Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s much-anticipated Brahmastra is all set to release on September 9. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film has been in the making for many years. Amid industry-wide boycott calls, the film has kicked off its advance booking on a positive note. In less than 24 hours of pre-bookings going live, the film has sold approximately 27,000 tickets at three national chains – PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. As per a report in Pinkvilla, the IMAX shows are also attracting audiences. It should be noted that only the 3D version of the film is currently
available for advance booking; tickets for the regular 2D version are expected to go live next week.
Combined with the film’s massive scale and the attention around its lead pair, there has been a lot of interest around Brahmastra. While superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna play pivotal roles, Shah Rukh Khan also has a cameo in the film. As per reports, industry estimates are currently pegging Brahmastra’s opening day figures to be around Rs 18-22 crore, however, the number may rise if the tickets continue to be sold at this rate.
