Kangana Ranaut’s much-anticipated aerial action film, Tejas, seems to be facing turbulence at the box office as it registered a lukewarm performance in its opening weekend. Despite sharing screens with Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, Tejas failed to take off, reporting a total collection of Rs 3.8 crore in three days.
Tejas Box Office Collection
Tejas, directed by Sarvesh Mewara, revolves around the extraordinary journey of Tejas Gill, an Air Force pilot. However, the film seems to be grounded in terms of box office success, with no significant growth recorded since its release. Sunday’s collection saw a slight fall, standing at Rs 1.25 crore, maintaining a stagnant trend observed since the opening day. In a surprising turn of events, Tejas faces tough competition from Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, which has exhibited a steady improvement in its performance. The three-day collection for 12th Fail is double that of Tejas. Thus signaling a divergent fate for the two films released simultaneously.
Kangana’s Plea To Fans
Kangana Ranaut is aware of the challenges faced by the film industry. She also took to social media on Saturday to urge her fans to support Tejas. In a video message, she emphasized the adverse effects of the pandemic on the Hindi film industry. Therefore highlighting the closure of several theaters. Despite her plea, Tejas struggled to attract a growing audience throughout the weekend. Tejas adds to Kangana Ranaut’s recent streak of films, including Panga, Thalaivii, Dhaakad, and Chandramukhi 2, which fell short of box office expectations. Even her production venture, Tiku Weds Sheru, opted for an OTT release.
A Challenging Flight Ahead
As Tejas faces headwinds at the box office, it remains to be seen whether the film can recover in the coming weeks. Or if it will join the list of Kangana’s recent cinematic endeavors that failed to take flight. The industry and fans alike await the fate of Tejas, contemplating the challenges posed by the current cinematic landscape. Tejas’ lackluster box office performance raises questions about the audience’s reception to niche genres. And the impact of the ongoing pandemic on theatrical releases.
Kangana Ranaut’s plea for moviegoers to return to theaters underscores the industry’s struggle to regain momentum post-COVID disruptions. As 12th Fail gains traction, it prompts a closer look at the dynamics. Thus influencing film choices in today’s cinema landscape. Tejas’ journey at the box office serves as a reflection of the evolving audience preferences. And the challenges filmmakers face in navigating the ever-changing tides of the entertainment industry.
