Bhumi Pednekar in a scene from ‘The Lady Killer’.
Many films are released every year in Bollywood. Some films make bumper earnings even after being made on a small budget, while some mega budget films fail even after a lot of promotion. At the same time, it is not even known when many films came and went. Today we will talk about one such film, whose echo was neither heard before its release nor after its release. This was the reason that despite having two big stars, this film proved to be a big disaster and flopped badly at the box office. Now the situation is such that even after a year of its release, no OTT platform is ready to give space to this film. Let’s start with its budget, earnings and ticket sales.
tickets were not being sold
Now try to understand, a film in which two well-known stars are in lead roles. The budget of the film is also Rs 45 crores and one year time was given to make the film, then this film could not be completed and then it was released only half-finished. Now in such a situation, only 300 tickets of this film could not be sold. No special promotions of the film were done. This film proved to be such a failure in terms of earnings that it became the biggest flop in the history of Bollywood. In recent times, no film has been in worse condition than this.
I just earned this much
We are talking about Ajay Bahl’s crime thriller ‘The Lady Killer’ starring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles. Made with a budget of Rs 45 crore, the production of this film was delayed several times till 2023. Ultimately it was released quite hastily in November. However, the film’s release was in name only, as it was released only in a dozen theaters across the country. In fact, even theaters were seen avoiding buying its rights. The result was such that the film ‘The Lady Killer’ sold only 293 tickets on its first day, earning Rs 38,000, which is one of the lowest openings ever for any film. Within a few days, the film was released from the screens and could sell less than 500 tickets and this was the reason why the film collected less than one lath, which was only Rs 60,000.
Released on YouTube
After this, the makers were left with no option but to release it on OTT, but a year has passed and it has not been able to find a place on any OTT. Earlier, there were preparations to release it on OTT, but the film could not be completed till the OTT release date, in such a situation all the OTT platforms had withdrawn their hands, after which it was released in theaters instead of OTT. . Neither Arjun Kapoor nor Bhumi Pednekar talked about this film. Now giving up, the makers have released this film for free on YouTube. It was seen by 5 lakh people in one day. Now after about a month it has received 2.6 million views.
