It seems that Bollywood dry spell is over with the massive success of recent releases 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani', 'Gadar 2', 'OMG 2' and 'Jailer'.
Actor Suniel Shetty is elated to see so many films perform at the box office. He took to his X handle and wrote that the last couple of weeks have been fantastic for cinema.
He added that with the extended weekend, the movie magic is only going to soar higher.
He tweeted, 'How fantastic the last couple weeks have been for cinema! Started with #RockyaurRani, and now #Gadar2, #OMG2 and #Jailer have all smashed it at the box office. And with the extended weekend the movie magic is only going to soar higher! Grab your popcorn and enjoy the blockbuster spree!'
Reacting to Suniel's post, a fan said, 'Your support for industry is both expected and warranted. However as a movie enthusiast my hope is that makers and audience would soon let go of of yesteryears’ stories recycled with new faces. Year 2023 need not be last century with new faces. You may counsel the industry, if you agree.'
Another said, 'Great to see the whole India cinema industry is flourishing and the audiences are enjoying the different contents available.'
'Jailer', which stars superstar Rajinikanth, had already earned ₹12.8 crore in India through advance bookings ahead of its release on August 10. The film entered the ₹100 crore club within three days of its release.
'Gadar 2' earned ₹43 crore at the domestic box office on the second day, and the total two-day collection stands at ₹83.10 crore.
