The year 2018 has turned to be a very lucrative one for the films released but this Friday proved to be a dud for all the films that was released. As many as four Hindi films released yesterday but none of them could strike gold at the box office.

The films that released were Kajol’s Helicopter Eela, Govinda’s Fryday, Tumbbad and Mahesh Bhatt’s Jalebi but all witnessed very poor footfalls.

Helicopter Eela was the best of the lot but it has opened to not-so-positive reviews and made only Rs 75 lakhs on Day 1. The film is directed by Pradeep Sarkar and also stars National Award winning actor Riddhi Sen. Hopefully, the film will see some momentum and growth in the weekend.

FryDay saw mixed negative reviews and made only Rs 25 lakhs on Day one. It might be because the film did not get that many screen shows. The film also stars Varun Sharma and Digangana Suryavanshi

Sohum Shah’s visual and technical stunner Tumbbad witnessed some positive buzz in the evening but the numbers were still down. It collected Rs 50 lakhs net.

Rhea Chakraborty’s and Varun Mitra’s Jalebi made only Rs 35 lakhs making it one of the lowest openers ever for the Bhatts.

Whether it is because of the #MeToo movement or the films that have released, the audience has not taken interest in visiting the theatres. Hopefully, the fate of these films will improve over the week.
