Budget
Films like Superstar and Dangal had done wonders in China, it’ll be interesting to see how the Chinese theater goers respond to RGV’s Ladki. As per RGV, Ladki is his costliest film to date. Verma’s film is all set to give stiff competition to Ram Pothineni’s “The Warrior“, Rajkummar Rao’s “Hit: The First Case” and Tapsee Pannu’s “Shabaash Mithu” which are releasing a day before Ladki.
Box Office Collection
The buzz is not good surrounding RGV’s film, it seems in India, the film will be seen by RGV’s hardcore fans only. As per the estimation, it will collect in the range of Rs 15-20 Lakhs on Day 1. His previous release Dangerous met the same fate, it revolves around a lesbian couple. Also Read Dangerous Box Office Collection Day 1: Ram Gopal Verma’s Film Off To a Dismal Start!
