‘Brahmastra’ now biggest non-holiday release

The most-anticipated Hindi, ‘Brahmastra’, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, released on Friday and it looks like the hype that was built around the film has paid off. As per reports, the film has had a strong start at the box office, reports The Indian Express.

As per Bollywood Hungama, the film has minted Rs. 36.50 to 38.50 crores in the domestic market on its opening day, making it the biggest non-holiday release. Trade website BoxOfficeIndia.com has reported Brahmastra’s collection at around Rs 35-36 crore in India.

Producer Karan Johar shared on his Instagram that the film has minted Rs 75 crore worldwide on its opening day. He shared, “Humbled… Grateful…but yet can’t control my excitement!

A lot is riding on ‘Brahmastra’ at the moment as 2022 has been a bleak year for Bollywood at the box office. Apart from a few films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, The Kashmir Files, no other film has set the cash registers ringing.

The film was made at a budget of Rs 410 crore, making it the most expensive film of Hindi cinema. Previously, this record was held by YRF’s Thugs of Hindostan which was made at around Rs 310 crore.
