The box office performance of Ganapath: A Hero is Born starring Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon is not improving.
The dystopian drama, which was directed by Vikas Bahl and stars Amitabh Bachchan and Gauahar Khan in cameo roles, had a rocky start on Friday and has since struggled to draw viewers.
Its domestic box office weekend earnings fell short of Rs. 7 crore.
Why is this story important?
Shroff made his Bollywood debut with the movie Heropanti, and since then, he has been in movies like the Baaghi series, Munna Michael, and Heropanti 2.
With the exception of his 2019 film War, all of his films have underperformed both economically and critically, although Ganapath has the dubious distinction of having his career’s lowest opening weekend gross (Rs. 2.5cr).
After Adipurush, Sanon has now had two straight failures.
The largest audience possible attended the Sunday night performances.
The movie brought in Rs. 2.15 crore on Sunday, which is oddly less than what it did on Saturday, according to Sacnilk.
Overall occupancy was 10.57%, with the evening performances drawing the largest crowd (11.99%).
With the Dussehra festival holiday on Tuesday, Ganapath still has a chance to get some viewers, but unfavorable word-of-mouth might considerably hinder its progress.
The plot of the movie and potential causes for failure
The dystopian future depicted in Ganapath is one in which there is a disparity between the wealthy and the poor. It is predicted that Guddu (Shroff) will be the one to close this deficit.
The VFX are cheesy, the narrative isn’t good enough to last the entire movie, and the movie is literally two hours of nothing, thus it doesn’t succeed in engaging the viewer.
Can Shroff and Sanon turn things around?
The following films starring Shroff are Singham Again by Rohit Shetty and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Shroff has a chance to recover because these are big-budget projects run by directors with plenty of expertise.
With Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sanon has The Crew; her production company, Do Patti; and an untitled movie with Shahid Kapoor. She has a lot of worthwhile tasks planned, so.
