Sooryavanshi Opens to Record Screening post-Pandemic

Sooryavanshi is all set to open to record screen count across the globe. As the revenue sharing issue with the multiplexes chain of India is resolved at the last minute, the film is all set for opening in a whopping 4200 screens in India alone. In the overseas market, the film will get released in 1300 screens which is huge.

In total Sooryavanshi is opening in around 5500 screens worldwide which is easily the biggest release of any Akshay Kumar starrer film. The good news is that in various parts of India, 100% occupancy is now allowed in theaters. Others are also following the norm and there also 100% occupancy should be allowed in the coming days.

Sooryavanshi is easily one of the most awaited films of the year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic film has waited around 1 year and 8 months to get released in the theaters. Kudos to the makers of the film who waited for theaters to open and didn't go OTT way.

Coming to opening and box office collection of the film. Any business in excess of 20 crore net for the first day will be touted as a very good opening. And if the film manages to collect in excess of 150 crore net in India in the theatrical run, then it will be a respectable total. Ideally, the film needs to touch or cross the 200 crore net mark in India. But again all this is an unknown factor and will only be known after a few days of theatrical run. We will have a pretty good picture by the end of 1st Monday.
