Bhootni Fails to Impress with Modest Opening, Sanjay Dutt Appeals
The success of 'The Bhootnii' relies heavily on the support of cinema owners, distributors, and the audience, and the film's makers are hopeful that their appeal will be heard, and the film will get the chance it deserves to succeed in the competitive box office landscape.
Sanjay Dutt's latest horror-comedy film 'The Bhootnii' has opened with a modest Rs 65 lakhs on its first day at the box office, despite a gradual increase in occupancy throughout the day. The film received mixed reviews, with ETimes giving it 2 stars, and an overall occupancy of 18.90%, with Mumbai and Pune showing relatively better interest.
The film's performance over the weekend and in smaller towns will be crucial for its overall success. Sanjay Dutt expressed disappointment over the current state of the film industry, stating that it has become divided and that filmmakers are not supporting each other. He emphasized the importance of unity, saying that every film is crucial for the industry's growth.
Dutt also expressed concerns that his movie "The Bhootnii" is not receiving adequate support from cinema owners and distributors, but remains optimistic about its success. The makers of The Bhootni are requesting distributors and cinema owners to allocate more screens to the film, citing that they have been allotted limited screens. The film has received positive reports and packed shows, but the makers claim they are not getting a fair chance.
Sanjay Dutt had earlier expressed his disappointment over the film's limited screens, calling for equal opportunity in the industry. The film's makers are now appealing to the audience and the film industry to come together and support each other for the industry's growth and prosperity, and to give their film a fair share of screens.
