During the Dussehra and Vijaya Dashami celebrations, the Indian film industry released several films. In Bollywood, Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra' and Rajkummar Rao-Triptii Dimri's 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' were notable releases. Meanwhile, in the Bengali film sector, 'Bohurupi' emerged as a standout success. This regional film outperformed its Bollywood counterparts at the box office.

As per Sacnilk reports, 'Bohurupi' has amassed approximately Rs 5.74 crores in 11 days. The film was produced on a budget of Rs 4 crores. Here is a breakdown of its daily earnings:

The Abir-Shiboprasad starrer has already recouped its production costs within two weeks of release. In contrast, Bollywood films like 'Jigra' and 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' are struggling to meet their budget expectations.
'Bohurupi' has managed to fill theatres while larger Bollywood productions with top stars have not attracted as many viewers. This success highlights the film's appeal and effective storytelling that resonates with audiences.
The remarkable performance of 'Bohurupi' underscores the potential for regional films to compete successfully against major Bollywood releases when they connect well with viewers.
