Gumraah Review: Aditya Roy Kapur, Mrunal Thakur Star In Passably Engaging Whodunnit
Box Office India Trade Network

The new release GUMRAAH opened to poor collections as it collected a little over 1 crore nett with likely collections in the 1-1.10 crore nett range. The collections are pretty much in the range of other films like AN ACTION HERO and KUTTEY. But GUMRAAH had a holiday for Good Friday and so, the fair value is less. There was a film RASHTRA KAVACH OM with a similar cast but that opened better as it was an action film rather than a thriller like GUMRAAH though the difference is just 15-20 lakhs.

There have been other films with the same title and its sheer coincidence they have come every 30 years. GUMRAH (1963) proved a SUPER HIT while GUMRAH (1993) proved a success but in 2023 it will will be totally different result. Maybe spelling the name wrongly and adding an A was not a clever idea. Jokes aside, its sad that these films have to come in cinemas in order to get the digital revenue. 

There were a couple of Hollywood releases also like THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE and THE POPE'S EXORCIST and the collections were around 1.50 crore nett and 1.25 crore nett respectively.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is proving to be a HIT film as it look set to cross the 50 crore nett mark by the end of its run. The total so far is around 43 crore nett plus and it should reach the 50 crore nett before Eid. Hollywood has seen HITS post the pandemic in India but its generally been big franchise films and some of these have not even been able to get to the Hit mark. 

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 can also be called a franchise film but the earlier films hardly had any numbers in India. The last one released in 2019 and hardly got into double digits.

The collections of JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 till date are as follows
Week One - 32,75,00,000
Week Two - 9,75,00,000
Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 43,50,00,000 apprx
