This is not a big box office clash, but Biker and RaaKaaSaa are now facing tough competition.
Actually, Biker did not expect this kind of fight. The film was postponed twice so that it could release without competition. Even when RaaKaaSaa was in the race, the team thought it was a small film and would not affect much.
But now, RaaKaaSaa is giving strong competition.
In fact, during the weekend, RaaKaaSaa has slightly done better than Biker in some areas, especially among urban youth.
Biker was released with a target of around â¹40 crore gross, while RaaKaaSaa has a target of around â¹20 crore gross. These may not be big numbers, but RaaKaaSaa’s presence is clearly impacting Biker.
Till now, both films relied on promotions.
Sharwanand has been actively visiting theatres and meeting audiences. At the same time, the Raakaasa team is also promoting the film with events and theatre visits.
But from today, the real test starts.
Weekdays have begun, and IPL is also running, which can affect collections. Now it will be interesting to see whether both films can reach breakeven.
Right now, Biker needs around â¹28–29 crore more, while RaaKaaSaa needs around â¹8–9 crore more to be safe.
And to add more pressure, Dacoitis also coming soon. So, the real test has now started for both films.
