Dobaaraa registers 2-3 per cent occupancy, shows cancelled

Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati's film, Dobaaraa, has opened to good reviews from critics. However, the film seems to have divided the masses. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Dobaaraa was released in cinemas on Friday, August 19. Taapsee is being lauded for her performance in the film. But it looks like the film has failed to generate curiosity among the audience. Reportedly, Dobaaraa has registered only a 2-3 per cent occupancy in theatres on Day 1. Several early shows of the film has also reportedly been cancelled.

DOBAARAA REGISTERES LOW OCCUPANCY, SHOWS CANCELLED

Sumit Kadel, a film trade analyst, took to Twitter to reveal that Dobaaraa's shows are getting cancelled. "#Dobaaraa is off to a DISASTROUS start at the box office, film is registering merely 2-3% occupancy while many early shows are getting canceled due to NO AUDIENCE..(sic)," he tweeted.

Predicting the fate of Dobaaraa at the box office, Kadel also shared that the film might collect only Rs 20-35 lakh on its opening day. And in his opinion, the lifetime collection of the film might be between Rs 1.25 to 1.50 crore. "BOX OFFICE PREDICTION #Dobaaraa - Opening day- 20 -35 lakh Lifetime - 1.25- 1.50 cr (sic)," his tweet read.

TAAPSEE, ANURAG ON CANCEL CULTURE

Prior to the film's release, Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap had commented on the cancel culture and boycott calls for Hindi films. Cheekily responding to a question about the boycott trend prevalent in Bollywood, Taapsee told IndiaToday.in, "Please everyone boycott our film, Dobaaraa. I want to be in the same league as Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan. I feel left out."

Adding to the same, Anurag stated, "Yes please, I want our film to trend on the boycott hashtag as well." The duo further asked, "I want to know if those people who call for a boycott are the ones who even watch films in theatres?"

Dobaaraa is the official remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Mirage.
