Despite the weekend, Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra’s movie is still losing money at the box office.
Thank God, the film, starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra, didn’t capitalise on its ideal Diwali release date. The amount of money it makes at the box office has been dropping daily.
The comedy-drama Thank God, starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra, was released over the Diwali holidays but did not do well with the public. Since the film’s opening on October 25, the collections at the ticket counters have been middling. The movie’s opening day box office results indicate that it has no possibility of staging a comeback.
According to Pinkvilla, the movie directed by Indra Kumar barely managed to make Rs 3 crore on Friday. With this, its total earnings are just appalling for a Diwali release—roughly Rs. 21 crore. One of the most lucrative times for Bollywood movies is often around the festival of lights. Now that Friday’s earnings were only in the single digits, it appears that viewers are favouring Ram Setu and Kantara (in Hindi) over Thank God.
Thank God, it hasn’t done any better in the overseas market either. The Legend of Maula Jatt, a Pakistani release starring Fawad Khan, has eclipsed the movie in the UK and North America.
The story of Thank God centres on a self-centered guy who, following an accident, ends up in “Yamlok,” where Ajay Devgn’s Chitragupta offers him a second chance at life in exchange for playing a game. Rakul Preet Singh also appears in the movie. The film’s hackneyed narrative, which has been used in other Hollywood and Bollywood productions, hasn’t won over critics.
Thank God, according to movie critic Shubhra Gupta, “could have been packed with lessons and laughter,” but it lacked the joy. “The official remake of Norwegian film Sorte Kugler, Thank God, marks Indra Kumar’s comeback to Bollywood after a lengthy break,” she noted in her review. His style is still the same and doesn’t help a fantasy that needs to be light on its feet. He is best known for his musical rom-coms, like Dil, in which Bollywood stars play grown-up bad guys, and for the raunchy Masti and Dhamaal franchises, which are full of oversexed men and words that can mean more than one thing.
