The film took a slower start compared to Irrfan Khan starrer but performed well over the weekend to eventually take a lead.
After the COVID-19 pandemic struck India in 2020, Dinesh Vijan's Angrezi Medium, starring Irrfan Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Radhika Madan had only opened in theatres. Despite an adequate opening of 4.03 crores, the movie grossed a total of 10.48 crores throughout its entire run.
The explanation for this is that the complete lockdown. Dinesh's Roohi has spanned Angrezi Medium in only the first lengthy weekend, just 1 year after its launch. The movie got off to a slower start than Irrfan Khan's movie, but picked up momentum over the weekend and slowly took the lead.
At the elongated weekend, the Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, And Varun Sharma starrer created a total of 12.58 crores. The horror-comedy seems to have done well so far, being the first Bollywood movie to crack the ten-crore mark regardless of the pandemic. Sooraj Pe Mangal Bhari has been the highest-grossing Hindi movie in the former calendar year. The movie starring Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh, and Fatima Sana Shaikh grossed Rs. 4 crores in the box office. In fact, in the middle of the pandemic in India, leading Hollywood movies like Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984 barely broke the 10 crore mark. According to present trends, Roohi will surpass the 20 crore mark and will target to get a life gross profit of 25 crores or more at the box office.
Given the difficult conditions under which Roohi has been released, this can be a remarkable accomplishment. Mumbai Saga, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Saina would be the following Bollywood movies to hit theaters this season. The horror-comedy has set the tone for all these pictures; all that's left is for them to return to business.
Meanwhile, Dinesh Vijan recently reported the opportunity of a producer incurring losses has diminished as a consequence of the arrival of satellite and digital rights.
He explained, “Digital is a significant contributor but the difference for me is that the audience chooses to go to a theatre and watch a film, so it is a more challenging or daunting task to do — because you need to engage your viewer to come and watch and like film.”
He asserts that a movie's 'true perception' is determined by its own theatrical release.
“It’s a very reactive medium but, yes, with the advent of new avenues, digital and satellite takeaway comprise a considerable amount of your risk even if you go theatrical. But if it runs in theatres there are so many years of legacy that stays,” he said.
