Rani Mukherjee, who is counted among the most solid actresses of Bollywood, is becoming a cult in the last few years. The kind of films that Rani is doing in the last few films are very much liked by the audience. The story of his latest release ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ was also liked by the audience and the film also got good reviews.
‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ was released in theaters on 17 March. When Rani’s film came, Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Tu Jhoothi ​​Main Makkar’ was already earning well in theatres. In between, Ajay Devgan’s mass entertainer ‘Bhola’ also released in theaters on 30 March and this too increased the competition at the box office. But ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’, released on limited screens, kept its audience on one side. Now finally Rani’s film has become a successful film.
Collection of ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’
Rani’s film, released about three weeks ago, has collected more than 30 crores gross at the box office. According to Saknilk, the worldwide gross collection of the film has been around Rs 33 crore. While in India itself, the earnings of ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ have reached 20 crores. According to the reports, the budget of the film was around Rs 25 crore and according to this, ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ has now become a profitable project.
Since 2013, including the latest film, Rani has done a total of 5 films. Out of these, only one ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ failed at the box office. Whereas apart from ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway’, his ‘Mardaani’, ‘Hichki’ and ‘Mardaani 2’ were good hits.
A good sign for Bollywood!
After the lockdown, the condition of mid-budget films in the reopened theaters has not been very good. While it was a segment that brought popularity to artists like Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkumar Rao. Only 4 films of Ayushmann – Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Anek, Doctor Ji and N Action Hero proved to be flops at the box office. Whereas before the lockdown, his 8 consecutive films were successful at the box office.
While Rajkumar Rao’s last hit was ‘Stree’ in 2018. Since the lockdown opened, 4 of his films – Roohi, Badhaai Do, Hit and Bhoomi – have failed in the theatres. While there is no such film in the flop films of both Ayushmann and Rajkumar, which got bad reviews.
Box office trends say that post the lockdown, the public is preferring to go to theaters for grand, action-packed cinematic entertainment. In this ‘The Kashmir Files’ was an exception. After this continuous dose of action and masala films, perhaps the public is now again in the mood to give a chance to other films. The hit of Ranbir-Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Tu Jhoothi ​​Main Makkar’ also indicates the same. On top of that, Rani’s film with solid content, even on a small scale, but being successful will bring a new hope for Bollywood.
