Pankaj Tripathi’s latest film, Ohh My Dog, has recorded a modest opening at the Indian box office. The film, centred on fur babies, is directed by Amit Rai and cheekily flips the title of his previous film, Oh My God 2, which also starred Tripathi. Released on August 7, Ohh My Dog has been receiving glowing reviews on social media despite securing fewer screens in theatres.
Ohh My Dog Box Office Collection Day 1According to Sacnilk, the film collected approximately Rs 85 lakh in net earnings on Day 1, with the total India gross collection standing at around Rs 1.02 crore.The film registered these numbers across 844 shows on its opening day. While the first-day response has been relatively moderate, the opening provides the film with a starting point as it heads into the crucial weekend.
Ohh My Dog Budget
With an estimated budget reportedly ranging between Rs 8 and 25 crore, Ohh My Dog will need sustained theatrical business to make a significant impact at the box office. Its performance over the weekend could therefore play a key role in deciding its overall theatrical prospects.Considering the reported budget, an opening-day net collection of Rs 85 lakh can be described as modest rather than strong. Pankaj Tripathi’s presence could work in the film’s favour, as his strong audience connect may encourage viewers to give the movie a chance. The film’s focus on fur babies could also attract animal lovers and family audiences to theatres. The Day 2 and weekend figures will provide a clearer indication of whether the film can maintain or improve upon its opening-day performance.
Ohh My Dog ReviewThe Free Press Journal reviewer gave Ohh My Dog 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, “Ohh My Dog had the potential to be a fantastic film, but a weak first half is the villain here. However, you can still watch it once because Rai has attempted something different. Also, if you are a dog lover, you will love this film.”
