A star-studded cast including Kangana Ranaut might have been the reason behind why much anticipation was built up around Dhakka – but its poor performance has led to it earning barely even Rs. 50 Lakhs on Day One of its release, with a subsequent count of Rs. 1.55 Cr over 3 days post release. It is pertinent to note here that despite good reviews by both audiences and critics alike, Dhakka appears to be struggling at the box office due to what seems like an inflexible approach towards content driven cinema- while movies such as Bijoy Nambiar’s Bool Bhulaiyaa 2 are aimed squarely at appeasing commercial Indian sensibilities – Dhakka will most likely end up heavily incurring losses unless it changes course rapidly.
