Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s action film Ganapath opened to a low collection on day 1, earning ₹8.25 crore nett at the box office. The film was released on 20 October 2023 and was anticipated to take a good opening given the star power of Shroff and Sanon.
still, the film’s opening is lower than Shroff’s former releases similar to War( ₹53.35 crore nett), Baaghi 3( ₹51.50 crore nett), and Heropanti 2( ₹16.50 crore nett). The film’s opening is also lower than Sanon’s former releases similar to Mimi( ₹4.07 crore nett), Luka Chuppi( ₹8.01 crore nett), and Housefull 4( ₹19.02 crore nett).
Trade judges believe that the film’s low opening is due to a number of factors, including the ongoing boycott of Bollywood flicks, the film’s release date colliding with the Diwali gleeful season, and the film’s lack of buzz.
The film’s opening is a reversal for Shroff, who has been floundering to deliver a megahit film in recent times. His last megahit film was War in 2019. Sanon, on the other hand, has been on a roll in recent times, with her flicks Mimi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4 all being critical and marketable successes.
It remains to be seen whether Ganapath will be suitable to pick up over the weekend. still, the film’s low opening is a cause for concern for the makers of the film.
Despite its low opening, Ganapath still has a chance to be a success. The film has received positive reviews from critics, and word-of-mouth could help the film’s collections over the weekend. also, the film’s action sequences are likely to appeal to Shroff’s suckers.
still, the film will need to show significant growth over the weekend in order to be a success. However, it’ll be a major reversal for Shroff and Sanon, If the film’s collections don’t ameliorate.
