AIYAARY BOX OFFICE COLLECTION : THE FILM'S COLLECTION IS UNDERWHELMING

Neeraj Pandey’s latest thriller, Aiyaary, which opened to scathing reviews from critics, had a dull start at the box office too. The film, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra in lead roles, made an opening collection of Rs 3.36 crore on day one and 4.04cr on saturday, according to the film critic and trade analyst, Taran Adarsh.

#Aiyaary witnessed an upward trend on Sat, but the 2-day total is underwhelming... Biz is better in metros... Fri 3.36 cr, Sat 4.04 cr. Total: ₹ 7.40 cr. India biz.

This states that Aiyaary collected Rs 3.25 crore on Friday, making it Sidharth Malhotra’s lowest opener ever. While his debut film Student of The Year (2012) opened with Rs 7.25 crore collection, Riteish Deshmukh’s Ek Villain (2014) and Akshay Kumar’s Brothers (2015) made opening collections of Rs 16.43 crore and Rs 13.04 crore respectively. Malhotra’s recent film opposite Jacqueline Fernandez, A Gentleman (2017) opened with Rs 3.73 crore while Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Ittefaq (2017) - a remake of Rajesh Khanna’s film by the same name -- collected Rs 3.69 crore on the first day.

Well, it's not a good sign for Sidharth and team Aiyaary. Hope it makes up to the pace and collects good amount of business worldwide.
