The
unfortunate
spike
in
the
COVID-19
cases
lately
in
the
country
has
put
the
recently
released
films
in
a
soup
when
it
comes
to
their
fate
at
the
box
office.
The
newly
released
movies
namely
Flight
and
Koi
Jaane
Na
have
been
struggling
to
get
a
suitable
opening
at
the
box
office.
It
seems
that
the
new
restrictions
which
have
been
imposed
in
the
state
of
Maharashtra
may
further
take
matters
downhill
for
the
two
films.
Talking
about
the
film
Koi
Jaane
Na,
the
movie
is
written
and
directed
by
Amin
Hajee.
The
film
stars
Kunal
Kapoor
and
Amyra
Dastur
in
the
lead
roles
and
was
released
at
the
box
office
amidst
a
less
promotional
buzz.
The
only
thing
that
managed
to
garner
attention
from
the
film
is
the
track
'Har
Funn
Maula'
featuring
megastar
Aamir
Khan
and
Eli
AvrRam.
However,
apart
from
that,
the
film
has
been
struggling
at
the
box
office
right
since
its
release.
Talking
about
the
movie
Flight,
the
film
is
helmed
by
Suraj
Joshi
and
stars
Mohit
Chadda
in
the
lead
roles.
The
trailer
of
the
film
had
garnered
some
considerable
buzz
due
to
the
movie
being
an
intense
and
gritty
survivalist
drama.
The
movie
has
also
managed
to
impress
some
critics
with
its
VFX
and
cinematography
with
the
majority
of
its
portions
shot
inside
a
plane.
However,
this
has
still
not
managed
to
better
the
movie's
fate
at
the
box
office.
It
has
been
struggling
to
stay
afloat
at
the
box
office
ever
since
its
release.
According
to
the
distribution
and
production
sources,
the
combined
first-day
collections
of
the
Mohit
Chadda
starrer
Flight
and
Kunal
Kapoor
starrer
Koi
Jaane
Na
is
less
than
Rs
50
lakh.
Even
though
Flight
is
expected
to
fare
a
little
better
at
the
box
office
over
the
week
owing
to
the
positive
reviews
and
word-of-mouth.
However,
the
final
box
office
numbers
of
the
two
movies
from
its
opening
are
yet
to
be
out.
It
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
things
take
a
turn
for
the
better
for
Flight
and
Koi
Jaane
Na
at
the
box
office
over
the
coming
weeks.
