Vivek Oberoi's latest release PM Narendra Modi is surprisingly doing well at the ticket windows in India despite opening to not so great reviews from the critics. The political drama, directed by Omung Kumar wasn't even a solo release and still, it has managed to rake in a decent amount of money at the box office till now. On day 1, the film witnessed around 10 to 15 % occupancy during the morning shows which was quite underwhelming. However, over the first weekend, the Modi biopic fared well and had substantial growth in its collection. With Narendra Modi and BJP winning the elections once again, Vivek starrer has certainly gotten some much-needed boost at the box office. PM Narendra Modi Box Office Collection Day 2: Vivek Oberoi's Newest Release Fares Better on Saturday, Stays Ahead of Arjun Kapoor's India's Most Wanted as it Rakes in Rs 6.64 Crore

Just a while back, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and announced the updated figures saying, "#PMNarendraModi showed positive trending across the weekend... Biz on Day 3 gave the much-required push... Weekdays crucial, since it needs to maintain the momentum for a satisfactory total... Fri 2.88 cr, Sat 3.76 cr, Sun 5.12 cr. Total: ₹ 11.76 cr. India biz."

PM Narendra Modi was initially supposed to release on April 12. But the controversial political drama, based on the life of Narendra Modi, got postponed due to the 17th Lok Sabha Elections. As if that wasn't enough, Vivek also courted some serious controversy just before the film's release but it seems all the noise and hype around the biopic has ultimately proved beneficial for its run at the box office. PM Narendra Modi Box Office Collection Day 1: Vivek Oberoi's Political Drama Fares Decently on Friday, Mints Rs 2.88 Crore
