Box Office 2020 VS 2019: With Chhapaak, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Panga & Others, Will This January Be As Fruitful As The Last One?

Box Office: The year of 2019 saw a monumental start right from its first month i.e. January. Often described as a dry month at the ticket windows, we saw all-time blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike coming out as a surprise at the very start of the year. Also, Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi amassed decent moolah by falling just short of 100 crore mark.

Apart from the aforementioned movies, there were other small to medium-scaled movies too, which added some sort of numbers in the month of January. Speaking about Bollywood, about 5 notable movies arrived in January 2019 including- The Accidental Prime Minister, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Why Cheat India, Thackeray and Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. They accounted for a business of around 403 crores.

The number of 403 crores sound tough to be surpassed but despite a dismal start to 2020 with small releases like Sab Kushal Mangal, Shimla Mirchi and others crashing down, there are brighter prospects with biggies like Deepika Padukone’s Chhapaak, Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Kangana Ranaut’s Panga, Varun Dhawan-Shraddha Kapoor’s Street Dancer 3D and Saif Ali Khan’s Jawaani Jaaneman, awaiting the release.

Going by the numbers, each of the 5 above-mentioned movies will need to make an average collection of around 80.60 crores, which is attainable. Also, there are several small releases that might work wonders due to positive word-of-mouth.
