The much talked about and keenly anticipated release Brahmastra was released a week ago. Directed by Ayan Mukherji the Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt starrer opened on a good note. With a good spate of advance bookings, and positive feedback from the audience the business of Brahmastra has been seeing consistent growth even on weekdays.
In this box office report, we look at the opening week collections of Brahmastra while comparing the same to Ranbir Kapoor’s previous releases. Collecting Rs. 170.20 cr, Brahmastra fails to surpass the collections of Sanju, which had collected Rs. 202.51 cr, to emerge as Ranbir Kapoor’s second highest opening week grosser. On the other hand, though, Brahmastra which saw a release across over 5000 screens in the domestic market does manage to out beat the business of Ranbir’s other releases. In fact, the film surpasses Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which collected Rs. 107.61 cr, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil which collected Rs. 80.19 cr, Raajneeti which collected Rs. 56 cr, Tamasha which collected Rs. 53.46 cr, Besharam that collected Rs. 52.10 cr, and others.
Going forward, Brahmastra, which continues to dominate the box office, is expected to see an increase in business over its second weekend. In fact, trade predictions state that with little competition, it is likely that the overall business could cross the Rs. 200 cr.
