Diljit Dosanjh's Soorma gives stiff competition to Hollywood release despite releasing in 1,100 screens only
Still from Soorma
Still from Antman And The Wasp
According to trade expert Amod Mehra, both the films are performing well at the box-office. "Despite a slow start, Soorma picked up pace, thanks to the positive reviews. When [earnings from] digital and satellite rights are considered, the makers are likely to make profits. At the same time, Hollywood superhero flicks have been popular in India, and the collections of Antman And The Wasp is a testimony to it. Apart from kids, the young and middle-aged too are flocking to theatres to watch it."
The success of Soorma has caught trade smith Girish Wankhede off-guard, given that Singh has not particularly been in the limelight. The makers haven't spent too much on promotional work for the film either, he suggests. "Success [of films] is no longer [defined by] superstars, but by the script. [Thankfully], people are exposed to good content," he says.
