Himmatwala box office report: The Ajay Devgn-Tamannaah starrer falls flat in the opening weekend

Going by the weekend collections of Rs 31 crores, Sajid Khan’s big budget ‘entertainer’ might prove to be a damp squib at the BO
Sajid Khan will certainly curse himself for making bravo statements like, ‘My name is Sajid Khan and I can never make a flop film.’ If the filmmaker is himmatwala enough to see his latest movie’s box office collections, we are sure he’ll think ten times before making any such claims henceforth.

Himmatwala box office report: Sajid Khan’s entertainer earns Rs 12 crore on opening day

Contrary to mixed reviews, the Ajay Devgn starrer is still minting good money at the ticket counters and is considered the actor’s highest solo opener
The Ajay Devgn-Tamannaah starrer Himmatwala has managed to get a bumper opening at major metropolitan cities, which has helped the film garner Rs 12 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. If trade analysts are to be believed, the single screens opened to packed houses for the morning shows in Mumbai, Punjab and Rajasthan, while multiplexes in cities are expected to witness a big jump in the shows and over the weekend.

Himmatwala movie review: Sajid Khan, we want our refund for enduring this abysmal ‘effort’

Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala has been riding on good hype, massive promotions and the fact that it’s a ‘rewrite’ of the 1983 hit film. But we wonder if the film, its star director and its lead actor deserve any of it
Ask us if Himmatwala justifies all the hype surrounding it, and the answer is a clear ‘no’! It is purely old wine in a not-so-new bottle. The story of the original Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer was not extraordinary, and the screenplay of Sajid Khan’s ‘rewrite’ doesn’t make it any better.
