Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari opened yesterday (Sunday) to a limited response but it was not that there was no audience. Its the first release after more than 8 months so in reality the first objective is some people do come to the theatres (Is Love Enough - Sir released on Friday which makes that the first release but that film would hardly get any footfalls in a normal scenario).The hope was a 3 crore nett type of number which the film would have got roughly if it had a normal non holiday release pre covid19. Its basically the big holiday factor compensating the covid19 factor but that was too much to ask for at this present time.

The film got a huge release in the metros with multiplexes going to 14 and 16 shows but many cinemas still remain shut due to rental issues over the non opening in the covid19 period. The audience count in the shows screened were in the 20-25 range in the afternoon and evenings on average so people have come but the industry had hoped for more to give confidence for more releases to come over the next month or so.

The North India numbers are a struggle considering the strong release in these parts and because this is where the film should have outperformed due and it could be that covid19 infections are on the rise in Delhi which makes the public more wary to come out.

Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is not exactly that big film to get the audience out but it could be worse that something like the Diwali week OTT releases like Chhalaang and Ludo came. The public reports are average for the film but its going to the main film in cinemas for sometime to come so it remains to be seen what happens.

The collections and territory numbers will be given over the next few days as its slow reporting and not like the normal DCRs which were there 7-8 months back.

Didn't know it released in theatre

Bollywood pe Corona bhari.

"opened yesterday (Sunday) to a limited response but it was not that there was no audience"

LOL! In any given day BOI would have trashed this film and called it a disaster. But see how kind they are being now? Paapi pet ka sawaal hai. Theatres have to resume for them to have a livelihood, so they have to invoke positivity somehow. Oh, how times have changed!

Okay, so BOI thinks Chalaang or Ludo would've done worse if released in theaters.

Although both movies had bigger stars and more hype around them. No one cared about Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari before release.

So much arrogance doesn't suit BOI at this point.

No one would have watched it even without corona

It's not just corona. A new movie released after 8 months. Audience should've been more interested in watching it.

Not to forget this movie released on the best day of the year.

BOI sounds very snobbish even in this article. Jerks 👎🏼

Apparently the first day collection is 75 lacs as per Himesh and even lower 10 lcs as per KRK .THEATRES ARE DOOMED

Under normal circumstances, I don't think this movie's outcome would have provoked more than idle curiosity. But because it's COVID times, movie theatres and box office are more under the scanner than ever before.
