Badla VS Captain Marvel: Brie Larson’s Superhero Film Gets a Wider Release than Taapsee Pannu-Amitabh Bachchan’s Thriller in India
What do you think will be the result of this Badla and Captain Marvel clash at the box office.
On multiple occasions, Bollywood has shied away from goings heads on with Hollywood releases, especially superhero movies by Marvel Studios. Though this Friday a big Bollywood movie will go against a bigger Hollywood movie. Tapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan starrer thriller Badla VS Brie Larson's superhero film, Captain Marvel is the talk of the town right now. The movies will open in India tomorrow. As per reports, Badla is getting a limited release as compared to Captain Marvel. Bollywood Hungama reports that Badla is only releasing 700-750 screens. That is shocking given the fact that it stars two well-known names in Bollywood, Taapsee and Amitabh and that the movie has been produced by Shah Rukh Khan.

Badla has been directed by Sujoy Ghosh, who has helmed a masterpiece like Kahaani in the past. Then why the production went for a release limited to less than 750 screens is a mystery. Captain Marvel Movie Review: Brie Larson Nails Her Superhero Outing and Gives You NO Reason to Complain.
Adds trade analyst Atul Mohan spoke to Bollywood Hungama and gave his two cents. He said, “This week should be exciting. First big release from Hollywood of 2019 and a whodunit thriller from Red Chillies. Badla may not be looking for as wide a release The budget of this one is controlled one and should reap good profits for the makers. Captain Marvel is looking to score well, and as I said this is the first big title from Hollywood this year. And last year Hollywood made around Rs. 900 crores from the Indian box office.”
Taapsee has, too, commented on the situation. She said, "I am a huge fan of Avengers and Marvel films. But I have no impression of Captain Marvel as an audience so that’s why it’s not as bothersome as Avengers or any other established super-hero will be.”
What do you think will be the result of this clash at the box office? Do you think Badla will be able to overpower Captain Marvel with the limited released? We are hopeful that it does. It will change the scene in India.
