Given that it barely surpassed the 30 crore threshold, Thank God’s first week’s total (first seven days) was extremely low. The movie’s Monday performance was worse than projected, falling to just 1.50 crores*.
A sum like this was inevitable given that the movie’s Friday box office take was 3.30 crores. The movie will now continue to earn in a similar range through Thursday, and then, as a result of the entrance of nearly a half-dozen new releases, it will once more see a significant decline starting on Friday.
The current gross for Thank God is 30.75 crores*, although in a perfect world, this would have been the figure after the first three days, at the very least. It is evident that the drama that Indra Kumar directed was not well received by the crowd, nevertheless.
One major factor in this is that the movie lacked the humour that made Total Dhamaal, the last project from the Indra Kumar-Ajay Devgn “jodi,” a huge success at the box office. With a star-studded cast, the movie did well by surpassing the 150 crore milestone.
Naturally, to reach a quantity like this today would be comparable to doing blockbuster business. Although 75 crores is a luxury when seen in the context of box office nowadays, even half of it would have been achieved by this movie starring Sidharth Malhotra and would have been regarded as a decent enough number. Unfortunately, the movie’s lifetime earnings would be 50% less than that, and at best, they would fall in the 38–40 crore area.
Thank God Day 7 at the Box Office: Sidharth Malhotra and Ajay Devgn’s Film Ends Its First Week with a Very Low Total
Thank God, a much-anticipated film starring Sidharth Malhotra and Ajay Devgn, was expected to make a strong impact at the box office. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film, which mixes comedy, fantasy, and drama, generated a lot of buzz prior to its release. However, as the first week comes to a close, the box office performance has been underwhelming, leaving industry experts and fans surprised.
The Film’s Premise and Expectations
Thank God was marketed as an entertaining movie with a strong concept life after death, where Sidharth Malhotra’s character finds himself in a surreal encounter with Ajay Devgn’s portrayal of Chitragupta, the Hindu God of Death. The film promised to be a light-hearted, yet thought-provoking take on life, death, and the consequences of one’s actions, all laced with humor. With a stellar ensemble cast, including popular faces like Rakul Preet Singh and others, the film was expected to draw large audiences to the theaters.
With a mix of comedy and fantasy, the movie aimed to appeal to families and audiences looking for a feel-good experience. The star power of Sidharth Malhotra, known for his performances in Shershaah and Ek film’s performance at the box office has been disappointing.
Box Office Performance: Day 7 and the First Week
As the film entered its seventh day of release, the figures were not promising. Thank God failed to gain significant traction over the first week, with its collections falling below expectations. The film opened to a lukewarm response on its release day, and although there was some improvement in collections during the weekend, the weekdays saw a sharp decline. By the end of the first week, Thank God had earned a considerably low total compared to other films that were released during the same period.
