Box Office: Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's '72 Hoorain' Scores A Low Opening Weekend

Mumbai, July 10 - National-award winning filmmaker Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's latest film "72 Hoorain" has had a low opening weekend at the box office as the movie could score approx. 1.25 crores net in three days. ## Starring Pavan Malhotra and Ameer Bashir in lead roles, "72 Hoorain" was hit by controversy even before its release as a section accused the makers of hurting religious sentiments through the movie. CBFC granted the movie 'A' certificate. ## Unlike "The Kerala Story", this kind of controversy failed to hype up "72 Hoorain" as the movie almost went unnoticed at the box office in the opening weekend. It took a low start and netted just 35 lacs, before scoring approx. 45 lacs each on Saturday and Sunday. ## Produced by Gulab Singh Tanwar, Ashoke Pandit, Kiran Dagar, and Anirudh Tanwar, the movie is unlikely to make a miraculous turnaround going forward as word of mouth is almost negligible due to extremely low footfalls in the first three days.## Stay tuned...

A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value. GG is 3/3. pic.twitter.com/MIVRtkmtbd— Eze (@EzeBaum) July 10, 2023 ## Greta Gerwig’s #Barbie is an ABSOLUTE marvel of a film.

The hype is REAL. pic.twitter.com/Y6cPbT7nHS— brian long (@brianlo16160896) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie REVIEW: Heartfelt & hilarious! Margot Robbie’s crown jewel performance (Oscars here we come). It’s super fun, endearing & magical with a 3rd act that’ll beach you off. This isn’t just another comedy, it’s Greta Gerwig’s BEST movie ever!!

Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play. 🎀— Katcy Stephan (@katcystephan) July 10, 2023 ## No surprise - #Barbie is a knockout. As a comedy, it’s a total crowd pleaser - as an indictment of capitalistic feminism and urgent call to go ahead and eat our pets if trapped with them following a major earthquake it is devastating. Gosling steals the show - absolutely loved it— Ben Mekler (@benmekler) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie WOW!!! Greta Gerwig really is one of a kind. One of the best things I’ve seen this year! The technical craft is so detailed and everyone gives a knock out performance. A staggering achievement (I just rewatched the trailer and did not see the movie)— The Film Drunk (@thefilmdrunk) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie was a deeply cathartic experience. It’s about industrialization of art/iconography forming sensibility instead of individualism, and Greta tells it with so much joy and heart. I was cackling at Gosling’s himbo Ken one scene and bawling my eyes out at the next. A classic— ty (@DennisDuganFan) July 10, 2023 ## Stay tuned...
