Just because your film got a very good critical consensus doesn't mean that it will achieve box office success too! Ask the makers of Mulk. Despite getting rave reviews for a commercial film, Mulk didn't manage to draw in the crowds, though who end up seeing the film have loved it. Taapsee Pannu had played the lead in Mulk, and now it looks like another of her critically well-received film fails to impress the crowds. That's the sad story of Manmarziyaan. Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan to Not Release in Pakistan for Violating the Censorship Code?

Anurag Kashyap, for the first time, directs a love story without the usual violent shenanigans and that itself makes Manmarziyaan a refreshing change.  The movie has been praised by the critics for the performances of Taapsee Vicky Kaushal and Abhishek Bachchan, the dialogues and the narrative. However, despite the high praise, Manmarziyaan has underperformed at the box office. The movie has not managed to bring in great numbers over its first weekend. Manmarziyaan Celeb Review: Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor, Neha Dhupia Laud Anurag Kashyap’s First Ever Rom-Com; Read Tweets.

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Manmarziyaan has collected Rs 16.43 crore in its four-day run. Check out its tweet below -

The movie is made on a budget of Rs 30 crore, so it needs to at least cross Rs 40 crore to be called a hit. However, going by its current progression, it looks like an uphill task for the film. Moreover, with Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's Batti Gul Meter Chalu coming out this week, all the more difficult for Manmarziyaan to break even. Manmarziyaan Movie Review: Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Abhishek Bachchan's Performances Sparkle in This Character-Driven Love Story!

Manmarziyaan's box office success was quite important for Abhishek Bachchan who was returning to the big screen after a gap of two years. Well, he can at least take hope in the fact that the movie performed far better than Paltan, that came a week before and nearly starred Bachchan Jr.
