Vadh 2, starring two veteran actors in lead roles, Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta, is performing well at the box office. Even though the collections are low, they are nevertheless respectable for a film with no star rating. The film earned roughly Rs. 20 lakh on its first Wednesday, a 10% reduction from Monday.
Vadh 2, directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu, grossed Rs. 2.85 crore nett over its six-day run. The criminal thriller is expected to earn Rs. 3 crore nett in its first week at the Indian box office. According to current trends, the Sanjay Mishra film is likely to gross between Rs. 3.50 crore and Rs. 4 crore nett.
Despite a promising start, the film was unable to maintain its momentum. If the film had shown better legs, the lifetime objective for Vadh 2 would have been far greater. Nonetheless, that is a respectable figure given how the first picture performed. However, some segments of the industry are unwilling to recognise the value in such outcomes. One portal even claims that “the second part shouldn’t really be happening.” A film with no face value is expected to generate approximately ten times the revenue of its predecessor, albeit at a modest level, indicating some appreciation.
Ignoring its existence outright is myopic. Furthermore, at a time when the business is sometimes plagued by a shortage of releases for several weeks of the year, discouraging films that are at least gaining traction is counterproductive. Beyond box office numbers, filmmaking is fundamentally an art form, and the notion of banning films purely because they do not appeal to large audiences is terribly misguided.
