RUSTOM Jumped On Day Two
This week box office saw a clash which had two contrasting films. Akshay Kumar starrer ''Rustom'' and Hrithik Roshan starrer ''Mohenjodaro'' are fighting out at box office and as expected by pre release buzz, Akshay has won this clash by some margin.
''Rustom'' was ahead in East Punjab, UP, Mumbai and central India. Film was super solid in multiplexes and even not so strong circuits for Akshay Kumar like Mysore, Nixzam were very good for the film. Film collected around 14.11 cr nett on day one which was good considering release size and clash factor.
As predicted by us yesterday, film grew by close to 18-20% on 2nd day and collected 16.43 cr nett. Film has two day total of 30.54 cr nett and it will have good Sunday and big independence day holiday. It is bound to cross 48 cr nett over weekend and 66-69 cr nett in four days itself.
It should be 3rd 100 cr grosser this year for Akshay Kumar. Film added 1.24 million $ (8.30 cr) on opening day in overseas with healthy biz in UAE-GCC (4.3 cr in two days).
