The all-Indian film Kabzaa, starring
upendra and Sudeep, debuted this week to appalling
box office results and negative reviews. The pan-Indian
movie, which also featured Shriya and Shivarajkumar in pivotal parts, failed to have any
success at the box office. The sequel was announced far in advance, and the Kabzaa team had planned a KGF-like motif. The plot writers even included enough room for a sequel in the film, but the
audience wasn't particularly engaged. And the
movie is now on its way to a major catastrophe.
The
movie made about 20Cr in its first two days of release, and the collections from other languages are insignificant. Despite having a large budget and a star-studded cast, the film was unable to get audiences to the theatres. It appears that the second part will be shelved due to the first portion's exceedingly bad reception. As we saw with Baahubali, KGF, and Pushpa, a successful part 1 is crucial for a pan-India production with a sizable budget. Yet with Kabzaa failing to pique anyone's curiosity, the sequel wouldn't find many fans.
The team is upset with the disastrous result and the makers are worried if they can literally get back the investments at least from the movie.
