The new release An Action Hero recorded very dull collections of around 5%. The collections coming in from aroudn the country in morning shows are lower than Anek but if the film can pick up it can reach or surpass that film by the end of the day as when collections are so low it does not need much of a pick up. But the question is can it even pick up that much to get to the Anek number as the film itself looked very weak from the trailer and very spoofy type,

Actually poor is an understatement as the film is an actual embarasment for an action film which it is being called. The trailer is devoid of any emotion which is a must for any action film and this seems an attempt at some sort of new concept action film while the audience for action films probably prefers the more regular traditional concept.

The trend of action films in India came in 1971 with Mera Gaon Mera Desh which bought the genre into the forefront with its historic box office success as before that its was seen as a more of a stunt genre and there has been no looking back for the genre since then. This film An Action Hero may well be the lowest point for this genre since the genre came to the forefront.

Drishyam 2 is a one horse race and the collections on its third Friday are looking to be more than the new release An Action Hero and the holdover release Bhediya combined. The film continues to run riot in Mumbai circuit and its just a matter of time when it becomes the top original Hindi grosser here for 2022.
