Sooryavanshi Box Office: Rohit Shetty Scores His Fourth Biggest Opener, Keeps His Amazing Record Intact ( Photo Credit – Movie Still )

 

Sooryavanshi Box Office: In a career spanning 18 years, Rohit Shetty has seen only one under performer, Sunday (which too was a good movie by the way, and its funny scenes featuring Irrfan Khan and Arshad Warsi have bloomed late but have stayed in circulation). Otherwise, each of his other releases has been a success, ranging from decent to blockbuster.

Now with the kind of opening that his latest release Sooryavanshi has taken, while it is a hit in the making for sure, it has to be seen if it moves towards the superhit or blockbuster status as well. The film has taken a major opening of 26.29 crores and that’s truly amazing as it was always going to be a ‘band mutthi’. No one really knew where will the film eventually head towards but the kind of conviction that the filmmaker showed in holding on to the release only for theatres now speaks volumes in retrospection.

Of course, it could well have been on the darker side as well, and then the pessimists would have come up with all kind of theories to not just criticize the decision but also called out the release as a major fall for Bollywood in general.
