Box Office Collection
Ajay-Amitabh starrer got poor collections from the advance bookings, the film now all depends on the current bookings, if the film churns out over Rs 5 crore on an opening day, it would be called fine collections following there was no such hype amongst the cinephiles. Films business could grow based on the positive word of mouth further.
As per our estimation, it would mint in the range of Rs 4 to 5 crore** from the domestic market on an opening day.
