Akshay Kumar starrer Bachchhan Paandey, that has been making headlines thanks to the immense promotions, finally released on Friday. Being one of the most talked about and keenly anticipated releases of recent times, the film opened on a good note. However, last week’s release The Kashmir Files still continues to run and will certainly dent the business of the Farhad Samji directed venture Bachchhan Paandey.
In this box office report, we take a look at the opening day collections of Bachchhan Paandey while comparing the same to previous releases of 2022 so far. Collecting Rs. 13.25 cr on Day 1, Bachchhan Paandey ranks as the highest opening day grosser of the year. Not surprisingly, the business of the film has overshadowed the collections of previous releases, Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi that collected Rs. 10.50 cr, Anupam Kher starrer The Kashmir Files that collected Rs. 3.55 cr, Rajkummar Rao – Bhumi Pednekar starrer Badhaai Do that collected Rs. 1.65 cr, and Amitabh Bachchan’s Jhund that had collectedRs. 1.38 cr.
As of now, Bachchhan Paandey that had received mixed reviews from critics is expected to see an increase in collections over the weekend. Thanks to the Holi festivities the business of the film will see a jump in collections. However, with The Kashmir Files continuing its box office run, the overall business of Bachchhan Paandey will definitely be affected.
