Nobody had thought that Taapsee Pannu led film “Shabaash Mithu” will perform so badly at the box office. The biographical sports film in its three-day opening weekend managed to touch only 1 crore.
Following the dull performance at the box office, it earned Rs 20 L+ on Monday (Day 4) to take the total collections over Rs 1.7 Cr domestically. Now it seems it will meet the same fate as Kangana’s Dhaakad which had pulled from theatres in the first week itself and saw its lifetime wrapped up under Rs 3 Cr.
It is not the case with Taapsee starrer only, the other Friday release film HIT: The Frist Case is also performing below par at the ticket counters. While pre-pandemic times such content-driven films would easily get the start of Rs 2-3 Cr, post-pandemic it becomes the affair of the digital platform only.
And it will not be exaggerating to say if these films had directly opted for the OTT platform, they would have gotten a better response than the cinemas.
