Entertainment
Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh started strong but has lost steam, pulling in just ₹12 lakh on its 16th day.
Directed by Harish Shankar and featuring Sreeleela, Raashi Khanna, R Parthiban, and Nawab Shah, the film's India net total is now ₹71.53 crore.
Critics fault 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' writing
The story follows Bhagat Singh's fight against injustice with Kalyan in top form, but critics say the writing feels tired and packed with cliches.
While some fans enjoyed the hero moments, the movie's focus on star power over fresh storytelling hasn't clicked with a wider crowd, leading to its big dip at the box office.
