'Sarfira' Bollywood Movie Fails To Draw Audiences, Theaters Offer Free Chai And Samosas

No one showed up for the Bollywood movie "Sarfira," prompting theaters to offer free chai and samosas to attract viewers. The film industry has seen a decline in success rates post-COVID-19, even for star-studded films.

Despite Akshay Kumar's consistent releases over the past three years, all have flopped—whether experimenting with new stories, making commercial or sentimental films, none have worked.

Even the budget for his latest, "Sarfira," hasn't been recouped; it's a Hindi remake of the Telugu hit "Akashame Nee Haddura." While the original thrived on OTT, "Sarfira" has garnered just 10 crore rupees so far, a disappointing figure for a star-driven film.

PVR multiplexes in Bollywood are now offering free chai, two samosas, and a coupon with each ticket, trying desperately to draw audiences. Critics are lamenting that even with freebies, the film struggles to attract viewers.
