Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past continued its impressive box office run on its first Tuesday, collecting an estimated Rs. 1.75 crore nett. The film registered a healthy 15 percent jump over its Monday earnings, taking its five-day total to Rs. 12.10 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, the horror drama has exceeded expectations and emerged as a successful venture. Featuring Mimoh Chakraborty, Chetna Pande, Gaurav Bajpai, Praneet Bhatt, Mannveer Choudhary, and others, the film is now on course to finish its opening week with collections close to Rs. 15 crore nett, a strong result considering its budget and cast scale.
The success of the film is particularly noteworthy given the perception that this style of horror had lost its appeal in recent years. While Vikram Bhatt delivered several successful horror titles in the past, including the popular Raaz franchise and the original Haunted 3D in 2011, many films from the genre struggled to attract audiences over the last decade.
However, the performance of Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past indicates that there is still a market for supernatural horror when packaged effectively. Industry observers believe that stronger production values could have potentially pushed the film to even higher box office numbers.
With a solid first week almost guaranteed, attention will now shift to how well the film sustains its momentum during the second weekend and beyond.
