K-786 and Talash loss making movies

Talaash and K-786 are unlikely to make it to the 100 cr club

As mentioned last week Akshay Kumar's Khiladi 786 got off to a decent start in single screens across India and Talaash kept the multiplexes happy even in its second weekend.

Collections for Khiladi are average in India and overseas. The fate of Talaash is very good overseas and fair in India. However neither of these films have made a killing despite having two of the biggest names ' Aamir Khan and Akshay ' as their lead actor.

A trade source says, "Khiladi got a thumbs down; and whatever it collected is only on account of Akshay . But even he couldn't stretch his star power beyond a limit. As for Talaash, it evoked mixed reports from the beginning. Suspense films have a limited shelf life. Talaash was was a high-price acquisition for the studio that bankrolled it. So while the box office numbers are fairly good, the acquisition cost is too high for the studio to rejoice."

Khiladi 786 (11 days)
Total '59.25 cr
Expected overseas revenue : '7 cr
Satellite: '22 cr
Home Video and Music: '6 cr

Talaash (18 days)
Total '85 cr
Expected overseas revenue : '25 cr
Satellite: '35 cr
Home Video and Music: '6 cr

Reliance.

Is Reliance mad! Buying this movie at the price of 80/90 crore (assuming) is idiocy. 🤔

Such idiots have jacked up the rates of everything in Bollywood.

So the price of the tickets of this one was also more than the usuals? 🤔
