drama
thriller

which

the

of
noted

composer
Arjun
Janya,

Shiva
Rajkumar,

B.
Shetty,
the
film
opened
in
cinemas
on
December

and
is
gradually
shaping
its
early
box
office
trajectory.
As
per
initial
estimates
from
box

Sacnilk,

has
earned
around
₹9.5
crore
India

in

Opening
Weekend
Performance
The
film
began
its
theatrical
run
on
Thursday
with
collections
of
₹5.5
crore,
benefitting
from
the
Christmas
release
window.
However,
like
many
holiday
releases,
the
momentum
dipped
on
its
second
day.
Friday
saw
collections
fall
to
₹2
crore,
marking
a
drop
of
more
than
60%
from
its
opening
day.
On
Saturday,
the
film
maintained
the
same
level,
adding
another
₹2
crore
(as
per
rough
data),
bringing
the
three-day
total
to
₹9.5
crore.

The
near-flat
Saturday
performance
suggests
stable
but
limited
footfall
after
the
drop
from
Day
1.
The
film
now
follows
into
Day
4,
and
its
Sunday
earnings
will
largely
determine
the
strength
of
its
opening
weekend.
