Batla House Box Office Collection Day 2: John Abraham's Latest Outing Witnesses Normal Drop on Friday, Earns Rs 24.39 Crore
Apart from John, Batla House also features Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and Nora Fatehi in supporting roles. The film basically sheds light on the controversial Batla House encounter and what happened thereafter.
John Abraham's Romeo Akbar Walter, which came out in April this year, wasn't a big hit, however, his latest release Batla House seems to be doing far better at the Indian box office. Firstly, the action thriller took a very good opening of Rs 15.55 crore on Thursday and then it clocked in a good amount of money on Friday as well. Directed by Nikhil Advani, the movie raked in Rs 8.84 crore on day 2, bringing its grand total to Rs 24.39 crore which is commendable considering Batla House released alongside Akshay Kumar's multi-starrer space drama Mission Mangal.

Announcing the film's updated figures, well-known trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter a while back and wrote, "#BatlaHouse faces the normal decline on Day 2 [working day after a big holiday]... Day 3 and 4 should witness an upward trend... Needs to pack solid numbers to record a strong *extended* weekend... Thu 15.55 cr [revised], Fri 8.84 cr. Total: ₹ 24.39 cr. India biz."
Further, trade portal Boxofficeindia.com has stated in its report, "The film could have done with better business in Mumbai circuit as the figures are noticeably lower than Satyameva Jayate in Mumbai but the film is looking to do better than that film in Delhi / UP. The film really needs a solid Monday and that will be the key if the film is to succeed."

Since Batla House is off to a fairly good start at the domestic box office, the film will end up with an impressive opening weekend figure. However, John starrer will have to stay stable on weekdays to ensure a solid finish in India.
