Dinesh Vijan, a Hindi film producer, is regarded as the box office king. He has demonstrated in ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ and ‘Teri Baatein Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ how to turn even his ordinary flicks into hits. Producer Dinesh Vijan, who got cinemagoers addicted to the offer of one ticket for one free, has made his film ‘Stree 2’, which will be released on August 15, a blockbuster, no doubt about it, but his efforts to prove it is bigger than ‘Jawaan’, ‘Pathan’, and ‘Animal’ appear suspicious to Hindi film industry trade experts. Narendra Gupta, a trade specialist, explicitly states that all of these data are false. The postponing of Dinesh Vijan’s next film, ‘Skyforce’, during the success of ‘Stree 2’ has added gasoline to these discussions.and ‘Animal’ appear dubious to trade professionals in the Hindi film industry.
The delayed of the publication of ‘Skyforce’ raised some questions.
Independent website Sacnilk provides box office figures for Hindi films to news websites and publications across the country and around the world. The data on this website are similar to trade figures. Narendra Gupta claims that there is no need to embellish the stats in the film ‘Stree 2’. The film hit the 300 crore mark on the 10th day of its release (second Friday), although Maddock Films presented alternative data to demonstrate that it crossed 300 crores in the first week alone. If this film is such a success, why is the business hesitant of releasing its next Akshay Kumar feature, ‘Skyforce’? Dinesh Vijan Maddock Films’ Box Office Figures For Stree 2 Are Back in Question Amid Sky Force Postponement Talks – Entertainment News: Amar Ujala – Stree 2: The box office figures for ‘Stree 2’ have been called into question, according to a trade expert.
Could not reach 300 crore in the first week.
According to the trade, the film ‘Stree 2’ grossed Rs 291.65 crore in its first week of release. The film topped the Rs 300 crore mark on Friday alone. The picture set a new record on the 11th day, earning more than all of last year’s big flicks, although its total net collection at the domestic box office is just Rs 384.55 crore. According to the film industry, this is the genuine net collection for the film ‘Stree 2’ through the second Sunday, with only 40% going to the producer.
Call for the release of GST information
Narendra Gupta, a trade expert, comments, “If producer Dinesh Vijan wants to be so transparent about the figures of the film ‘Stree 2’, then he should also make public the details of the producer’s share in this earning and the total GST paid on the earnings so far.” The film ‘Stree 2’, which has made Rs 384.55 crores as of the second Sunday of its release, is currently ahead of just ‘Gadar 2’ in the race for hit films. The film ‘Gadar 2’ has barely made Rs 375.10 crores by the second Sunday of its release. The stats for the other three successful pictures of last year until the second Sunday of their release were significantly ahead of ‘Stree 2’.
