After collecting Rs. 7.73 crores on its second Saturday, the film had a shaky yet steady second Sunday by bringing in Rs. 7.31 crores; but this could have been even greater had not Delhi and Gurgaon theatres been shut down since they are regions where it was performing better than all others before this issue arose. Without those 2 days with considerably less earnings (maybe around 1-2 crore less), the total weekend earnings now appear much higher when they would be nothing special without those 2 days included; so far, the Reliance Entertainment, Sajid Nadiadwala, Vishnu Induri, Deepika Padukone and Phantom Films production has garnered about 91 crore rupees and though this still falls short of what is needed for any sort of actual recovery – at least there’s some positive progress being made here (the more distance between one point to another means lower total).
The Kabir Khan directed movie will be unprofitable for the time being at the box office. However, this film’s content is not rejected in the way that other movies such as Thugs of Hindostan was. This movie opened to a whopping Rs. 50 crore and then barely tripled what it made within its lifetime run- which was only because of good reviews from critics and urban audiences. For 83 though, this issue lies within its opening week where people just don’t seem interested; but yet they’re still waiting for word of mouth from both critics and audiences alike before giving up hope completely.
Note: All collections come from production and distribution sources
