Kangana Ranaut defends ‘Dhaakad’ poor performance at the box-office, calls 2022 ‘blockbuster’

New Delhi: Actress Kangana Ranaut’s latest release ‘Dhaakad’ has been a box-office disaster. The action-thriller hit cinema halls on May 20th along with Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. While the latter is inching close to Rs 150 crore collection, ‘Dhaakad’s’ performance was so dismal that due to low audience turn out the theatres had to pull down the film. However, Kangana is unfazed with these developments and has termed 2022 as a ‘blockbuster’ year. 

Kangana took to Instagram Stories to share a screenshot of an article that called her “the box office queen of India.” Along with it, the ‘Queen’ actress wrote, “2019 I gave Manikarnika 160 cr ka superhit hit, 2020 was covid year. 2021 I gave the biggest film of my career Thalaivii which came on OTT and was a huge success.”
