The Abhishek Bachchan starrer I Want To Talk has unfortunately turned out to be a significant box office disaster since its release on November 22, 2024. Despite receiving critical acclaim for its storytelling and performances, the film has struggled to attract audiences, leading to disappointing earnings.
I Want To Talk Box Office Collection Day 7
On its seventh day in theaters, I Want To Talk recorded its lowest earnings since the release, bringing in just ₹1 lakh. This follows an already weak opening of ₹25 lakhs. The film did see a slight increase in collections during its second and third days, earning ₹55 lakhs and ₹50 lakhs, respectively. However, after this brief spike, the collections have plummeted, resulting in a total of only ₹1.87 crore so far. It is yet to cross the ₹2 crore mark and may finish below that figure.
Daily Earnings Breakdown
- Day 1: ₹25 lakhs
- Day 2: ₹55 lakhs
- Day 3: ₹50 lakhs
- Day 4: ₹15 lakhs
- Day 5: ₹15 lakhs
- Day 6: ₹1 lakh (estimated)
- Day 7: ₹1 lakh (estimated)
Reasons for Poor Performance
Several factors have contributed to the film’s underwhelming performance:
- Niche Audience Appeal: The film caters to a specific demographic, which may have limited its reach among general audiences. Many believe it would have performed better as an OTT release rather than in theaters.
- Limited Marketing Efforts: The promotional campaign for the film was not extensive enough to generate significant buzz, leaving many potential viewers unaware of its release.
- Competition from Other Releases: The film faced tough competition from other major releases during its opening week, which likely diverted audience attention.
Future Prospects
Given its poor box office performance, there are expectations that I Want To Talk will soon be released on an OTT platform, where it might find a more receptive audience. The film’s critical acclaim for Abhishek Bachchan’s performance could resonate better with viewers in the digital space.
Conclusion
In summary, I Want To Talk has emerged as one of Abhishek Bachchan’s poorest-performing films at the box office. With total earnings still below ₹2 crores after a week in theaters, it remains to be seen how the film will perform once it transitions to streaming platforms.
