The Karan Malhotra directorial Shamshera was released on Friday to a tepid response from the audience. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor the Yash Raj Films venture took off to a less than expected start, managing to draw in just Rs. 10.25 cr. on its opening day. It followed up with Rs. 10.50 cr. on Day 2.
As the film enters its third day, reports indicate that occupancy during morning and early afternoon shows have not seen an increase. Furthermore, the early morning and afternoon showings had a very mild reaction with just a small rise in numbers compared to the day prior.
According to the present occupancy trends, Shamshera’s Day 2 earnings are projected to stay between Rs. 10 cr. and Rs. 11 cr. Thus, the movie is expected to culminate its opening weekend with a total collection of around Rs. 30-31 cr.
