February has its share of biggies coming up, and one hopes that the big bucks continue to flow at the box office with audiences making a beeline for films.
Last week's releases Shehzada and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania kept their target audience engaged, even though more was expected.
Non-release of the film in West Bengal and a late release in Tamil Nadu has resulted in a loss of at least Rs 10 crore-Rs 15 crore and that's the margin by which it would stay under the lifetime total of The Kashmir Files eventually.
organic awareness for the film coupled with the fact that there was no other Bollywood release in the running meant that The Kerala Story released on over 1,000 screens.
Yet again, it's a Hollywood film that's scoring in Indian cinemas this season.
The Marvels is a muddled effort, but it still stands up as this refreshingly goofy and enjoyable superhero romp, notes Mayur Sanap.
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 makes you laugh, cheer, whistle and weep along with your favourite superheroes, applauds Mayur Sanap.
