In the bollywood business, it is customary for filmmakers to disclose exaggerated box office receipts in an attempt to generate greater buzz for their films. industry norms believe an inflation of 3–5% to be acceptable. Therefore, it is not unusual for the reported amount to be 10.5 crores if a film generates 10 crores.
However, things are not the same in the South, particularly in the telugu business. Star heroes have a big obsession with records, and several record labels boast of 25–30% inflated collections to stroke their stars' egos. bollywood appears to be following suit today, registering inflated box office receipts of between 20 and 25 percent—and that too for a picture without any major stars.
Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's film stree 2 has been performing incredibly well. According to trade figures, the movie earned 60 crores on its first day (including paid screenings) and about 30 crores on its second, for a net total of 90 crores. With 65 crores on the first day and 35 crores on the second, the creators of the movie say that it achieved the 100 crore mark in two days. Experts in the industry are questioning this exaggeration, wondering why the filmmakers are acting so frantic when the movie is already doing well. These exaggerated figures could incite unwarranted animosity and hatred rather than be helpful.
These exaggerated figures could incite unwarranted animosity and hatred rather than be helpful. "I thought manipulation in collections was reserved for films that weren't performing well, but I was wrong," a Rajasthani theater owner said. As another trade expert said, "There's no need to inflate and manipulate collections when a film is already doing outstanding business." Large distributor wrote, "There's a scam going on." Pehle... 1%, 3%, Phir, 5%, 7.5%,... 10% ….12% … Aur Phir ….15% … Aajkal ….20% … stree 2 is expected to be a huge hit movie, earning up to 400 crores throughout its theatrical run. There's no need for inflated figures with such a clear path ahead—ideally, common sense will win out.
