The pandemic changed the game for Hindi content. Stars, and users too, were under the impression what’s working on mobiles and televisions would also resonate on celluloid. It was anything but. With a majority of the films biting the bust, a handful of them have saved the day, two of them being dubbed juggernauts. Here’s how the success of Hindi films looks like in the first half of 2022:
Chapter 2 made more money on day 1 than the first chapter made in its lifetime. It was hysterical and historic.
