Ranbir Kapoor’s period action film, “Shamshera”, which opens with negative reviews from the critics opened to below-par figures on Friday. There were huge expectations from the film as the industry was struggling to see another blockbuster after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and all the eyes were on “Shamshera” to end its dry spell.
It has been two months since Kartik’s BB2 was released at the cinemas the industry saw hope through Jug Jugg Jeeyo which despite being an urban-centric film continues to mint money at the box office. However, the collections of JJJ are not good enough to be called blockbusters, but considering the post-covid average, the above-average films will be called successful.
Now coming to Shamshera, the film was one of the highly anticipated films of the year but failed to attract the footfall towards the cinema halls. Negative talks surrounding the film seem to play the spoilsport for Ranbir starrer.
