The Opening Weekend Numbers Are In
Karan Deol’s much-anticipated film Obsession has finally hit the screens, but the initial box office reports aren’t exactly setting the cash registers ringing. Industry sources suggest the movie opened to a modest collection, struggling to find its footing amidst stiff competition from other releases.
Trade analysts are keeping a close watch on the film’s performance, especially given the buzz around its intriguing premise and Karan’s previous outing. The opening day numbers paint a picture of cautious audiences, with many waiting for word-of-mouth before heading to the theaters.
What’s Working And What’s Not
Insiders reveal that the film’s marketing campaign had generated decent curiosity, but the actual footfall has been lower than expected. A source close to the production shared, ‘The team is hopeful for a turnaround over the weekend, but the initial response has been lukewarm.’
Critics have pointed out that while the performances are solid, the script lacks the punch needed to pull crowds. Social media chatter, however, shows a mixed bag—some fans are praising Karan’s growth as an actor, while others feel the story needed more edge.
What’s Next For Obsession?
With the first weekend wrapping up, all eyes are now on how the film performs on weekdays. Reports suggest that if the movie can hold steady, it might still recover its costs, but a blockbuster status seems unlikely at this point.
Karan Deol, who made his debut with Pal Pal Dil Ke Ssaat, has been working hard to carve his niche in Bollywood. While Obsession may not be a runaway hit, it’s definitely a step forward in his journey. Fans are already speculating about his next project, and the grapevine is buzzing with rumors of a high-profile collaboration.
