Box Office Report: Will Rajkummar Rao’s ‘Hit: The First Case’ cross Rs 10 crores?

Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra-starrer ‘Hit: The First Case’ seems to be struggling at the box office to collect even Rs 10 crore. Meanwhile, the earnings for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ also seem to be going down. Read this report to know how films performed at the box office on Wednesday.

Last week saw the release of two films – Taapsee Pannu-starrer ‘Shabaash Mithu’ and Rajkummar and Sanya Malhotra’s film ‘Hit: The First Case’. While Taapsee’s film is a sports biopic based on the life of former Indian women’s cricket captain Mithali Raj, ‘Hit’ is a thriller drama. Both the films have received great reviews for their storyline and plots. However, the films have struggled to make much of an impact at the box office. The two films also faced quite a competition with already running films such as Marvel Studios’ ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ and R Madhavan’s directorial debut ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’. Amidst this, take a look at how all these films performed on Wednesday at the box office.

Hit: The First Case: Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra's ‘Hit - The First Case’ failed to impress the audience despite getting good reviews. The film started gaining momentum after a slow start on the opening day, but still, the film is not able to score as expected. Currently, ‘Hit’ is struggling to even cross the Rs 10 crore mark. Till now the total earning of the film has been Rs 7.34 crore. The film is the Hindi remake of the Telugu police drama by the same name. It is basically a story of a cop who is on a hunt for a missing woman.

Shabaash Mithu: Taapsee Pannu-starrer ‘Shabaash Mithu’ also got good reviews, despite which the film is proving to be unsuccessful in pulling the audience to the theatres. The film had a slow start on an opening day. It was expected that the film might pick up over the weekend, but things clearly did not go as per expectations. After this, it also failed in the Monday test. Talking about the film's earnings on Wednesday, Taapsee Pannu's film has managed to earn roughly around Rs 2 crore.
