Dobaaraa Box Office Collection Day 1
There is no doubt that the performance of star cast and direction in the film is praise-worthy, but will it help the film in collecting a fair amount at BO?? As every day we are witnessing boycott trends for major Bollywood movies, looks like Dobaaraa hasn’t been untouchable also.
Though the film did take above par expectation start, still it is on the lower side, it should have been made in the vicinity of Rs 1 Cr. However, the upward trend over the weekend could help the film to reach Rs 5 Cr on the first weekend. As per Taran Adarsh, Taapsee’s film earned Rs 72 Lakhs on Day 1.
