Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh’s Marathi film Ved in just one week beats the lifetime collection of many Bollywood biggies released in 2022

MUMBAI: 2022 was not a good year for Bollywood. Many biggies failed to make a mark at the box office, and some were total disasters. Even Cirkus, which was expected to do well, turned out to be one of the disasters of 2022. 

The year ended with the release of Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh’s Marathi film Ved. The buzz about the movie in Maharashtra was quite good, and it was expected that the movie might do well at the box office. 

Ved took a good start at the box office, but the positive word of mouth worked in the favor of the film, and the movie kept on doing amazing business on weekdays as well. In just one week, the Marathi movie has collected Rs. 20.67 crore which is quite good. According to Wikipedia, the budget of the movie is Rs. 15 crores.
