Bheed box office collection: Anubhav Sinha's latest release, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar, had a disappointing start at the box office on March 24. The film depicts several characters navigating the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic-induced nationwide lockdown in 2020.

The movie, which earned only Rs. 15 lahks on its opening day, failed to impress the audience, and its collection remained dull on the second day, earning 0.65 crore. With the current tally at 1.15 crore, the film faced tough competition from Hollywood's John Wick, which is performing better. Even the recently released movies Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway and Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar are performing higher than Bheed.

The film features Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Pankaj Kapur, and Kritika Kamra in key roles and focuses on the plight of migrant workers who moved from cities to their hometowns during the first coronavirus lockdown. The movie was labelled "anti-India" by a section of social media users before its release.

Shah Rukh Khan has officially returned with a bang! The superstar's movie Pathaan created history on Tuesday as it became the first Hindi movie to cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark at the worldwide box office in phase one of its release, Yash Raj Films (YRF) said on the day. On March 3, it also beat Baahubali 2's BO collections, becoming the highest-grossing film in India ever.

Bheed failed to meet the expectations of the audience and has had a poor start at the box office. However, there is still hope that the film will gain popularity through word of mouth and positive reviews in the future.
