Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels
Kangana’s Emergency and Rasha’s Azaad have a slow start at the box office, know how much they will earn on the opening day
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ has been released at the box office on Friday, but it has not received a very good response.
Although the film is definitely being praised, but it is not going to make any magic on the first day on the earnings front. The same is the case with Rasha Thadani and Aman Devgan’s ‘Azaad’.
Kangana Ranaut’s much talked about ‘Emergency’ has finally been released in theaters on Friday, January 17. This film on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, released amidst all the controversies and court cases, has got competition from Rasha Thadani and Aman Devgan’s ‘Azaad’. Friday is also National Cinema Lovers Day.
Tickets are available at a discounted rate of Rs 99. But sadly, neither ‘Emergency’ nor ‘Azad’ seems to be benefiting from this. Both the films have had a slow start in the morning and afternoon shows. So let’s know how much both the films can earn on the opening day.
‘Emergency’ is very important for Kangana Ranaut‘s film career. After the success of ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ in 2015, she has been craving for a hit. Since then, 10 of her films have been released, but only ‘Manikarnika’ could get the tag of an average film.
All the others have proved to be flops. Now she has come up with ‘Emergency’ with a budget of 25 crores, in which she is not only in the lead role, but is also its director and co-producer.
Not many audiences were seen in the morning and afternoon shows of ‘Emergency’ in the theatres. On an average, only 10-15% seats were occupied by the audience in the shows of the film.
Whereas in multiplexes, there is a chance to watch the film on Friday at a very affordable price. Kangana Ranaut’s last release ‘Tejas’ had a net collection of Rs 1.23 crore on the opening day. ‘Emergency’ is definitely going to earn more than this, but it would be pointless to expect a lot from it on the first day.
‘Emergency’ Box Office Prediction
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels ‘Emergency’ has not earned much from advance booking.
In such a situation, everything depends on on-spot booking and word of mouth. Considering the poor pre-sales booking and slow start, it is expected that ‘Emergency’ will make a net collection of Rs 2-3 crore in the country on the opening day.
This figure is definitely very low, but the film is also being praised. In such a situation, there are chances of the film’s earnings increasing in the coming weekend.
‘Azad’ is also not doing very well on the first day
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels On the other hand, Aman Devgan and Rasha Thadani are making their Bollywood debut with ‘Azad’ directed by Abhishek Kapoor.
The film also has an extended cameo by Ajay Devgan. The problem with ‘Azad’ is that it has not been able to create much buzz at the ground level before its release.
Yes, the film’s song ‘Oye Amma‘ has definitely been in the news, but the lack of audience in its shows on the opening day shows that its condition is also not very good.
‘Azad’ is based on word of mouth
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels A horse is at the center of the story of ‘Azad’. Basically, it is a story of love, loyalty and dedication between man and animal.
In such a situation, it is very important for today’s audience to connect with it. Like ‘Emergency’, this film is also completely dependent on word of mouth.
‘Azad’ Box Office Prediction
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels If we look at the clash, then Kangana’s ‘Emergency’ is definitely seen winning on Friday, because ‘Azad’ is seen doing a net collection of Rs 1-1.75 crore on the opening day. The budget of this film is around Rs 50 crore.
‘Pushpa 2’ still has the strength, there can be a turnaround in the weekend
Emergency and Azaad Day 1 box office collection: Kangana Ranaut and Aman-Rasha’s films look stable at the lower levels Here, Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ is still standing as a challenge for both the newly released films. On Friday, the reloaded version of this 44-day-old film was released. 20 minutes of footage has been added to the film.
In such a situation, there are high chances that the earnings of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule Reloaded’ will increase over the weekend. Obviously, this will have a direct impact on ‘Emergency’ and ‘Azad’ as well.
Here’s a table summarizing the box office details for “Emergency” and “Azaad” on their opening day:
| Details | Emergency | Azaad |
|---|---|---|
| Director | Kangana Ranaut | Abhishek Kapoor |
| Lead Cast | Kangana Ranaut | Rasha Thadani, Aman Devgan, Ajay Devgan |
| Budget | ₹25 crore | ₹50 crore |
| Opening Day Occupancy | 10-15% | Low |
| Advance Booking | Poor | Poor |
| Opening Day Collection | ₹2-3 crore | ₹1-1.75 crore |
| Unique Selling Point | Biopic on Indira Gandhi | Bond between man and horse |
| Pre-release Buzz | Moderate | Low |
| Competition | Pushpa 2: The Rule (Reloaded) | Pushpa 2: The Rule (Reloaded) |
| Challenges | Reliance on word-of-mouth, slow start | Limited buzz, dependent on emotional appeal |
Both films face challenges in building momentum, with “Pushpa 2” posing a significant competition for their weekend performance.
