While the Aanand L Rai’s production Tumbbad has got succeed to impress many in theaters with its gripping story-line and gained a positive word of mouth. But still, it witnessed a poor response on the opening day and minted the amount of 0.65 crore from Hindi, Tamil & Telugu versions.

In parallel, the another Hindi offering comedy-drama FryDay starring Govinda & Varun Sharma has received mixed reviews. Despite being a much-anticipated release of this week, it opened poorly and managed to collect 0.30 crore only.
