Maa Box Office Collection Day 1: Kajol's horror film makes Rs 4.50 crore debut; faces stiff ccompetition from Vishnu Manchu's 'Kannappa' and Brad Pitt's 'F1'
Kajol 's long-awaited return to the big screen with the horror drama Maa has seen a respectable start at the Indian box office. The film which faced some stiff competition at the ticket windows, managed to earn an estimated Rs 4.50 crore nett collection on its opening day. Directed by Vishal Furia , the supernatural thriller has managed to make its mark despite facing intense competition from two high-profile releases — the Vishnu Manchu starrer Kannappa and Brad Pitt 's racing drama F1. Released on June 27, Maa marked Kajol's comeback after a three-year hiatus and generated steady buzz among fans of both horror and emotional dramas. With a UA 16+ rating and a runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes, the film combines Indian mythology and psychological horror, following a mother-daughter road trip that spirals into a chilling confrontation with a cursed legend. The film saw a slow start to its collections, recording just around 8.23% occupancy for its morning shows and saw its numbers rise to 32.61% for its night shows. With a collection of Rs 4.50 crore, Maa placed third in Friday's box office battle, coming in behind F1, which earned an estimated Rs 5 crore nett and Kannappa, which emerged on top with a total Rs 9 crore collection. While the opening figures may not be front-loaded in comparison to big-budget tentpoles, trade experts consider the haul a decent start given the film's mid-range scale and genre-specific appeal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo Maa, entering a crowded box office window could have also played a role in diminishing its box office collections. Despite the competition, Kajol's emotional performance and the film has been praised. Added support from Ajay Devgn , including a limited-time 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free' ticket offer, has also helped drive ticket sales, particularly in urban centres. Maa still has room to grow over the weekend, especially if positive reviews continue to build.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' box office collection day 8: Aamir Khan's film mints over Rs 94 crore in a week; surpasses Akshay Kumar's ‘Kesari Chapter 2' lifetime collection
Aamir Khan has proved once again why he's called Mr Perfectionist. His new film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has worked wonders at the box office. The film has collected over Rs 94 crore in eight days. Aamir's bold move pays off? Aamir took a big risk by releasing 'Sitaare Zameen Par' only in cinemas, with no OTT plan. This gamble seems to have paid off. The film opened well and kept pulling people to theatres all week. Strong numbers in the first week According to Sacnilk, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' collected Rs 94.95 crore in its first week. Here's how it did each day: Friday: Rs 10.7 crore Saturday: Rs 20.2 crore Sunday: Rs 27.25 crore Monday: Rs 8.5 crore Tuesday: Rs 8.5 crore Wednesday: Rs 7.25 crore Thursday: Rs 6.5 crore In its first seven days, it made Rs 88.9 crore. On the next Friday (day 8), it added another Rs 6.75 crore, as per early estimates by Sacnilk, taking the total to Rs 94.65 crore. Leaves ' Kesari Chapter 2 ' behind This is a big win for Aamir. His film has surpassed Akshay Kumar 's 'Kesari Chapter 2', which had a lifetime India total of Rs 92.53 crore. Now faces new films at the box office But it's not all smooth sailing. The film is now up against new releases. Kajol's horror film 'Maa', Vishnu Manchu's 'Kannappa', and Brad Pitt's 'F1: The Movie' have also hit cinemas. Because of this, the film's numbers can be see a drop. Still, the film is expected to cross Rs 100 crore by the end of its second weekend. What is the film about? In 'Sitaare Zameen Par', Aamir Khan plays a basketball coach who trains a team of players with special needs. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza. It introduces ten fresh faces on screen, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

Kannappa movie review: A messy epic where devotion arrives too late
First off, because people had modest to low expectations on this film, it's safe to say that there are many positives here, more than expected. Vishnu Manchu's much-publicised magnum opus positions itself as a spiritual retelling of a tribal warrior's transformation into Lord Shiva's most ardent devotee. Unfortunately, it spends more time in disjointed subplots that don't do anything to the plot. By the time Kannappa finally discovers the pulse of its own story, some two hours into its bloated runtime, the audience is already spiritually liberated from the act of caring. Director: Mukesh Kumar Singh Cast: Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal Kannappa is based on the classic arc of the non-believer-turned believer. Our protagonist Thinnadu (Vishnu Manchu) is an atheist in the second century who despises the rituals of his tribes and rebels against the norms. Which sounds promising on paper, except the film never explores what that really means. Instead, we are launched into a painfully superficial love story with Nemali (Preity Mukundhan), which mostly serves as an excuse for the awkward age-gap romance and heavy midriff shots. After an uninspired war, an ironic love story, and a brief encounter with the divine, Thinnadu evolves into the devout Kannappa.
