Bengal Tiger – Critics disliked and audiences enjoyed. That’s what we have to say if the 18 days world wide collections are anything to go by. Mass Raja has once again proved that his comedy alone will work wonders no matter what the content of his films is.
After its third weekend at box office, Bengal Tiger amassed nearly 21.81 crores of ‘share’, while the theatrical rights are sold for 22 crores including print and publicity. In Andhra and Telangana alone, the film garnered 18.09 crores, while it collected 2.17 crores share from Karnataka, 1 crore from USA and 55 lakhs from other places. Probably with few theatres still running the show, some distributors might cross the finish line but others will escape with minor bruises.
Though there are no hefty profits for distributors, it’s good that they have suffered huge losses unlike in the cases of films like Soukyam. Appreciate director Sampath Nandi’s inclusion of proper commercial elements in this otherwise routine film. Tamanna’s glamour and Rashi Khanna’s bikini treat is another value added asset for Bengal Tiger.
