First week collection: ‘Mubarakan’ and ‘Indu Sarkar’ disappoint

Arjun Kapoor and Anil Kapoor came together for the first time on the big screen in ‘Mubarakan’. Everyone was quite excited to see chacha-bhatija on the big screen together. However, the film has failed to make a mark at the box office. In its first week, ‘Mubarakan’ has collected Rs 35 crore which is really bad. This should have been the collection of the film after four days and not seven days. The movie at least required to collect around Rs 40-45 crore in week one.

Well, we could have expected ‘Mubarakan’ to do better in its second weekend, but the problem is that it has to face a tough competition from Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma-starrer ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. The Imtiaz Ali directorial will surely be the first choice of moviegoers this weekend. (Also Read: Here’s the first Tuesday collection of ‘Mubarakan’ and ‘Indu Sarkar’)

On the other hand, Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’ too has collected a very disappointing amount in its first week. The first week collection of the film is Rs 4.75 crore. The movie is made with a budget of Rs 10 crore, and the makers have already recovered Rs 2 crore from music rights, and Rs 4 crore through satellite and digital rights. So, it is already a profitable venture for its makers, but we cannot say that ‘Indu Sarkar’ is a hit at the box office.
