Assi Final Box Office Collections: Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha’s courtroom drama flops with Rs 10 crore closing

Assi Final Box Office Collections: Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha’s courtroom drama flops with Rs 10 crore closing

Assi, directed by Anubhav Sinha and starring Taapsee Pannu, Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and others, has almost exhausted its theatrical run at the box office. The courtroom drama opened with Rs. 1 crore and went on to collect around Rs. 6.50 crore nett in its opening week.  It further witnessed a sharp decline in the second week, when it netted around Rs. 2.45 crore. The movie hit a new low in the third week, minting just Rs. 90 lakh, of which around Rs. 70 lakh came in the weekend only. That took its total cume to Rs. 9.85 crore nett in India.  Though the movie has one more week of free run, the low-level of daily collections suggests that the movie won’t be able to go much further. Based on the current trends, Assi is looking for a finish at just Rs. 10 crore nett or so at the Indian box office. This is around 1/3rd of what the previous collaboration of Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha, Thappad, collected at the …

Assi Box Office Collections: Taapsee Pannu’s courtroom drama adds Rs 70 lakh in 3rd weekend, nears theatrical end

Assi, directed by Anubhav Sinha and starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role, added Rs. 70 lakh to the tally in its third weekend, with Rs. 25 lakh coming on Sunday. The courtroom drama took its total cume to Rs. 9.65 crore nett at the Indian box office in its 17 days of theatrical run.  Bankrolled by Benaras Mediaworks and T-Series Films, Assi is looking to wind up its entire theatrical run very soon, with the arrival of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. Based on the current trends, the Taapsee Pannu starrer is expected to close its box office journey at the Rs. 10-11 crore nett mark. With such a disappointing theatrical performance, the Anubhav Sinha directorial turned out to be a flop at the box office. That said, the business of such small/mid-sized movies has gone down severely in the post-pandemic times. Audience now prefers to watch such movies which zero to no anticipation on digital platforms only, as they now have patience enough to wait for 8 weeks. The makers need to disrupt this patience …

The previous collaboration of Taapsee and Sinha was Thappad, which had collected around Rs 30 crore in its full run.  That said, the business of such small/mid-sized movies has gone down severely in the post-pandemic times.

Going by the present trends, Assi won’t be able to stick to the cinemas for a long time.
