Nepali film director Nischal Basnet has struck gold at the domestic box office with his latest creation, “Dimag Kharaab,” despite facing tough competition from the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Tiger 3.’ The film, which hit theaters on October 24, has garnered significant attention and proven to be a strong contender in the domestic film industry.

“Dimag Kharaab,” produced by Cinema Arts, has managed to secure a robust grip on the homegrown box office, even with the ongoing screening of ‘Tiger 3.’ The film’s opening, though facing initial challenges, has steadily gained momentum over the past three weeks.

The official collection report for the first two weeks of the film’s release boasts an impressive 7 crore rupees in earnings. Despite challenges in obtaining accurate box office reports from the Film Development Board since July, the producers maintain that the film has performed exceptionally well.

Entering its third week of release, “Dimag Kharaab” continues to secure prominent show slots in multiplexes, surpassing the expectations set by the much-anticipated ‘Tiger 3.’ The film’s popularity is evident not only in the number of screenings but also in its high occupancy rates.
