The biopic 'Michael,' directed by Antoine Fuqua, has been a topic of discussion since its release in Indian theaters last Friday. Despite mixed critical reviews, it has garnered a positive audience response, grossing ₹22.09 crore (approximately $2.65 million USD) in its first four days. The film collected ₹1.94 crore on Monday, marking its lowest single-day earnings. It had a strong opening weekend, peaking at ₹5.85 crore on Sunday. Competing against Bollywood films like 'Bhooth Bangla' and 'Dhurandhar 2,' 'Michael' has managed to maintain steady box office performance. The film explores Michael Jackson's rise to fame in the 1970s and his struggles, including a life-threatening incident before the 1984 Victory Tour. Additionally, a lawsuit has emerged against Jackson's estate, alleging past sexual abuse, which the estate has dismissed as a money grab. The film's reception and surrounding controversies continue to unfold as it heads into its second weekend.
