2023 has not been that good for Bollywood. There were many big releases this year, but all those films did not emerge as Hits at the Box Office. Among the big films, we had Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada, Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee, Ranbir Kapoor’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa and Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. All these films underperformed at the Box Office despite having big names associated with it.
This year Bollywood only had 2 clean Hits at the Box Office. Pathaan and The Kerala Story not only emerged as Clean Hits but turned out to be All Time Blockbusters at the Box Office. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke emerged as the 3rd clean hit for Bollywood this year. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke was announced 20 days before the release and the film emerged as a surprise Hit at the Box Office.
SRK starrer Pathaan went on to become the 1st Bollywood film to cross 400 cr, 450 cr and 500 cr at the Box Office. The Kerala Story did wonders at the Box Office because of its controversial and bold subject and went on to collect 235 cr+ at the Box Office.
Many trade experts were expecting the film to flop at the Box Office. The lifetime collections predicted were around 20 crores. The film crossed this figure in the first 4 days itself.
Zara Hatke Zara Bachke had a hatke week 1 followed by week 2. The film collected 37.35 cr in the 1st week and 25.65 cr in the 2nd week.
The film collected 1.08 cr on Friday, 1.89 cr on Saturday and 2.34 cr on Sunday making it 5.31 cr in the 3rd weekend. The film’ total lifetime collection stands at 68.31 cr. The film is all set to end its lifetime run around 75 crores.
Looking at the budget, this is a very good total posted by Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. The film had appealed to each and every age group. The film has a subject which tells the importance of a house and family and struggles faced by middle class people.
Zara Hatke Zara Bachke was released on 2nd June and is still going strong at the Box Office. The film is directed by Laxman Utekar. The film is produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios. The film has Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles.
