The
Shaukeens
which
was
a
remake
of
the
cult
movie
Shaukeen
from
1982
got
mixed
reviews
when
it
released
on
November
7.
The
Shaukeens
featuring
Akshay
Kumar,
Lisa
Haydon,
Anupam
Kher,
Annu
Kapoor,
Piyush
Mishra
is
a
laugh
riot.
The
box
office
collection
was
not
too
bad
when
it
crossed
Rs
10
Cr
on
the
second
day
when
it
added
another
Rs
6.35
Cr
on
Saturday
taking
the
two
day
total
to
Rs
11.47
Cr.
Although
the
film
was
a
comedy
genre,
it
didn't
appeal
the
masses.
Performance
of
The
Shaukeens
at
the
box
office
was
affected
massively
when
the
Hollywood
film
Interstellar
released.
The
Shaukeens
was
released
along
with
another
movie
Rang
Rasiya.
While
Rang
Rasiya
was
all
about
the
painter
Raja
Ravi
Varma,
The
Shaukeens
was
totally
a
different
genre.
The
Shaukeens
opened
to
an
average
occupancy
of
25
to
30
per
cent.
While
still
word
of
mouth
reviews
might
boost
the
box
office
collection
of
The
Shaukeens,
it
is
not
sure
if
the
film
will
make
a
good
collection
to
beat
the
expenses
incurred
for
making
the
film.
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Kareena
Kapoor,
Suniel
Shetty
have
a
cameo
role
in
The
Shaukeens.
According
to
Boxofficeindia,
"Rang
Rasiya
fared
poorly
as
it
collected
around
60
lakh
nett
on
day
1.
Overall
collections
are
too
low
for
the
film
to
go
anywhere."
Akshay
Kumar
Although
Akshay
Kumar's
role
was
a
cameo,
he
did
an
extended
cameo
which
added
as
an
attribute
to
make
this
film
a
hit.
Poster
Mania
The
Shaukeens
posters
which
were
released
at
one
go
before

good
promotional
strategy.

sultry
actress
has
added

glamour
