Bheema is a Kannada action thriller movie directed by and starring Vijaya Kumar with Ashwini as the female lead. The movie has gained a lot of attention because of its hit songs and the success of Vijaya Kumar’s previous movie Salaga.
Budget and Box Office Expectations
The budget of Bheema is around ₹18-20 crore including loan interest. To be considered a HIT, the movie needs to collect at least ₹35 crore. This is important because the OTT, television and dubbing rights haven’t been sold yet, except for the music rights. All theatrical rights in Karnataka have been sold except for the BKT (Bangalore-Kolar-Tumkur) region, which the producer has kept.
Day 1 Collection Prediction
Thanks to the buzz around Bheema and its popular songs, the movie is expected to have a strong opening. Many shows are already almost full. Based on current trends Bheema is likely to earn between ₹5-6 crore net on its first day with a gross collection of about ₹8 crore.
Lifetime Collection Estimation
If the movie gets positive feedback, it could collect ₹15 crore net in its opening weekend with a total gross of ₹20 crore. By the end of the first week Bheema could reach ₹20-25 crore net with a worldwide gross collection of ₹32-35 crore.
However, with other movies releasing around August 15th Bheema might face tough competition, which could affect its box office performance. Still, it has a good chance of collecting ₹30 crore net with a total lifetime gross collection of ₹42-45 crore worldwide.
Final Thoughts
With its strong pre release buzz, popular songs and Vijaya Kumar’s return after three years Bheema is set for a solid performance at the box office. How much it will collect depends on how audiences like the movie and how it does in the coming weeks.
