Abhishek Bachchan has arrived in the theaters with a heartwarming tale titled I Want To Talk. The film targets a niche audience but has still opened way low to talk about. However, owing to word of mouth, the film is expected to grow over the weekend, and hopefully, it does!
I Want To Talk Box Office Collection Day 1
On the opening day, the film earned almost 25 lakh at the box office, making it one of the lowest openings of this year. In fact, it is the lowest opening for Abhishek Bachchan as well in the last 10 years, at least!
Bachchan Family Member’s Last Films
Jaya Bachchan appeared in a very big commercial film, and it is a very unfair comparison with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani. Amitabh Bachchan’s last Hindi film at the box office was Uunchai, which opened at 1.81 crore. Even his other films in the last few years have opened in the same range. Goodbye earned 1 crore on Day 1, andJhund collected 1.50 crore.
Even the lesser known and less publicized Chehre opened at 0.50 crore at the box office in 2021. Coming to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actress’s last Hindi film at the box office was Fanney Khan in 2018, but it opened 8 times better than Abhishek Bachchan‘s I Want To Talk. Starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, the film opened at 2.15 crore.
Other Aishwarya Rai films in the last 10 years include Jazbaa, which opened at 4.23 crore, and Sarbjit, which earned 3.69 crore on day 1.
Clearly, Abhishek Bachchan’s I Want To Talk is the lowest opening film coming from the members of the Bachchan family in the last 10 years. However, it might eventually pick up magically over the weekend.
