Box Office: As the new Bollywood releases bagged in just over a crores on their first day, let’s take a look at the holdover releases. Let’s take a look at the box office collections of Varun Dhawan-Alia Bhatt led Kalank and The Tashkent Files.

As for The Tashkent Files, the film is seeing the best occupancy amidst all Bollywood films in the running. Playing at just a little over 250 screens, the film managed to collect 0.35 crores* on its fourth Friday as well which is quite similar to the first Friday [0.40 crores]. The film has managed to survive Kalankand Avengers: Endgame onslaught and is finding audiences of is own. Currently standing at 11.84 crores*, the film will go past the 13 crores mark before the close of the week.

Kalank is closing down though with 0.20 crores* more coming in. The film stands at 81 crores* currently and should fold up around the 82 crores* mark. Flop.


Shweta should be in place of Alia considering her talent.🥳..she should get more opportunities but big production houses like Dharma shall always offer her minuscule roles. It's better to do powerful roles in meaningful cinema

The film deserves the success..no one thought tht it would male even 10 lakhs lifetime such was the anticipation. But the word of mouth spread like wild fire...


As for Kalank it should not have been even made in the first place.

KJo PR you mean?

KJo can suck a sour lemon.. on a 150 cr budget.. this is not just flop but a disaster. Kalank joins the disaster movies list. That's what all should report./

250 screens is such a tragedy in this context.

But why BOI is calling The Tashkent Files an 'average' affair despite the film doing 3x business of its budget...and that too released on such small count


honestly i can never understand the mathematics of the box office, it's just too difficult to crack
