Kajal Aggarwal’s New Movie ‘The India Story’ Is Having a Really Hard Time
- The shocking Day 2 box office numbers.
- The serious topic the film tries to tackle.
- Why the earthy aesthetic didn’t save it.
We just saw the Saturday numbers for Kajal Aggarwal’s new movie, The India Story. They are a bit shocking. Usually, Kajal is a huge draw for fans. This time? Not so much.
On its second day, the film earned only Rs 41 lakh. That is a tiny drop in the bucket. The movie cost around Rs 20 to 30 crore to make. Ouch. The math just isn’t adding up yet.
The story is quite heavy. It talks about how pesticides are used in farming. We noticed the visual style is very grounded. It has an earthy, dusty aesthetic that feels very real. It’s not your usual shiny film. Maybe people wanted more color while watching the बारिश outside.
Speaking of big moments, the Indian Idol 16 Finale is happening tonight! Everyone might be glued to their TVs instead. Sometimes a serious film gets lost in the noise. It happens to the best of them.
Even big stars have tough days. Remember how Tom Holland was super honest about his older movies? It takes guts to try something different. We still love seeing Kajal on screen, much like that classic vibe between Vijay and Revathy. But this weekend, the seats stayed empty.
Our Take
We think the topic of farming is very important. Pesticides affect us all. But the vibe of this movie feels a bit too heavy for a casual outing. People usually want to escape their worries at the cinema. We hope Shreyas Talpade and Kajal bounce back soon with something brighter!
