'Bollywood is Finished'- High hopes from BB2 Spark Twitter War

many other Bollywood movies that were expected to do well at the box office flopped badly. The latest release of Ranveer Singh could not even get a decent opening and shockingly, Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey and the YRF movie are battling this weekend for survival which is a big disappointment. 

Indeed, after the rampage of Southern movies like KGF 2, RRR, and Pushpa: The Rise at the Bollywood box-office, things are looking quite bleak for the Hindi cinema.

And, now the Kartik Aaryan-led flick Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is being looked up to for ending this drought of moolah at the box office. This Kiara Advani and Tabu starrer is a sequel to the hit franchise Bhool Bhulaiyaa earlier led by Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan and over the years has become a cult movie. With such a huge legacy, the expectations from the sequel are also very high. 

Nonetheless, the promo and the title song from the movie have generated a lot of interest and delivered the much-needed boost required for generous advance booking.

According to reports, this Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani-produced film will be released in 2800 to 3000 theaters across the country and is expected to get the biggest opening ever for Kartik Aaryan. 

Three major theater chains PVR, Cinepolis, and Inox have already sold more than 30,000 tickets and the bookings will further pick up as the day of release comes nearer.  

Bollywood is finished! We’ve been hearing this a lot of late. That should stop after KartikAaryan starrer ‘BhoolBhulaiyaa2’ releases Friday. It’s advance booking is very impressive. For the dumb ones who predicted doomsday for Bollywood, let it be said, ‘BB2’ is a Bollywood film!

Trade analysts have predicted that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will get a double-digit opening and will even beat Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi’s opening day collection.

Famous film critic Komal Nahta has said that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s success should silence those who had been predicting doomsday for Bollywood. It has triggered a Twitter war with a few claiming that the movie is getting a good opening simply because of Akshay’s legacy.

With due respect, people are booking advance due to Akshay’s legacy. From Monday, we’ll find out if BB2 indeed a B’wood film

A few users believe that the opening statistics are not quite impressive and that the movie will fall on Monday. But, many users believe that it is not about Southern movies or Bollywood but about content. Even the regional movies that have become so big require Bollywood to distribute them across India.

Whatever the south films work just because of Bollywood production house produced & distributed.without any Bollywood’s hand these south films won’t work and also won’t reach to the wider people and talking about Bollywood film none of the big stars film arrived yet.just wait it
