New Delhi: Manoj Bajpayee’s milestone 100th film, ‘Bhaiyya Ji,’ appears to be performing well at the box office. This film holds significance not only because it marks his 100th project but also because it is produced by his wife, Shabana Raza Bajpayee, who has taken on the role of producer for the very first time with ‘Bhaiyya Ji.’ Additionally, the movie’s box office success adds to its special status.
Box office collection
Despite a modest start, netting Rs. 4.95 crore over its opening weekend, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ persists in drawing audiences, earning Rs. 90 lakh on Sunday as reported by Sacnilk.com.
According to the same source, the film garnered Rs. 1.90 crore on its third day, taking its cumulative earnings to Rs. 5 crore. On Sunday, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ experienced an overall occupancy rate of 12.77 percent for Hindi shows, with the afternoon slots seeing the highest attendance.
The Manoj Bajpayee starrer earned Rs. 1.3 crore on Friday, climbed to Rs. 1.75 crore on Saturday, and reached Rs. 1.90 crore on Sunday. Despite a noticeable decline on Monday, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ managed to secure Rs. 90 lakh at the box office.
Manoj Bajpayee Projects
Director Apoorv Singh Karki and actor Manoj Bajpayee have teamed up for the second time. Their first collaboration was the movie ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kafi Hai’.
Bajpayee’s earlier theater release ‘Joram’ in 2023 amassed only Rs. 0.45 cr in India. Despite receiving significant critical praise and positive word-of-mouth, and even winning the Best Film Trophy at Filmfare, ‘Joram’ failed to perform well at the box office.
In contrast, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ marks one of Bajpayee’s rare ventures into the mainstream action masala genre, a departure from his usual film choices.
Up next, Manoj Bajpayee will reprise his role as Srikant Tiwari in the highly popular web series ‘The Family Man,’ which is now filming its third season. The creators recently provided an update on the new season, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further news.
