Is Brahmastra hit or flop? Explaining the economics of box office collections, budgets, and recovery

Hindustan Times  

Much has been said, written, tweeted, and discussed about the box office collections of Brahmastra Part One- Shiva. The film has, as per its own producers, earned ₹360 crore in gross box office collections worldwide. Trade analyst Atul Mohan explains, “The budget does play an important role in determining a film’s status at the box office. Other sources like Andhra Box Office and Kangana Ranaut’s social media posts claim the film’s budget is ₹650 crore. Add that to the box office collections and it means the producers will end up making a profit on the film in the end, even though it may not even be a hit.
