When big ticket Bollywood films like Laxmii skipped theatrical release due to the fear of failing at the box office due to the pandemic, makers of Indoo Ki Jawani released it in theaters.
The film starring Kiara Advani in the lead role was released in theaters across the globe on Friday and has paid the price for taking the bold step.
Indoo Ki Jawani had a disastrous opening weekend across India as well as in overseas markets. The film couldn’t even collect Rs 1 Cr nett collections in India and its numbers in the overseas territories are even disastrous.
Hollywood action film Tenet that opened to houseful crowds last weekend had a decent second weekend in multiplexes.
Most of the single theaters have still remained closed and those that are opened are witnessing very low footfalls.
The real pulse of the filmgoers can be gauged only when big ticket films are out. But the producers are not willing to release big films with the restrictions still in place.
