The box office collection of Yudhra, directed by Ravi Udyawar and starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Malavika Mohanan, Raghav Juyal, and Ram Kapoor, dropped massively on its second day. The action film fell flat on Saturday after an impressive opening day, courtesy of National Cinema Day.
Bankrolled by Excel Entertainment, the much-delayed action movie Yudhra finally released this weekend. The Ravi Udyawar-directed film opened with a decent Rs 4.25 crore net at the Indian box office, thanks to subsidized ticket prices on the occasion of National Cinema Day, where ticket fares were deducted to Rs 99 nationwide.
Yudhra faced a major dent because of the blockbuster wave of Stree 2, which is still doing phenomenal business. The action movie couldn’t match with the 6th weekend collection of Shraddha Kapoor starrer and sealed itself a sorry fate.
The action drama faced a major drop of 55% and could collect Rs 2 crore net on its second day, which is again lower than Stree 2‘s collection of 37th day. The two-day total cume of Yudhra has reached Rs 6.25 crore net in India.
The Siddhant Chaturvedi film met with mixed to negative word of mouth, which has almost locked its fate. Although the makers have already cracked a good non-theatrical deal by selling its music and digital rights, that should recover its production cost. But that is not going to change its verdict in any way.
To attain a favorable verdict, the movie has to pick up on the third day, i.e., Sunday, and then hold steady during the weekdays to earn a respectable total of around Rs 50 crore by the end of its theatrical run in India. However, it seems a little difficult since the movie will face a tough competitor in the name of Devara from September 27.

The Hulu documentary Child Star by Demi Lovato has been dropped on the streaming platform and the first guest on the show was That’s So Raven star, Raven Symone.
The duo has a long, heartfelt conversation about their childhood, struggles in the industry and their professional lives, while Lovato also recalls Symone’s first reaction to the former, forgetting that the duo had worked together before.
In one segment of the episode, the actress-singer shared, “When we first got on the phone to talk about this project, I was like, ‘I watched you on That’s So Raven, such an inspiration.’”
She further said to The Little Rascals star, “You were like, ‘Bitch, I was on your show!’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, she was.’” Lovato and Symone worked together on a Disney show Sonny with a Chance, wherein the Confident crooner was cast as a regular, and the latter had appeared for one episode in 2010.
As for the Hulu series, Child Star marks the directorial debut of Lovato. The show will bring in celebrities from the industry as they discuss the details of their childhood, wherein they faced the wrath of Hollywood in their younger days.

In the first episode, the Let It Go singer shared, “I was a teenager, and I was just exhausted.” She further added, “I was being worked into the ground. We were all just kind of flapping around, figuring out how to swim.”
Meanwhile, talking about forgetting her working with The Cosby Show star, Lovato explained, “It was part of my disassociation that I don’t even remember so much of my show that I was on.” She went on to further state, “But I do remember how difficult I was to work with because I was in so much pain, and I was hurting.”
Symone also reverted with an understanding response, claiming, “I mean, you weren’t the nicest person. You weren’t like, ‘Welcome!’ You weren’t doing that. But being the type of person I am and that I’ve been in the industry for as long as you, and I understand the glaze over the eyes, I didn’t hold it against you. I just was like, ‘Something’s going on there.’”
Meanwhile, new episodes of Child Star are available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.
