Slow Start for Kareena Kapoor’s ‘The Buckingham Murders’: Kareena Kapoor’s much-anticipated thriller The Buckingham Murders has managed to collect ₹3 crore in two days. While the film has been praised for its gripping suspense and Kareena’s stellar performance, it hasn’t performed well at the box office, leaving the makers disappointed.
Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film opened on Friday with a modest collection of ₹1.15 crore and saw a slight increase on Saturday with ₹1.85 crore. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the total box office collection for the film stands at ₹3 crore. There’s still hope for growth on Sunday, as the weekend audience could offer some relief.
‘Stree 2’ Dominates with Unstoppable Success
In contrast, Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2 continues its dominance at the box office, raking in impressive numbers even after 31 days in theaters. On its 31st day, Stree 2 collected ₹4.57 crore, outshining several newly released films. The total earnings of the film have surpassed ₹567 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Industry experts speculate that the film’s success might continue for a few more days, potentially pushing the numbers even higher.
‘Vedaa’ and ‘Khel-Khel Mein’ Fail to Impress
Released alongside Stree 2, Akshay Kumar’s Khel-Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa have failed to leave a mark at the box office. According to Bollywood Hungama, Vedaa opened with ₹6.75 crore and managed a total collection of ₹19.60 crore, while Khel-Khel Mein earned ₹5.23 crore on its opening day and reached a total of ₹32.66 crore. In stark contrast, Stree 2 had a massive opening of ₹55 crore on the same day and went on to achieve a whopping ₹567 crore collection.
Conclusion
As The Buckingham Murders struggles to gain traction at the box office, its future remains uncertain. On the other hand, Stree 2 continues to reign supreme, outshining its competitors with record-breaking numbers. While both Vedaa and Khel-Khel Mein underperformed, the box office has seen a clear winner in Stree 2.
