Two Bollywood films released in the eighth week of 2020 - both from India's top movie banners. While one was Vicky Kaushal's film Bhoot: The Haunted Ship, other was Ayushmann Khurrana's Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. Since the films have leading actors, interesting concepts and are backed by popular production houses, it is expected that they will fare well at the Box Office.
The first weekend (February 21-23, 2020) was fruitful for Ayushmann Khurrana's gay love story, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, as it was enjoyed more than Vicky Kaushal's horror film, Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship.
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan collected ₹32.66 crores in its first three days and Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship made just about ₹16.36 crores.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the figures, which read, "#ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan records healthy weekend... Good growth on Day 2, limited growth on Day 3... Metros dominate, contribute to its earnings... Important to stay strong from Mon to Thu... Fri 9.55 cr, Sat 11.08 cr, Sun 12.03 cr. Total: Rs 32.66 cr. #India biz. #SMZS.
#Bhoot struggles, doesn't make the desired noise at ticket window... Witnesses minimal growth on Day 2 and 3... Finds limited patronage at multiplexes... Sustaining well from Mon to Thu is pivotal... Fri 5.10 cr, Sat 5.52 cr, Sun 5.74 cr. Total: Rs 16.36 cr. #India biz."
Both the films released on February 21, 2020, and were named among the most anticipated films of the year. Written and directed by Hitesh Kewalya, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan stars Ayushmann and debutant Jitendra Kumar in a lead role, alongside veterans like Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao. Bhoot is directed by Bhanu Pratap Singh and stars Vicky in the lead role along with Ashutosh Rana.
