<p>Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Raj’s ‘Shamshera’ miserably bombed at the box-office and has been dubbed as a bad film by the audience and critics. Though the film marked Ranbir’s comeback to the silver screen&nbsp;after four years, it could only manage to stand at Rs 36 crore during its first weekend. As the film continues to get disastrous reviews and shows get cancelled, now the film’s director, Karan Malhotra, has penned a lengthy note on Instagram, saying he "could not handle the hate and rage" that came his way in the last few days.</p>

<p>Sharing a heartfelt note on social media, Karan wrote, "My Dearest Shamshera, you are majestic the way you are. It is important for me to express myself on this platform because here is where all the love, the hate, the celebration and the humiliation exists for you. I want to unimaginably apologise to you for abandoning you for these past few days as I could not handle the hate and rage."</p>

<p>"My withdrawal was my weakness and there are no excuses for it. But now I am here, standing beside you hand in hand feeling proud and honoured that you are mine. Will face every thing together, the good the bad and the ugly. And a huge shout out to the Shamshera family, the cast and crew of Shamshera. The love, the blessings and the concern that has been showered upon us are the most precious and nobody can take that away from us. #Shamsheraismine #Shamshera," he concluded the note.&nbsp;</p>

‘Shamshera’ director Karan Malhotra pens note after film's failure, says ‘couldn't handle the hate’

<p>Ranbir Kapoor-starrer big-budgeted movie 'Shamshera' has performed poorly at the box office. The film, backed by Yash Raj Films, has been receiving grave reviews and backlash from the audience, and thus, has been declared a flop. A day after ‘Shamshera’ director Karan Malhotra defended his film, on Thursday, actor Sanjay Dutt, who plays an antagonist in the film, came out in support of the film and its director. Dutt penned a long note targeting all the hate and spite the film has received since its release.</p>

<p><strong>Sanjay Dutt stands with ‘Shamshera’</strong></p>

<p>Sanjay Dutt resorted to his Instagram account to address the critical reception ‘Shameshra’ has received. He stated that the film would eventually find its target audience. In tune with Karan Malhotra’s post, Dutt captioned his long reflective post, "Shamshera is ours!" The actor also defended Ranbir Kapoor in his post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Films are acts of passion - passion to tell a story, to bring to life characters you've never met before. Shamshera is one such labour of love to which we gave our all. It's a movie made up of blood, sweat and tears. It's a dream that we brought on screen. Movies are made for audiences to relish. And every movie finds its viewers, sooner or later (sic)," Sanjay’s post read.</p>

<p>Bollywood's heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, who began his career with the 2007 film 'Saawariya' as a lead actor, returned to the big screens with Karan Malhotra's directorial 'Shamshera' after taking a break of nearly four years. The film released across theatres on Friday and as per early reports, the film is not doing so well at the BO.</p>

<p>Box Office India reported that the film "saw a low opening day of around 10 crore nett in Hindi". The report further stated that the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer could not make any momentum throughout the day and the numbers turned out to be quite disappointing by the end of the day.</p>

<p>Being the second widest release post-pandemic with over 4000 screens in Hindi and a grand opening, expectations were much higher for the film. It needed to reach 20 crore nett plus on Sunday however, this seems pretty tough to achieve now, unless the Ranbir fans flock to theatres in bulk to support the star's comeback to silver screens after 2018's 'Sanju'.</p>

<p>The film 'Shamshera' was made on a massive budget of approximately 150 crores. Ranbir is playing a double role in the film. Vaani Kapoor is playing the female lead, opposite Ranbir, in the movie.</p>
