#Brahmastra wipes out over ₹800 crore wealth of PVR and Inox #investors

businessinsider.in/stock-market/n…

By @jainrounak
Forget making back money, it looks like Brahmastra is taking down PVR & Inox investors with itself. With early reviews pouring cold water on #Brahmastra’s prospects, India’s largest theater chains PVR & Inox have cumulatively lost over ₹800 crore in market capitalization today.
In Indian mythology, #Brahmastra is known as a weapon of unstoppable destruction, which can only be stopped by its counterattack astra (weapon). Ironically, the movie could end up being a victim of the weapon it is named after.
Brahmastra opened to tepid reviews despite healthy advance bookings worth ₹23 crore. Movie reviewer and analyst @taran_adarsh gave the Ranbir-Alia starrer a two-star rating, saying that the movie is a king-sized disappointment.

#Brahmastra
If #Brahmastra tanks, it could not only be one of the biggest #Bollywood flops, but it could also derail the Hindi movie industry’s hopes of a revival at a time when several South Indian movies have broken records nationwide.
Made on a budget of ₹410 crore, #Brahmastra has names like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and even #ShahRukhKhan, with Karan Johar as one of the producers. Essentially, this is the who’s who of the Indian film industry, packed with immense firepower.
However, analysts suggest #Brahmastra might end up generating less than half of the money poured into making the movie.

“The lifetime box office for the film is estimated to be in a wide range of ₹130-200 crore, based on the strong advances,” says a media note by @elaracapital.
While expert reviews and commentary on social media might influence #Brahmastra’s collections over the weekend, word of mouth will decide the movie’s fate eventually.

However, it looks like the first round of disappointed viewers are spreading the bad word out.

Britain's longest-reigning monarch #QueenElizabethII died on Thursday at England’s Balmoral at the age of 96.

#QueenElizabeth
The late #QueenElizabethII has visited India three times – in 1961, 1983 and 1997, each time accompanied by her husband and Duke of Edinburgh, the late Prince Philip. Her first visit came nearly 15 years after India's independence.

#KingCharlesIII takes over as the British monarch after the death of #QueenElizabethII, and that will lead to a demonetisation in the UK. New coins and currency notes will be minted and printed after the designs are approved.

#QueenElizabeth
The death of #QueenElizabethII has given the British monarchy its first King after over 70 years. The old coins and notes will be slowly phased out of circulation.

The old coins and notes featuring #QueenElizabeth II will continue to be legal tender for the time being.
