The actor, who was a model unto himself within the pre-pandemic period, with the power to ensure robust openings for uncommon movies along with his identify alongside, is now his third underperformer of in a row.

According to Pinkvilla, the actor’s newest social comedy — Doctor G — has offered solely 19,000 tickets on the three main cinema chains within the nation forward of its debut immediately, which interprets to round Rs 50 lakh in income. According to Hindustan Times, the quantity would possibly improve to round Rs 70 lakh to Rs 80 lakh, however that also isn’t ok by Ayushmann’s requirements.

Since his movies primarily goal multiplex audiences, the identical audiences which can be prone to pre-book tickets, Doctor G must depend on abnormally excessive walk-ins at single-screen areas to bolster its day one figures. It must be famous that Doctor G has been rated A by the CBFC, in contrast to most of Ayushmann’s earlier hits.
