Since the start of the year, the COVID-19 situation has been better. The theaters have made a glorious comeback and the box office business is looking promising going into the second half. The first half of 2022 is wrapping up, and the releases till now have seen both overwhelming and underwhelming responses in the theaters. Some movies like KGF: Chapter 2, The Kashmir Files and RRR have been accepted wholeheartedly by the audience and others have been rejected.
Here's a list of Bollywood releases of 2022 that have suffered ill fate at the box office.
Bachchan Paandey
Akshay Kumar's Bachchan Paandey was released on the occasion of Holy, but after the first weekend, it was completely rejected by the audience. A major reason for its huge failure at the box office was The Kashmir Files, which routed its opponents badly. Its total collection was Rs 49 crore, as per Box Office India.
Attack: Part 1
John Abraham brought forth a new style of action filmmaking in his home production Attack: Part 1. However, it failed to reel in viewers and managed to earn Rs 14.13 crore at the box office. John also acknowledged the failure of the movie at the box office in an Instagram post. On the bright side, Attack has been well on the Online platform.
Jersey
Shahid Jersey was delayed various times during the COVID-19 pandemic. When it finally arrived in cinema halls, there were no takers for this sports drama, which won two National Awards in 2019 for its original Telugu version. Asked if he was disappointed with the performance of Jersey, Shahid said, "Not at all" during the sidelines of Awards.
Dhaka
The actress Dhaka has been the biggest disappointment at the box office so far. It was taken down in cinema halls and did not perform as expected despite being a new concept. It earned Rs 2.24 crore during its lifetime. The actress is now focussing on her upcoming films.
Jayeshbhai
Ranveer Singh failed to create any magic with his social comedy Jayeshbhai. This makes it his second film in a row after 83 that has proved to be disastrous at the box office with Rs 16 crore collections.
Anew
Despite the hit pair of Anubhav Sin ha and Ayushmann Khorana reuniting, Anew has failed to create any impact at the box office. Its earnings have been poor, to say the least.
Sam rat Prithviraj, starring Akshay Kumar and Manisha Chiller in lead roles, has picked up the pace on Sunday at the ticket window and will be wrapping up the first weekend with Rs 40 crore collections. After witnessing a rather slow start on Friday, with a Rs 10.70 crore opening, the business picked up on Saturday and Sunday and the movie has managed to score a good first weekend at the box office despite competition from two regional releases. Meanwhile, Sam rat Prithviraj has completely routed the other two regional releases-- Kamal movie and Major-- in the Hindi version. While Kamal movie earned Rs 2 crore plus in the first weekend, Major collected Rs 5 crore. However, the two movies have done extremely well in the local markets.
Kamal movie earned Rs 42 crore for the Tamil version in the opening Weekend, while Major has Rs 17 crore plus collection for the original Telugu version.
