The box office remains bustling this June with several Hindi films making their debut. Among the new releases are Main Vaapas Aaunga, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Governor, and Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past. These films are produced by reputable names in the industry. Surprisingly, Vikram Bhatt’s horror film has taken the lead at the box office, despite having minimal marketing and receiving unfavorable reviews.

Despite receiving negative reviews, the audience still flocked to theaters for a thrilling experience.

Hollywood Releases Compete for Attention

In addition to Hindi films, audiences also had the option to watch Hollywood releases like Disclosure Day and Backroom, which have generated buzz in Indian markets. All films released this week will need strong word-of-mouth to maintain momentum, especially with Cocktail 2 set to release next week.
