Box Office Collection Day 1
Parineeti hasn’t seen a hit film since Kesari which was released in March 2019, her Jabariya Jodi, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Saina had tanked at the box office. And Tiranga also seems to be a flop affair as there is no buzz among the public for the movie.
It witnessed only 8.22% occupancy across all the shows on Friday, the trend was more or less flat over the morning, noon, evening, and night shows. Box Office tracker, Rohit Jaiswal informed via Twitter that Code Name: Tiranga has taken a start of 15L at the box office.
Day 1 – #CodeNameTiranga – ₹15 Lakh
