On Friday, two new films arrived in cinema halls but only one of them managed to get cash registers ringing big time. While Hindi release Khandaani Shafakhana starring Sonakshi Sinha failed to find an audience, Hollywood action flick Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, on the other hand, took a massive opening at the ticket windows. The movie raked in Rs 13.15 crore on day 1, making it the second biggest Hollywood opener of the year in India after Avengers: Endgame. The Hollywood biggie will further grow on Saturday and Sunday which will definitely ensure a solid opening weekend collection. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw Movie Review: Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham Give the Finger to Physics in This Slick, Entertaining Action-Comedy

Since the Fast & Furious franchise has a good following in India, it's not surprising that Hobbs & Shaw is off to flying start at the Indian box office. The movie is expected to create few records as well and will comfortably enter the Rs 100 crore club too.
