‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ Struggles at Box Office, Harish Shankar Says “We Can’t Win Every Friday”
Ustaad Bhagat Singh has reportedly underperformed at the box office, falling short of expectations despite the initial buzz surrounding the film. The collections have been impacted significantly, especially due to strong competition from other major releases.
Director Harish Shankar addressed the situation, stating that not every film can be a blockbuster. He acknowledged that the film did not perform as expected and admitted that box office outcomes can be unpredictable.
He also pointed out that clashing with a “monster” film like Dhurandhar played a major role in affecting the film’s performance. The intense competition limited screen availability and audience reach, making it difficult for the film to gain momentum.
Despite the setback, Harish Shankar remained positive, emphasizing that failures are part of the industry. He concluded by saying that every Friday brings a new challenge, and filmmakers must accept both success and disappointment with equal spirit.
