Digital
Desk: Ranbir Kapoor's eagerly anticipated
action-drama "Shamshera," which marks his return to the big screen
after a four-year absence, appears to have fallen flat with the public.
Even after weeks of strenuous promotion, the movie was unable to
live up to the hype and saw a dismal opening of Rs 10.25 crore.
And now a report in the media, claims that numerous screenings of
the movie had to be cancelled due to a lack of spectators in the theatres.
Komal Nahta, a trade
analyst, also tweeted, "Another major movie, but the same plot is still
present! Some theatres cancelled "Shamshera" matinee and
noon/afternoon showings due to a lack of patrons."
The makers of
"Shamshera," which had an estimated budget of Rs 150 crore, are now
crossing their fingers for a respectable weekend box office haul and relying on
word-of-mouth marketing.
The action of
"Shamshera" takes place in the made-up city of Kaza, where a brutal
authoritarian commander named Shuddh Singh imprisons, enslaves, and tortures a
warrior tribe. This is the tale of a guy who was sold into slavery, who later
rose to leadership positions and became a legend among his community. He never
stops fighting for the independence and honour of his tribe. Shamshera is his
name.
The action-packed,
heart-pounding show takes place in the 1800s in the centre of India.
Vaani Kapoor plays a key
role in the movie, which is also directed by Karan Malhotra. Aditya Chopra
produced the action extravaganza, which is now available in Telugu, Tamil, and
Hindi.
