Two major Bollywood releases, 120 Bahadur starring Farhan Akhtar and the franchise film Mastiii 4, faced catastrophic box office failures, collectively managing only ₹24.25 crore net in their disastrous opening week. Both films struggled to attract audiences despite star power and established franchises, marking one of the most disappointing weekends in recent Bollywood history.

Opening Week Box Office Performance

Film	Week 1 Collection	Budget Status	Expected Lifetime
120 Bahadur	₹13.45 crore	Major Loss	₹15-17 crore
Mastiii 4	₹10.80 crore	Disaster	₹12-13 crore
Combined Total	₹24.25 crore	Catastrophic	₹27-30 crore

120 Bahadur: Farhan Akhtar’s Military Drama Fails to Connect

Directed by Razneesh Razy Ghai, this military drama telling the heroic story of 120 soldiers couldn’t find its audience despite positive subject matter. The film’s day-wise trajectory shows a concerning pattern:

Day-Wise Collections – 120 Bahadur

Day	Collection	Trend
Preview	₹0.10 cr	Limited interest
Friday	₹2.00 cr	Weak opening
Saturday	₹3.50 cr	Slight growth
Sunday	₹3.50 cr	Flat weekend
Monday	₹1.25 cr	64% drop
Tuesday	₹1.25 cr	Stable
Wednesday	₹1.00 cr	Declining
Thursday	₹0.85 cr	New low

The film opened with just ₹2 crore and peaked at ₹3.50 crore on Saturday-Sunday before collapsing on weekdays. Thursday’s ₹85 lakh marked its lowest single-day collection, representing a 20% drop from Wednesday. With Tere Ishk Mein (starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon) releasing Friday, 120 Bahadur faces screen cuts that will likely end its theatrical run around ₹15-17 crore—a disastrous result for a star-driven war drama.

Mastiii 4: Franchise Fatigue Hits Hard

The fourth installment in the adult comedy franchise starring Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani failed to capitalize on franchise goodwill. Directed by Milan Milap Zaveri, the film neither attracted strong openings nor sustained audience interest.

Day-Wise Collections – Mastiii 4

Day	Collection	Trend
Friday	₹2.25 cr	Poor start
Saturday	₹2.25 cr	Flat
Sunday	₹2.50 cr	Marginal growth
Monday	₹1.15 cr	54% crash
Tuesday	₹1.25 cr	Slight recovery
Wednesday	₹0.80 cr	Declining
Thursday	₹0.60 cr	Critical low

The franchise film barely crossed ₹10 crore in week one, projected to finish around ₹12-13 crore lifetime—an absolutely disastrous outcome for an established franchise with recognized stars.

Why Did Both Films Fail?

Several factors contributed to this double disaster:

1. Weak Marketing: Neither film generated pre-release buzz or excitement
2. Poor Word-of-Mouth: Audiences rejected both films after early shows
3. Competition Concerns: Upcoming releases like Tere Ishk Mein grabbed attention
4. Content Issues: Neither film delivered compelling reasons to visit theaters
5. Franchise Fatigue: Mastiii 4 couldn’t leverage its brand value

The combined failure highlights Bollywood’s ongoing struggle with theatrical releases, where only exceptional content survives. Both films will likely disappear from theaters within two weeks, suffering significant financial losses.
