Indian 2, Shankar’s ambitious sequel to his 1996 blockbuster Indian was released last week to poor reviews and unfavourable word of mouth. The film was released in Telugu as Bharateeyudu 2 and in Hindi as Hindustani 2. This pan-India biggie faced a similar fate everywhere and is headed towards being one of the biggest disasters in the careers of everyone involved.
Despite poor reviews and talk on Day 1, Indian 2 opened to decent numbers. After this, the film witnessed a massive drop from day 2 in all territories excluding TN. In all areas, the Day 3 figures are lesser than Day 2. The film did well for the weekend in Tamil Nadu, but today’s bookings are disastrous. From today all areas’ numbers will be disastrous.
After 3 days, the movie has collected around 110 Cr gross and is projected to collect Rs 200 Cr gross in closing. The breakeven is at 500 Cr mark and the movie is on its way to be a massive disaster.
Directed by Shankar, Indian 2 also stars Siddharth, Rakulpreet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Nedumudi Venu and SJ Suryah in key roles. This pan-India biggie was produced by Lyca Productions and Redu Giant Movies with Anirudh Ravichander composing the tunes.
