year made good numbers at the box office. Brahmastra, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files were the ones. Noticing to which, Drishyam 2 is heading towards the same. 2022 might indeed be leading the list of the worst years’ list for Bollywood, But, 2022 is yet to be completed.
