Ajay Devgan and Siddharth Malhotranew movie, comedy drama Thank God Despite the festive season, the box office declined after a very slow start on the first day of release. According to Bollywood Hungama, director Indra Kumar’s film can earn Rs 5.75-6.35 crore on the second day.
Thank God had earned Rs 8.10 crore on its opening day, with surprisingly soft performances in the northern belt, where the film’s stars are quite popular. Its total collection is now around Rs 14.25 crore. Trade analysts had said that Thank God needed negligible decline on its second day to get a respectable figure.
Thank God is also facing some serious competition Akshay KumarHis new film, Ram Setu, released on October 25, a day after Diwali. Ram Setu had a double digit (Rs 15.25 cr) opening on the first day, which doesn’t bode well for Thank God’s future.
Not only did the film fail to impress at the ticket counters, but the film also failed to make a lasting impression on the critics, who gave it poor ratings, calling it ‘dull’ and ‘pointless’. Indian ExpressFilm critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in a section of her review, “The official remake of the Norwegian film ‘Sort Kuglar’, ‘Thank God’ marks the return of Indra Kumar to Bollywood after a huge hiatus. His musical performances with Bollywood stars Known for Rom starring as an overgrown criminal (“Dil”), and the cheesy “Masti” and “Dhamaal” franchises filled with oversexed men and double-meaning dialogue, his style still remains the same. is old, and it does nothing for a fantasy that requires a light on its feet.”
Thank God is Siddharth’s first starring role since Shershaah, which made its direct debut on streaming last year.
