'Drishyam 2' box office collection: Thriller-drama reviving Bollywood's luck
What's the story
Recently released Bollywood movie Drishyam 2 has turned out to be a money churner at the box office.
The film earned about Rs. 27.17cr on its third day (Sunday) and now, its total collection stands at Rs. 64.14cr.
It is expected that the film will be an eventful one as it has established its strong foot and the advance booking rates are impressive, too.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Apart from Drishyam 2, November saw several new Bollywood releases.
This includes Double XL, Mili, Phone Bhoot, Uunchai, and Mister Mummy.
But other than Drishyam 2, none of the films made a mark at the box office.
Starring Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Akshaye Khanna, and Tabu in the lead roles, Drishyam 2 has turned out to be the next savior of Bollywood after Brahmastra.
Expectation
Will 'Drishyam 2' touch Rs. 100cr mark soon?
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film may touch Rs. 100cr mark over the upcoming weekend.
He tweeted, "#Drishyam2 ends *Weekend 1* with a BIG BANG... Creates HAVOC on Day 3... Reboots and revives biz... Brings JOY, HOPE, CONFIDENCE, OPTIMISM back... Targets Rs. 100cr in *Week 1*... Fri 15.38 cr, Sat 21.59 cr, Sun 27.17 cr. Total: Rs. 64.14 cr. #India biz (sic)."
