Kapkapiii Box Office Day 1: Shreyas Talpade's Horror Comedy Off To A Slow Start
Last Updated:
Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade have previously shared the screen space in Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again.
Kapkapiii, the Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor starrer horror-comedy, has made a lackluster debut at the box office. Released on limited screens, the film couldn't gather much audience despite giving special offers like Buy-One-Get-One for the opening weekend. According to sacnilk.com, the film minted a total of Rs 26 Lakh Nett India on Day 1.
The major reason for the low numbers could be its stiff competition from big projects like Bhool Chuk Maaf, featuring RajKummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, as well as Kesari Veer: The Legends of the Somnath, starring Sooraj Pancholi.
Some of the other holdover releases, including Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 8 and Final Destination: Bloodlines, are too big competitors for the horror-comedy due to their exceptional performance on the big screen. However, going by the positive word-of-mouth of the critics and viewers, Kapkapiii is expected to gain momentum in the coming days.
Directed by Sangeeth Sivan, the film is an official Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Romancham and also features celebs like Siddhi Idani, Jay Thakkar, Sonia Rathee and Varun Pandey in significant roles.
Kapkapiii marked Sivan's collaboration with Tusshar after a long gap of 19 years. They had previously worked together in Kya Kool Hain Hum, while the director joined hands with Shreyas Talpade in the 2006 comedy-drama Apna Sapna Money Money.
The director lost his life during the making of Kapkapiii, while the film was in post-production. Recently, in a chat with Zoom, Tusshar mourned his demise and said, 'This is a sensitive topic for all of us. We are still in disbelief. The shock and emotional overwhelm are not intended to carry his legacy or memories forward. Unfortunately, he's not here to enjoy the film."
The film follows a group of friends who, while experimenting with an Ouija board, unintentionally trigger paranormal activity in their shared home. This results in a series of spooky and hilarious events, blending horror with comedy.
Tusshar and Shreyas have previously shared the screen space in Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again. They will be reuniting again for Welcome…To The Jungle, co-starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and others.
