In a completely unexpected turn of events, filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s re-released film 'Interstellar' has earned more at the Indian box office ( Rs 10.31 crore) than Himesh Reshammiya’s potboiler 'Badass Ravikumar' ( Rs 6.6 crore) and Junaid Khan-Khushi Kapoor’s 'Loveyapa' ( Rs 4.4 crore).
According to a report in Indian Express, the overall Hindi occupancy for 'Loveyapa' stood at 16.35 per cent, while for 'Badass Ravi Kumar', it was 12.81 per cent. Interestingly, despite a poor box office performance, 'Badass Ravi Kumar' is becoming one of Himesh Reshammiya’s highest-grossing films ever. As for Junaid and Khushi, the film marks their official big-screen debut.
'Interstellar', starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Matt Damon, was unlike any of Nolan's previous works. It seamlessly blended human emotions with sci-fi elements, crafting a narrative that was both deeply intimate and grand in scope.
According to industry trade websites, Interstellar earned ₹2.72 crore on February 7, ₹3.77 crore on February 8, and ₹3.81 crore on February 9, bringing its total opening weekend collection in India to ₹10.30 crore. This makes it one of the biggest re-release openings for an English-language film in India, further solidifying Nolan’s fanbase in the country.
