Box Office Special Features: ‘US‘ Beats ‘Ulajh‘ Collects Rs 1.25 Cr Approx On Day 1, Rare Hollywood Film Screened In Original English Version At Gaiety Galaxy

It’s a rare sight to see a Hollywood film being showcased in its original English version at a popular cinema hall in Mumbai. However, that’s exactly what happened when the new horror thriller ‘US‘ opened in theatres on Friday, March 22. The film, directed by Jordan Peele, was screened in its original English version at the iconic Gaiety Galaxy cinema in Bandra, Mumbai. Interestingly, the film has managed to attract a sizeable audience, despite being an English-language film with no Hindi dubbing.

Box Office Performance

‘US‘ has opened to a decent response at the box office. As per early estimates, the film has collected approximately Rs 1.25 crore on its opening day in India. This is a good start, considering it’s an English-language film. The film’s performance is expected to pick up over the weekend, given its positive reviews and word-of-mouth.

‘Ulajh‘ Fails To Impress

On the other hand, the new Marathi film ‘Ulajh‘ failed to make an impact at the box office. The film, which was released alongside ‘US‘, has collected a meager Rs 10 lakh on its opening day. This is a disappointing start for the film, which was expected to do better given its regional appeal.

Other Releases

Other films that released this Friday include the Hindi film ‘Mere Pyare Prime Minister‘ and the Tamil film ‘Airaa‘. While ‘Mere Pyare Prime Minister‘ has collected around Rs 25 lakh on its opening day, ‘Airaa‘ has managed to collect Rs 15 lakh. Both films have failed to make a significant impact at the box office.

Conclusion

The box office performance of ‘US‘ is a testament to the growing popularity of English-language films in India. Despite being showcased in its original version without any Hindi dubbing, the film has managed to attract a sizeable audience. On the other hand, the poor performance of ‘Ulajh‘, ‘Mere Pyare Prime Minister‘, and ‘Airaa‘ highlights the challenges faced by regional and smaller films in competing with bigger releases.
