Manikarnika 1st Day Box Office Collection

Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi underperformed on the opening day as it has grossed approx 8.75 crores. The numbers are below the mark considering the scale of the film.

The film was average to dull in masses and was mainly collecting in North India. Ideally, it should have opened well in single screens too. However, there was no face value and the film also had no popular music. Thus the initial buzz was on the lower side. The lead heroine tried to generate some controversy but it did not really help as it happened with Padmaavat.

Overall the numbers are average and the film needs to show big turnaround in the next few days. There is a big national holiday on Saturday which will give a boost. And then the family audience will come on Sunday which can be very crucial.

Manikarnika has been made on a budget of approx 90-100 crores. Thus it needs to do atleast 150 crores for recovering the costs. It will be an uphill task but the word of mouth seems to be positive so there is a chance.
