Box Office: Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sarkar 3 1st Day Collection, Take Slow Start

Opening Day Collection of Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sarkar 3

Two Hindi movies have been released at box office this Friday, Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sarkar 3. Both the offerings were expected to take decent start but unfortunately already existing Baahubali 2 and mixed reviews of critics have ruined their opening day.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra starrer romantic comedy Meri Pyaari Bindu generated good buzz among fans as well as audience with it’s promos and songs, but on the opening day it recorded only 15-20% of occupancy on 750 screens across the country.

Akshay Roy’s this directorial is limited to multiplex audience, and recorded slight growth in footfalls from evening shows. As per reports, the movie has collected the amount of 1.75 crore on Friday.

On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan, Amit Sadh, Yami Gautam and Jackie Shroff starrer political thriller Sarkar 3 has recorded 10-15% of occupancy on 1425 screens nationwide. It is the third installment of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s most successful franchise Sarkar.

This is why it was expected to do better than the adjacent release, but unfortunately it also got failed to impress viewers as well as critics. On a lower than previous installments of the franchise, the third one raked the amount of only 2.10 crores on the opening day.

While the Hindi version of Baahubali 2 alone took better start and collected higher amount on it’s 3rd Friday than the combined opening business of these two domestically.
