After tasting the tremendous box office success with Kalki 2898 AD, Kamal Haasan immediately suffered a major blow. His Indian 2 has emerged as a colossal failure at the box office, with embarrassing numbers coming in from its original Tamil and other dubbed versions. In the first 8 days, the biggie has pulled off a dismal total with its Hindi-dubbed version and is aiming to end its run below the 10 crore mark in India. Keep reading to know more!
Its predecessor, India, was a huge critical and commercial success upon its release in 1996, so expectations were obviously really high. Kamal is a legend of Indian cinema, so his face was definitely an important factor in attracting footfalls in the Hindi belt. Other than him, the brand of director Shankar was expected to attract the audience, but that hasn’t happened at all.
