The box office performance of the Akshay Kumar-starrer “Sooryavanshi”, Rajinikanth-headlined “Annaatthe” and multi-starrer Hollywood release “Eternals” has infused a much needed festive spirit to the cinema business, which was hit badly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, say exhibitors and distributors.

The three mega films released during the Diwali weekend to mixed critical reviews but were lapped up by the masses.

15 crore in the country.

In a video announcement on Monday, producers of “Sooryavanshi” said that the worldwide box office figures of the film stood at Rs 101.

66 crore.

“Sooryavanshi” makers waited for nearly 18 months for the movie’s release, which was originally slated to arrive in theatres in March last year but the pandemic led to an unprecedented shutdown of cinema halls everywhere.
