‘Bhediya’ to be removed from cinemas over poor box office run

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan’s latest film “Bhediya” is all set to be removed from cinemas due to its lacklustre box office collection. 

Indian news agency IndiaToday reported that the horror comedy film, which was made at a budget of INR 60 crore, collected just INR 1.25 crore on the 13th day of its release. Its total box office collection is INR 56.1 crore.

The producers would be hoping that the ticket sales increase. However, it seems unlikely as the project was criticized for its visuals and is facing tough competition from “Drishyam 2“.
