Forget the newcomers. Forget the flashier titles. The real winners this Friday (February 7th) are two of the most highly-buzzing re-releases. Overpowering Khushi Kapoor-Junaid Khan's Loveyapa and Himesh Reshammiya's Badass Ravi Kumar are Christopher Nolan's 2014 film Interstellar and 2016's Hindi romantic Sanam Teri Kasam. The latter two are dominating the advance booking numbers and we are in for this ride.
As per a data set received by?Bollywood Hungama?on 6th February at 10 am, the Nolan epic has sold a jaw-dropping 48,900 tickets across the top national chains ¨C PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. The film's premium weekend rates and nostalgic appeal make it the go-to pick for cinephiles. The momentum is building, and Interstellar even after 11 years is showing no signs of slowing down.??
In a battle that's closer than expected, Himesh Reshammiya's Badass Ravi Kumar (BRK) is neck and neck with the re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam. BRK has sold 16,300 tickets, while Sanam Teri Kasam is slightly ahead with 16,400. Though it's a tight race, Badass Ravi Kumar is likely to stay strong with its mass appeal and action-packed thrills. Meanwhile, Sanam Teri Kasam is tapping into its loyal fanbase, aided by the attractive ?149 ticket price.??
And then, there's Loveyapa¡ or should we say, the sad-fate-Friday of the box office. With just 1,475 tickets sold in advance bookings, this romantic drama is barely making a dent. To put it into perspective, Badass Ravi Kumar has already sold over 10 times the tickets. Unfortunately for Loveyapa, it looks set to have a forgettable run at the box office with no signs of a major pick-up before release.
Too early to decide who will eventually leave a mark, stay tuned to Indiatimes as we are not missing any box office beat, quite literally!
