Shabaash Mithu & Hit – The First Case show limited growth on Saturday after dismal day 1

The First Case and Shabaash Mithu were the two prominent releases this week.
Both of them underperformed at the box office.
Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra led films are remakes of Telugu films of the same name.

This week, a few movies came out, but none of them did very well at the box office. Hit: The First Case, which starred Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra and was a remake of a popular Telugu psychological thriller with the same name, and Shabaash Mithu, which starred Taapsee Pannu and was a biopic of cricketer Mithali Raj, were the two big movies that came out this week. Judaa Hoke Bhi and Ladki: Enter the Girl Dragon, which starred lesser-known actors, were Both Hit: The First Case and Shabaash Mithu did better at the box office, but the growth was small, and the movies aren’t going anywhere from where they started.

Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra Hit: The First Case expanded by over 65% on Saturday, adding Rs. 1.65 cr nett to its total. The film’s 2-day nett is Rs. 2.65 cr. The weekend total is approaching Rs. 4.5 cr, which is low even post-Covid. The remake of the thriller loses suspense. It has a few days until Shamshera steals most of its screens.

Taapsee Pannu led starrer Shabaash Mithu underperformed majorly too. After a first Friday of Rs. 40 lakh, the film grew by 60 percent on Day 2, to add Rs. 64 lakh to its tally. The 2 day numbers of the film have finally touched Rs. 1 cr nett. Shabaash Mithu is a big film as per cost of production and the film has clearly not been able to rise up to the occasion.

Have a look at the day-wise box office collection of this week’s releases:

Hit: The First Case
Day 1 – Rs. 1 cr
Day 2 – Rs. 1.65 cr
Total : Rs. 2.65 cr

Shabaash Mithu
Day 1 – Rs. 40 lakh
Day 2 – Rs. 64 lakh
Total : Rs. 1.04 cr
