Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-these names are enough for a film to flourish on the silver screen. However, sadly for the Fanney Khan makers the mighty star cast has not helped much! Despite super-strong buzz around the film and positive response to the trailer and songs, the box office collection on the first day might disappoint the makers. On Day 1, the film collected only Rs 2.15 crore on the ticket windows nationwide.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted,"#FanneyKhan has an extremely poor start... Fri ₹ 2.15 cr. India biz." Well, the film also got mixed reviews from the critics and that might have confused the viewers as to whether opt for the film or go ahead with other two content-based films.

Speaking of the other films, Fanney Khan is competing with 'Karwaan' and 'Mulk' at the box office. Karwaan stars Irrfan Khan, Mithila Palkar and Dulquer Salmaan and has managed to impress the critics and the audience with its emotional and entertaining content. On the other hand, Mulk is a courtroom drama directed by Anubhav Sinha. The film starring Taapsee Pannu and Rishi Kapoor has managed to garner all the positive reviews as well!

With this, we once again come to the debate of stars over content. Despite stellar actors like Ash, Rajkummar and Kapoor, the Atul Manjrekar directed film has failed to strike the right chord with the audience, well atleast on the opening day. Let us wait for the weekend collection now!Which film are you choosing to watch this weekend?
