Shamshera box office collection Day 2: Ranbir Kapoor's period drama makes no improvement on second day

Shamshera, which marked Ranbir Kapoor’s return to the big screen after a gap, was expected to take the box office by storm. As it turns out, the movie is finding it hard to pull the audience into theatres. Having had a less than favourable opening day, the movie has seen no improvement on its second day. 

According to Box Office India, Shamshera is looking at just around Rs. 10 - 10.25 crore on its second day. Having made an opening of Rs. 10.25 crore in the country, its first Saturday numbers have not improved from day one. As it stands now, it looks difficult for the makers to get back the reported budget of around Rs. 150 crore. 

The report suggests that the numbers in multiplexes did not really improve, while the collection from the mass belts did not drop. With less than favourable reviews and reactions of disappointed fans, the movie will have to see a massive growth on Sunday to finish with a strong first weekend. 

“My extra star for Shamshera is only for Ranbir Kapoor, who once again proved why he is one of the best actors we have in the country. He even brings the utmost conviction while tears roll down his eyes as Balli and also when he has to smirk as Shamshera,” read the movie’s review on OTTplay. 

Directed by Karan Malhotra, Shamshera also stars Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in important roles, with the latter playing the movie’s main antagonist. The movie is produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films.

Shamshera, which is set in the late 1800s, is now playing in theatres around the country and is also available in IMAX.
