Box office collection and the negativity around the movie


I don't quite understand this, movie is a pre-period film, it has it's own takers and competition of the same is with Akshay Kumar's movie who has recently gained dependable image and hence people naturally got attracted to that but that does not take away anything from HR's starer. From 8 Cr opening to 31 Cr weekend is a growth. I have seen big movies score big on Friday and then come down slightly on Sat and then soar on Sunday again, but here day wise there is a steady growth so really do not understand the number of attempts to spread negativity for this film. Industry as well supported only one movie and completely ignored HR but still that movie did 31 Cr weekend which is quite an achievement. Movie is good and people who watched it appreciated. It will grow good from word of mouth. It has 2-3 weeks of time and I guess if HR's movie does 75 Cr business it should be decent result. It will not touch Rustom who might join 100 Cr club soon but from the clash, being a period film with no support from industry and having competition in form of Neeraj Pandey and Akshay movie and still able to do 30+ crore weekend is an achievement.

One more thing, Mohejo Daro has only Hrithik backing it, new heroine and director whose last couple of movies bombed, and for Akki it's Neeraj Pandey who got an awesome record of hit and sensible movies, it got heroine who is also famous and has some fan following, again comparing all these Mohenjo Daro film makers should be satisfied with the numbers they have got.

I have nothing wrong with Rustom or Akki, Akki is my fevourite actor and so HR but I saw one way traffic in bollywood in this clash to target one movie and support only one I didn't take that so above all.
