Kangana Ranaut defends herself after Dhaakad failure at the box office

Kangana Ranaut has shared a post that called her ‘box office queen of India’, after Dhaakad's poor performance at the box office. She has also dubbed 2022 as the year of blockbuster.

Actor Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram stories and shared an article that quotes her as the ‘box office queen of India’. This comes days after the release of her film Dhaakad, which failed at the box office. She wrote, “2019 I gave Manikarnika 160 cr ka superhit hit, 2020 was covid year. 2021 I gave the biggest film of my career Thalaivii which came on OTT and was a huge success.”

She further added, “I see a lot of negativity but 2020 is the year of blockbuster—lock up hosting. And it’s not over yet…I have great hopes with it.” Directed by Razneesh Ghai, Dhaakad opened up to a poor start at the box office with less than ₹1 crore on its first day. Later PTI’s trade sources suggested that the film was taken down by distributors due to" extremely low audience turnout".

Defending people who were previously seen ‘celebrating’ the failure of Kangana’s film, Richa Chadha had tweeted, “Aligning with power is easy and has obvious rewards like tax exemptions, awards, special status, security-even literally the Legislature promoting a film! So do you not know that the reverse also holds true Tehseen? People are expressing dissent in whatever way they can. So chill.” Her tweet was in response to Bigg Boss contestant Tehseen Poonawalla who had criticised people celebrating Dhaakad’s performance.
