120 Bahadur Box Office collection day 1: Farhan Akhtar's film underperforms but shows potential for growth over first weekend

Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur Box Office collection day 1 was below average, but even Riteish Deshmukh's Mastiii 4 and Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De 2 had similar earnings.

Farhan Akhtar in 120 Bahadur

120 Bahadur, directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai, released in theatres on November 21. The Farhan Akhtar-starrer clashed with Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi's Mastiii 4 at the Box Office. Despite the two movies catering to two completely different audiences with its vastly different genre, they made the same range of Box Office opening.

The expectations were higher for Mastiii 4, given it is a franchise film aimed at single-screen audiences. Nonetheless, 120 Bahadur also gained attention for being the first movie to premiere in defense theatres across the country as a tribute to the military. Despite it all, 120 Bahadur struggled to perform at the domestic Box Office. Although the movie did see a rise throughout the day, hinting at better day 2 Box Office, it did not start off as great. The military drama, which focuses on the Battle of Rezang La, could not outperform Mastiii 4 at the Box Office.

120 Bahadur Box Office collection day 1

Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur earned Rs 2.35 crore on its opening day, according to Sacnilk. Mastiii 4 slightly surpassed it, while De De Pyaar De 2 also earned in the same range, but in its second week of the release.

Will De De Pyaar De 2 overtake 120 Bahadur and Mastiii 4 at the Box Office?

In comparison to both the releases Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan and Rakul Preet Singh's De De Pyaar De 2 had a better Box Office opening. The movie had earned over Rs. 8 crore on day 1 itself. Given the current scenario, it wouldn't be a surprise if De De Pyaar De 2 outperformed both the movies that released at the Box Office this week.

120 Bahadur audience reviews
