Hyderabad: The eagerly anticipated family drama Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, starring superstar Salman Khan, is all set to hit theatres on April 21. KBKJ, helmed by Farhad Samji, is a film with high expectations and will serve as a barometer for Salman's stardom. The movie's official advance booking began yesterday, and the feedback so far has been favourable.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-sales haven't been great for the majority of Bollywood films, but the Salman Khan multi-starrer tells a different tale. Despite the advance booking being open for only 24 hours, 35K tickets were sold on the first day, bringing the pre-gross bookings close to 1 crore. So far, approximately 15,000 tickets have been sold across the three national chains, which are PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis.
The good news for the film is that it displayed a better advance booking trend in B centres without multiplexes, which has always been Salman's strong suit. The film is on track to generate decent to good pre-sales and rank among the best this year. With two days remaining for the release of the film, the pre-booking of tickets is at its peak.
Given that the film is releasing around Eid, the opening day box office is likely to be in the range of 18 crores. In the pre-covid era, Dabangg 3- Salman's most recent full-fledged theatrical release, debuted at 23 crores net. Zee Studios and Salman Khan Films are jointly producing Kisi ka Bhai Kisi ki Jaan, which was earlier titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.
Along with Bhumika Chawla, Shehnaaz Gill, Jassie Gill, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Vijender Singh, and Palak Tiwari in supporting roles, it also features Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde, and Jagapathi Babu in prominent roles.
