Ustaad Bhagat Singh featuring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar opened on a decent note with a few early premieres and managed respectable numbers on day one. However, the film witnessed a noticeable drop in collections on the following day two, raising concerns in trade circles.
The coming weekend is now crucial for the film’s box office performance. With a Saturday holiday for Eid and a regular Sunday advantage, the makers will be hoping for a strong recovery in the next few days. The occupancy in multiple areas will be closely monitored.
So far, the youth audience has given mixed reactions, which puts the responsibility on family audiences to drive footfalls in the next few days. On the positive side, ticket price hikes have been kept at moderate levels, making it easier for a wider audience to consider watching the film.
If the content connects, especially with families, Ustaad Bhagat Singh still has a good chance to pick up momentum over the weekend. Another advantage is that the Telugu version of Dhurandhar 2 is expected to release only on Monday, as per trade reports.
This gives Ustaad Bhagat Singh a clear window over the weekend to maximize its collections and stabilize its run. Raashii Khanna and Sreeleela play female leads in this film produced by Mythri Movie Makers. One needs to see how much will the cop drama make in the days to come.
