9 crore opening
From the initial figures, it is clear that Raksha Bandhan will open only 9 crores at the box office. Not only this, the word of mouth for the film is so bad that it is also believed that this film will be Akshay Kumar’s third consecutive big flop at the box office after Bachchan Pandey and Samrat Prithviraj.
Bachchan Pandey also performed better
Akshay Kumar’s Bachchan Pandey, despite being a superflop, fared better than Raksha Bandhan on the first day. Bachchan Pandey recorded 39 percent occupancy on the first day of which 22 percent occupancy was registered in the morning show. On the other hand, Samrat Prithviraj recorded 19 percent occupancy on the first day where 12 percent occupancy was recorded in the morning show.
Recordings are being made
Significantly, Akshay Kumar is the man who ended the box office drought with his Rohit Shetty film Sooryavanshi. Sooryavanshi was the first film released in theaters after the end of the Corona period to register 52 percent occupancy at the box office. That too when Sooryavanshi was a Diwali release.
