The Eken Box Office collection: Anirban Chakrabarti, Paayel Sarkar-starrer opens to a sensational response

Eken Babu’s lovable antics and sharp mind have already created an uproar at the box office. Our desi ‘Johnny English’ became the talk of the town in the Kolkata market before its release due to his lovable nature and cerebral cheeky one-liners.

The Instagram video shared by SVF Entertainment shows an overwhelming crowd gathered eagerly to catch the show. The official numbers are not declared yet, but the audience’s response has been phenomenal so far.

“We were looking forward to a decent response but the audience so far has been really generous, especially the kids and families are having a great time at the theatres after the pandemic. We are all very happy (sic)”, music composer of The Eken Aamlaann Chakraabarty recently told OTTplay.

The tweets shared by SVF paint the same picture and the audience members are excited about the movie.
