Thackeray Week 1 Box Office Collection: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Starrer Fails to Make an Impact, Rakes in Rs 31.60 Crore
Nawazuddin starrer hasn't managed to impress the audience big time.
While Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is faring well at the Indian box office, Thackeray on the other hand which released alongside Kangana Ranaut's period war drama has failed to get cash registers ringing. The biopic arrived in the theatres on January 25 and got off to a dull start with hardly 5 to 10% occupancy. Though the film's business picked up over the weekend due to the big Republic Day holiday, Thackeray couldn't sustain itself at the ticket windows on weekdays. Co-starring Amrita Rao, the film has been released in Hindi and Marathi but both the versions haven't managed to pull the crowd to the cinema halls.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to popular microblogging site Twitter and revealed the updated figures a while back. He wrote, "#Thackeray Fri 6 cr, Sat 10 cr, Sun 6.90 cr, Mon 2.90 cr, Tue 2.50 cr, Wed 1.70 cr, Thu 1.60 cr. Total: ₹ 31.60 cr. India biz. #Hindi #Marathi."
Further, a report in Boxofficeindia.com noted, "The Hindi version was a dud from day one all over barring Maharashtra and even here the collections could not be called good as far as the Hindi version went. The Marathi version took a very strong opening and had a very good first weekend but the collections went downhill in a big way from Monday."
Well, with Uri: The Surgical Strike and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi currently ruling the box office, it seems Thackeray won't survive at the box office for long and will be out of theatres sooner than later.
