Coronavirus hits Baaghi 3, but It’s Still Unstoppable

The Carona virus is  brutal. But  the Baaghi 3 bug is even more powerful. In spite of  the  contagion threat Baaghi 3 opened to a staggering Rs 17  crores in India , making it the  biggest opener  of  2020 so far.

Director Ahmed  Khan breathes a  sigh of relief.  “We were really scared  about what Caronavirus  would do  to our film. But we’ve managed to  generate  numbers  equal to Baaghi and Baaghi 2 during these times when  people are inclined  to stay away  from  crowded places.”

Ahmed admits the film is hard hit in the high-end malls of  Mumbai and Delhi.  “We visited some  of  these and  the malls look like ghost towns. It is really frightening. To our good fortune the collections in single theatres and  low-end multiplexes is stupendous.A place like Patna is  gone  crazy  over Tiger’s stunts.”

Baaghi 3 did a business  of 17 crores on the  first day and   15 crores on  the second day.

 Says Ahmed,  “If  the collection  are sustained  then we  have  nothing to worry  about.  Our big threat now  is Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi which  opens in two weeks. That will  really affect  the business  of  our film.”
