Box Office Report: Kangana Ranaut-Shahid Kapoor-Saif Ali Khan's Rangoon shows no growth on Day 2!
Rangoon shows no growth on Saturday and Jolly LLB 2 shows limited growth on second Saturday.
On January 24, 2017 - Vishal Bhardwaj's highly awaited film Rangoon was released with a star-studded cast including Kangana Ranaut, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. Set in the backdrop of World War II, the movie revolves around a love triangle between Julia (Kangana), Rusi (Saif) and Nawab (Shahid).
While the first day had a poor start with INR 5.06 crore which could be accounted for as it was the occasion of Mahashivratri, Day 2 showed no growth either. On Saturday, it collected only INR 5 crore approx which brings the total till now to INR 10.06 crore only. The film required at least 60-70% growth and has unfortunately sealed its fate and the numbers today and on Monday will not matter.
Despite the poor box-office numbers, the movie has been appreciated for its unique storytelling and Kangana, Shahid and Saif's performances have been praised.
Meanwhile, Jolly LLB 2 which released on February 10, 2017, and is directed by Subhash Kapoor had limited growth on its second Saturday. The movie which stars Akshay Kumar, Saurabh Shukla, Annu Kapoor and Huma Qureshi saw a good Friday as it was Mahashivratri. On Friday is collected INR 1.75 crore and Saturday collections stood at INR 2 crore. Sunday should be a good day for the movie as well. The total box-office collection for Jolly LLB 2 now is INR 100.23 crore approx.
The movie crossed the INR 100 crore mark recently and Akshay held a success press conference for the movie.
