The news of Akshay Kumar’s Bell Bottom releasing on 27th July has come as a sigh of relief for many cinema-hall owners around the country. If you don’t consider Salman Khan’s hybrid gimmick with Radhe, this would be the first big box office release since the implementation of lockdown in March 2020.
The release of Bell Bottom would be an excellent study of how the box office reacts after the long sabbatical. Of course, things won’t be the same as they were before the lockdown. But, all eyes would be on the number of footfalls Bell Bottom would earn.
Today, let’s take a look at the box office collection of Akshay Kumar’s last ten films and their (available) footfalls.

Knowing the current scenario, it would be interesting to see if Bell Bottom could enter the 100 crore club beating all the odds. Tracking Akshay’s last 10 films and matching it with the condition theatres could be in July all over India, a 50-55 lakh footfall range seems to be achievable. If the prediction comes true, the box office collection could be anywhere in the range of 65-70 crores. This ain’t at all a bad number considering this is a comeback film for not just one actor but the whole Bollywood.
