Here’s the first Tuesday collection of ‘Mubarakan’ and ‘Indu Sarkar’

Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ileana D’Cruz and Athiya Shetty-starrer ‘Mubarakan’ made it to the theatres last Friday and contrary to our expectations, the film proved to a dud at the box office. Despite having such powerful stars, and a commercially viable plot, ‘Mubarakan’ failed to make it big at the box office. It had a slow start and the trend continued. Even though the film witnessed a slight jump in box office numbers over the weekend, it witnessed a major drop on weekdays. It collected approximately Rs 3.50 crore on its first Monday and somewhat the same amount on the following day. The first Tuesday collection of this film too is Rs 3.50 crore, which takes the total collection to Rs 29.50 crore. For a film that has big names involved, the collection seems to be below average.

On the other hand, Madhur Bhandarkar’s controversial film ‘Indu Sarkar’ starring Kirti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Anupam Kher, that clashed with ‘Mubarakan’ this Friday has managed to mint decent amount at the box office. On its first Tuesday the film managed to make approximately Rs 35 lakhs at the box office. It is a disappointing figure, but at the same time, the film also has been made on a low-budget. The total collection of ‘Indu Sarkar’ stands at Rs 4 crore approximately.

Now, we await the release of Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, that will make it to the theatres on August 4. With the buzz that has been created around the film and the reports about the humongous pre-sales of the movie tickets, it is expected that ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ would turn out to be a hit at the box office. Let’s see whether it manages to change the game at the box office or not.
