The much-anticipated film “Maidaan” is all set to hit the silver screen on April 11th, 2024, after a series of shifts and adjustments in its release schedule. Initially slated for release on April 10th, the makers have now finalized the 11th as the official release date. However, to treat fans and enthusiasts, there will be paid preview shows on the 10th of April, starting from 6 pm onwards.
The journey to finalize the release date hasn’t been without its share of confusion and adjustments. The buzz surrounding the film has been relatively low, a factor that has been mirrored in the advance booking numbers leading up to the release. Despite Thursday being a national holiday, which traditionally sees better advances for films, the numbers have remained subdued.
It seems likely that this trend will persist until the release day, with a potential uptick in bookings anticipated on Wednesday. The film’s success at this point hinges significantly on its content, with hopes pinned on the potential for robust spot bookings, a phenomenon often witnessed with major releases during festive periods like Eid.
Looking at the current advance booking scenario, “Maidaan” is recording a modest 0 to 5% occupancy across approximately 1,300-1,400 screens nationwide. Approximately 13,000 tickets have been sold thus far, with around 4,500 tickets sold through national chains. The industry is hopeful that the pace of advance bookings will pick up as the release date approaches, with expectations of increased interest and footfall from eager audiences.
