How did Mahavatar Narsimha do so well in its first week when Saiyaara was still going strong in the second week?
– One film ruling the box-office doesn’t mean that another film cannot do well. MAHAVATAR NARSIMHA released a week after SAIYAARA. But we have had two films releasing on the same day and both scoring at the ticket counters. Remember GADAR EK PREM KATHA and LAGAAN? They hit the screens on the same day, and both were box-office winners.
Is it true that Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 did not get adequate number of shows in cinemas because of Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha?
– Yes, very true. The showcasing for the two new releases of this week, viz. SON OF SARDAAR 2 and DHADAK 2 was adversely affected because of the running films viz. SAIYAARA and MAHAVATAR NARSIMHA.
Why did one of the two films of this week — Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 — not release next week? They could’ve avoided the clash.
– The producers of both the films did not want to get their films next week because WAR 2 will be hitting the screens on 14th August (Thursday). That means, the film which would have opted to release next Friday, would have only six days (not even a full week) of ‘no competition’. After six days, there would be a huge film like WAR 2 to contend with. On the other hand, in the current scenario, SON OF SARDAAR 2 and DHADAK 2 have 13 days before WAR 2 hits the screens.
