‘The Ghazi Attack’ takes the lead at the box office, ‘Running Shaadi’ and ‘Irada’ go slow

This Friday, we had three films making it to the theatres viz. Taapsee Pannu-Rana Daggubati’s ‘The Ghazi Attack‘, Taapsee Pannu-Amit Sadh’s ‘Running Shaadi’ and Arshad Warsi-Naseeruddin Shah’s ‘Irada’. Three films releasing on the same day is quite a rarity and it surely pumps up the competition at the box office. Well, in this competition of three films, ‘The Ghazi Attack’ has taken the lead.

On day one, ‘The Ghazi Attack’, which is supposedly Bollywood’s first war-at-sea film, has collected Rs 1.25 crore at the box office, which is a decent amount. The film that also stars Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and Late Om Puri is based on the war that took place between India and Pakistan under the water.

The other two films, ‘Running Shaadi’ and ‘Irada’ have minted between Rs 10 to 12 lakh at the box office, on day 1. Even though the numbers are not that great, but the films have received a thumbs up from the critics, especially ‘Irada’.

‘Irada’ is said to be an amazing film with amazing performance by the stars. Arshad Warsi, Naseeruddin Shah, Divya Dutta, Sharad Kelkar and Sagarika Ghatge are said to be in their best form in this film.

Meanwhile, even ‘Running Shaadi’ has received good reviews. Taapsee and Amit are said to have delivered a great act in this film. Let’s see what the weekend holds for these films.
