Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon’s film ‘Bachchan Pandey’ has been released this Friday at the box office. There was a lot of buzz about the film and the makers have released it on the occasion of Holi. The film has made a box office collection of Rs 13 crore on the very first day. The film is currently in direct competition with Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Kashmir Files’. However, despite this, the opening day business of the film has been good in terms of its first day.
What is the story of the film?
Apart from Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez have also played important roles in the film Bachchan Pandey, directed by Farhad Shamji. The story of the film is about a gangster on whom Kriti Sanon wants to make a film. She takes the help of Arshad Warsi to understand the life of that gangster closely and what happens next is the story of the film.
Blast done on the very first day
The film’s earnings figures have been released by trade analyst Taran Adarsh on his official Twitter handle. Taran Adarsh wrote, ‘Bachchan Pandey surprised everyone by doing a double digit collection on the very first day. Despite The Kashmir Files’ Lehar, Limited Shows and theaters opening in the afternoon on Holi, Mumbai and Gujarat witnessed tremendous business.
Collision with The Kashmir Files
Taran Adarsh wrote, ‘The film has done a business of Rs 13 crore 25 lakh on Friday and is expected to increase further on the second and third day.’ Let us tell you that Akshay Kumar’s last film was Suryavanshi, which exploded on the first day with a box office collection of 26 crores. Although business has been light in that respect, but in the circumstances in which the film has been released, it will be considered as a good opening.
The film causing havoc even on the 8th day
Although Bachchan Pandey had its first day and earned Rs 13 crore 25 lakh, The Kashmir Files did a business of Rs 19 crore 15 lakh even on the eighth day of its release, which competes with films like Baahubali 2 and Dangal. Let us tell you that while The Kashmir Files is a very serious film, the audience who like light-hearted and entertaining film will turn to Akshay Kumar’s Bachchan Pandey.
