Bollywood films released in August broke all previous records by earning more than Rs 1000 crore

Recently, the country’s largest cinema chain PVR Inox also announced that in the month of August, 1 crore 90 lakh viewers watched movies in their theaters, which is a new record for the highest number of viewers visiting theaters in a single month. Earlier, Multiplex Association of India had announced that 2 crore 10 lakh spectators would reach theaters across the country on the weekend of 11th to 13th August. Which was a new record for such a large number of spectators reaching the cinema on a single weekend.

There was hope that now the good days of cinema people have returned.

In fact, when Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’, released on Republic Day this year, broke all the earning records, everyone in the film industry started hoping that the good days of cinema people have returned. But after that, for the next six months, apart from ‘The Kerala Story’, no other film could repeat the performance of ‘Pathan’. From February to July, films like ‘Tu Jhoothi ​​Main Makkar’, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, ‘The Kerala Story’ and ‘Adipurush’ definitely reached the Rs 100 crore club, but they got less success than expected.

All records of earning in theaters were broken in the month of August.

The confidence of the film industry was shaken so much due to continuous box office failures that they did not release any big film in the months of May-June, which are considered to be earning summer vacations due to school holidays. At the same time, the Bollywood people left the first three weeks of July empty. But after this, in the month of August, all the records of earning in theaters were broken.

Earning more than Rs 1000 crore

The film ‘Dream Girl 2’, released in the last week of August, has also reached the threshold of 100 crore club.

In this way, the films released in Hindi in the month of August broke all previous records by earning more than 1000 crores.
