Abhishek Bachchan is still busy receiving rave reviews for his role in the recent release, Manmarziyaan. The actor who returned after two years on the big screen ensured that his long wait was worth it. With a powerful star cast comprising of Jr Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, and Vicky Kausal, Anurag Kashyap had to weave magic on the silver screen and we are glad he was successful at it. The movie that's receiving appreciation from critics and viewers alike is, however, not performing well at the box office. After a not-so-great opening day, the film hardly created any buzz on the weekend and collected Rs 14.33 crores in total. Manmarziyaan Movie Review: Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Abhishek Bachchan's Performances Sparkle in This Character-Driven Love Story

Popular trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to reveal the film's Sunday collection that are barely higher than its Saturday one. He wrote, #Manmarziyaan has a low weekend... Although the biz saw good growth on Day 2 [45.17%], it didn’t grow much on Day 3 [11.55%]... Weekend biz should’ve been higher due to the popular genre and music... Fri 3.52 cr, Sat 5.11 cr, Sun 5.70 cr. Total: ₹ 14.33 cr. India biz.

 

Manmarziyaan is being lauded for its music album that's one of the best of this year. We now wait to see if its good word of mouth will do any wonders for it at the box office. The movie will also face stiff competition from Shahid Kapoor's Batti Gul Meter Chalu that hits the screens next week. So guess the road ahead is tough for this Anurag Kashyap directorial.
