The box office performance of Amitabh Bachchan and Rashmika Mandanna’s movie Goodbye has not been promising. The movie struggled to make $1 million on its opening day, and although it did slightly better over the weekend, it still underperformed, earning less than $4 million net across India and little over $5 million in total globally. One of the year’s worst openings for a big-budget Hindi movie.

Industry reports claim that Goodbye made 3.87 crore net on its first three days in India. The movie has also made a little more than 1 crore from sales abroad, pushing its overall global gross above 5 crore. The movie’s producers confirmed the numbers, stating that the weekend box office take was 5.16 crore.

This is insignificant in light of recent performances of other movies. Aside from major tentpole movies, even family flicks like JugJugg Jeeyo (37 crore nett) and a horror comedy like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (56 crore nett) performed much better than Goodbye during its opening weekend. Many industry experts questioned the decision of the producers to distribute the movie in theatres in an environment when only outsized artists are successful. The statistics, according to industry experts, will drop much more on weekdays, and the movie may not even break the double-digit threshold (10 crore) in nett domestic earnings.

Along with Pavail Gulati, Elli Avram, Sunil Grover, Sahil Mehta, and Abhishek Khan, Goodbye also stars Pavail Gulati and Vikas Bahl. The film did not open to positive reviews, which could have contributed to its lacklustre performance. The film’s review read, “Vikas Bahl throws at us in this emotional rollercoaster of a funeral drama called Goodbye. It really is a confused tale wanting to say so much but is so stuck in its flaws that it never rises beyond a funeral.”
