Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan has gotten off to a regrettably poor beginning at the Indian box office. Reports suggest the movie has amassed a sum of somewhere between Rs. 7.50 and 8.50 crores, which is disappointingly far lower than even the most reserved forecasts of the Bollywood industry.
The film experienced a very unimpressive beginning at all locations, particularly in the multiplexes, however, it did experience a sudden surge in viewership after the evening shows. Surprisingly, Gujarat recorded better occupancy numbers than Laal Singh Chaddha; nevertheless, it did not fare as well in the remaining regions. Given the dismal opening, the future of the movie hinges on its capability to remain stable for the following few weeks and acquire a substantial total.
This week brings with it multiple holidays, providing Raksha Bandhan the opportunity to make up for the lack of ground it had previously covered. The Akshay Kumar film was supposed to see a minimum double-digit opening; however, this did not take place. Nevertheless, Raksha Bandhan Day aided in boosting its collections more than the Aamir Khan film.
The significance of both, Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha, on days other than holidays was evidently not as strong as their turnout on Thursday; the audiences made it apparent that only the intriguing movies will lure them into cinemas, or else they will just not show up.
