This Friday Vishwak Sen’s Mechanic Rocky, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva, and Zebra were released.
Unfortunately, all three failed to create any impact at the box office and opened to dismal numbers.

Even Mechanic Rocky, starring the minimum guarantee Vishwak Sen, couldn’t draw crowds to theaters and left both fans and the industry in shock.
Out of the three, Mechanic Rocky received comparatively better reviews, though still not great. However, those average reviews did not translate into box office success, and Vishwak Sen might be staring at a big disaster with this film.

Zebra was appreciated by some for its unique concept, but its tedious execution left audiences bewildered.
Devaki Nandana Vasudeva was a complete washout, with even morning shows being canceled in several locations.

Despite decent promotions, none of these films managed to generate minimum buzz among cine-goers.
Critics suggest that the timing of their release could have been a critical factor in their disastrous performance.
Many point out that audiences are still invested in Diwali blockbusters like Amaran and Lucky Baskhar.
Additionally, with the highly anticipated Pushpa 2 just two weeks away, the current box office climate seems unfavorable for other films. The audiences are in Pushpa 2 trance now and appear to be saving their time and money exclusively for Pushpa 2, showing little interest in other releases.
While this reasoning holds some truth, the total rejection of these films indicates they were dead on arrival. There was no significant interest among viewers—the promos, songs, trailers, and promotions failed to click.
With 13 days still left until Pushpa 2’s release, these films, if well-made, could have capitalized on this window to earn decent collections.
Unfortunately, the audience has grown increasingly intolerant of mediocre content, refusing to watch such films even on OTT, let alone pay for them in theaters.
