Though the Telugu cinema has been doing great despite the pandemic season, Bollywood has eaten a death blow on a whole. Not even a single film could score a hit except Suryavamshi in 2021.
Adding to that the bipic season has not been so encouraging in recent times. Several films toppled at the box office.
But Gangubai Kathiawadi, the direct Hindi film based on the life of a mafia queen at a Red light area in Mumbai has emerged as a hit.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali with Alia Bhatt in the title role, this became an instant winner at the box office.
Critics and trade pundits say that both the star and the character that deals with prostitution pulled the audience to theatres.
This can be called the next Bollywood hit after Suryavanshi since last year.
The collections on Monday also maintained more than 30% which is an excellent performance in recent times.
Moreover tomorrow is a holiday due to Mahashivarathri and this may add more footfalls to this.
Though this is not what Bollywood has seen before the pandemic era, it can be considered as a light at the end of the tunnel to hope that the audience are still in mood to come to theatres to watch a direct Hindi film if the films are promising.
