Fails The Monday Litmus Test, Drops By 56% Compared To Opening Day
Azaad, marking the acting debut of Aaman Devgn and Rasha Thadani, has pulled off a dismal total so far at the Indian box office. After a slow start, the film failed to pick up the pace, resulting in an underwhelming collection during the opening weekend. Considering the collection of less than 5 crores in the weekend, the number was expected to drop below the 1 crore mark, and that’s what happened. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 4!
Helmed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor, the film was released theatrically on January 17. Upon its release, the film received mostly favorable reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, it fared with decent word-of-mouth, but unfortunately, the same didn’t translate into footfalls. Due to its niche subject and fresh faces leading the pack, the Bollywood historical drama failed to attract a wider audience.
On day 1, Azaad clocked 1.50 crores, which was significantly boosted by the discounted ticket rates of Cinema Lovers Day. On day 2, the collection dipped slightly, and an estimated 1.40 crores came in. On day 3, it witnessed a negligible jump and earned 1.85 crores. On day 4, the film failed the litmus test of Monday and fell below the 1 crore mark.
Yesterday, Azaad earned an estimated collection of 0.65 crore of 65 lakh. This is a drop of 56.66% compared to day 1’s 1.50 crores. Even with a collection of 1 crore or more, the film still would have been a disaster at the Indian box office, as the overall total is poor. Its current tally in India stands at a dismal 5.40 crore net.
From here, the Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani starrer might just cross the 10 crore mark before wrapping up the run at the Indian box office. It’s a shocker for the makers, considering the extended cameo of Ajay Devgn featured in the film.
