Box Office Report: Baadshaho and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan show growth on Day 2
Here's the box office collection of Baadshaho and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan on its first Saturday.
Two movies released on Friday - Ajay Devgn's Baadshaho and Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.
Baadshaho earned about INR 10.10 crore on the opening day, while Shubh Mangal Saavdhan minted INR 2.64 crore.
The collection of Day 2 is out and as per a leading trade website, Baadshaho showed growth of about 35% as it earned INR 13.50 on Saturday making it to the total of INR 23.60 crore.
Director Milan Luthria, earlier talking about box-office numbers, had stated, "No, I do not feel the pressure of that, but yes like many filmmakers, even I want my film to get good numbers at the box office. I think our Indian audience have equated Rs 100 crore as a century of a cricketer. No matter how many times you have scored 99 runs, if you have not done 100s, you are not a successful player. It’s sad. Honestly, personally, I am dead against it.”
Talking about Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, the film doubled its collection on Day 2 as it made INR 5.50 crore making the total of INR 8.14 crore. In India, the film has released at 1400 screens.
Recently, when Ayushmann was asked by a leading daily if essaying such roles makes him challenge the conventional image of an Indian man, the actor replied, "Well, that's the message we are trying to convey through this film. My character Mudit is macho. SMS (Shubh Mangal Saavdhan) celebrates the alpha male of our country, who is suffering from performance anxiety. He, along with his partner, is trying to fight the problem. For the couple, it is them versus the family. The film draws attention to the fact that manhood is not just about 'getting it up', but standing up for various issues."
