Even Monday Couldn’t Act as a Speed ​​Breaker for Michael’s Momentum! MJ’s Biopic Is Winning Over Indian Audiences

New Delhi: Michael Jackson’s biopic, Michael, is being warmly received by the Indian public. Michael began drawing audiences into theaters right from the paid previews held on Thursday. Released on limited screens on Friday, the biopic kicked off its run at the Indian box office with a spectacular opening. With explosive earnings over the weekend, Michael demonstrated just how intense the craze for the ‘King of Pop’ remains among Indian audiences.

The latest proof of this craze is the fact that even Monday—a day that typically causes a slowdown for major films—failed to have any significant adverse effect on this movie. Despite a slight reduction in the number of shows on Monday, Michael maintained a strong hold at the box office.
