Know the box office collection Zwigato.
Zwigato, the latest film by acclaimed director Nandita Das, starring Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami, has failed to impress the audience and critics alike.
The film had a limited release of only 409 screens across India, which could be one of the reasons for its poor performance. However, even with such a low screen count, the film’s occupancy rate was dismal. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film needs to witness a big jump over the weekend to recover its costs.
Zwigato is Kapil Sharma’s first serious role after his successful stint as a comedian and host on television. He plays Manas, a food delivery man who struggles to make ends meet for his family after losing his job at a factory. Shahana Goswami plays his wife Pratima, who has aspirations of her own but supports her husband through thick and thin. The film is set in Odisha and deals with the socio-economic issues faced by the working class.
Nandita Das, who has previously directed films like Firaaq and Manto, has once again tried to bring out the harsh realities of life through her lens. She has also written screenplays and dialogues for Zwigato. The film has been praised for its realistic portrayal of characters and situations, as well as its subtle humor and emotions.
However, it seems that Zwigato is not everyone’s cup of tea. The film’s niche appeal and lack of star power may have hampered its chances at the box office. Moreover, the film had to compete with other releases like Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, which has been doing well since its release on March 10.
Zwigato may have been an artistic endeavor by Nandita Das and Kapil Sharma, but it has failed to translate into commercial success so far. It remains to be seen if the film can pick up some momentum over the weekend or fade away into oblivion.
