Which film is racing ahead of others? According to media reports, on the Shasthi, most people came to watch Dawshom Awbotaar. Fifty-seven shows were almost full and two of them were housefull. Twenty-three of Bagha Jatin’s shows were almost full and one was housefull. Twenty-six Raktabeej shows were almost full. Mitin Mashi is trailing. Only 8 shows were almost full and only one was housefull. 

Dev’s films are always a craze among the audience. He presented two consecutive hits, Tonic and Projapati, in the post-Covid period. However, Byomkesh O Durga Rohosyo did moderate business at the box office. Srijit's Baishe Srabon and Dwitiyo Purush were instant hits. Hence there was a craze regarding Dawshom Awbotaar.

On the other hand, Shiboprosad-Nandita's films are always a hit. Raktabeej is their first thriller and the viewers are loving it. Only Mitin Mashi has been suffering at the box office.
