Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor starrer Shamshera released in theatres on July 22. The Karan Malhotra directorial received mixed reviews by critics and audiences. Also, given the hype and the buzz, Shamshera’s box-office collection is not as expected. It failed to live up to the expectations. Also, reportedly, many shows have been cancelled. The Day 1 collection is even less that Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj that tanked at the box-office
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared first day collection of Shamshera. It has minted Rs. 10.25 crore at the ticket windows. As per Day 1 collection wise, it stands at fifth position. Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 at first, Bachchhan Paandey at second, Samrat Prithviraj at 3rd, and Gangubai Kathiawadi at 4th.

Many movies don’t start off well on its first day. But, word of mouth and positive reviews help certain movies sail. But, the road ahead for Shamshera seems to be not favourable as the reviews are also not that good. So, the film has to struggle a lot.
An excerpt of Shamshera review by Bollywood Bubble reads: “Ranbir Kapoor starrer Shamshera gives an epic cinematic experience if only I neglect the melodrama and the pace of the film. For me, the film ended in the first half as it was quite predictable what is going to happen in the second half of the film which was a drag”.
