Ranveer Singh’s recent release, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, has shocked trade pundits with the disappointing performance of the film at the box office collection. Ranveer’s films are expected to do a good business at the box office, but this time around, his film has tanked miserably at minting money. Cinemagoers have no more restricted themselves to watching films of a particular language. In fact, the pandemic has changed the film-watching experience in such a way that the audience is open to watching films in all languages with subtitles, if not dubbed in Hindi or a particular language. In such a scenario, Hindi cinema, which was already facing a challenge of survival with Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films, now has to compete with other regional languages such as Punjabi, Marathi and Malayalam as well. And in such a situation, troubles have deepened for Yash Raj Films’ Jayeshbhai Jordaar as the movie fails to attract audiences.
