4. Nil Battey Sannata – 2015

March 2022 Box Office Monthly Report : Business Bounces Back For Movie Industry

Directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, Nil Battey Sannata was a sparkling film in every context. Right from the beginning of the film, you will be completely engrossed into the beautiful tale of mother and her struggle to keep her dreams alive. Blended with sarcasm and light moments, the film was a powerful drama which will help you sail it through 2 hours without getting bored. Told in a subtle manner, it was the simplicity of narration which was the highlight of the film and you will cherish each and every frame. There were no glossy sets, colorful costumes over-the-tone melodrama yet the film was entertaining and will keep you glued throughout. The screenplay was pivotal which defined each and every characters to the core. Swara Bhaskar stole the thunder with her electrifying performance. Surprisingly, this was her first film as a lead and she has displayed matured acting. Pankaj Tripathi was simply superb as the Hindi teacher will bring down the house with his comic act.

Unfortunately, Nil Battey Sannata collected a mere Rs 5.62 crore against a budget of Rs 7.50 crore at the ticket window.
