John
Abraham-Emraan
Hashmi's
latest
release
Mumbai
Saga
has
passed
the
crucial
Monday
test
by
minting
Rs.
1.49
crore
on
Day
4
of
its
release.
On
the
first
two
days,
despite
receiving
a
positive
word-of-mouth,
the
film
helmed
by
Sanjay
Gupta
had
scored
box
office
figures
much
less
than
expected
owing
to
COVID-19
health
scare
and
the
night
curfew
in
some
parts
of
the
country.
However,
Mumbai
Saga
managed
to
spring
a
surprise
on
Sunday
by
minting
Rs.
3.52
crore.
The
gangster
flick
continued
to
have
a
steady
run
at
the
box
office
on
Monday
by
collecting
Rs
3.52
crore.
The
total
four-day
box
office
collection
now
stands
at
Rs.
10.23
crore.

Earlier,
Emraan
Hashmi
had
opened
up
about
the
makers
opting
for
a
theatrical
release
for
Mumbai
Saga
and
said,
"I
think
the
entire
team,
including
producer
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Sanjay,
should
be
applauded
for
being
brave
and
making
such
a
strong
decision.
We
could
have
taken
the
easy
route
out.
We
had
the
option
of
releasing
the
movie
directly
on
an
OTT
platform,
but
we
feel
responsible
for
this
film
as
it
was
designed
to
be
a
big-screen
experience.
Putting
it
out
on
a
small-screen
platform
will
be
a
disservice
to
this
film.
Releasing
it
in
theatres
should
get
a
trickle-effect.
The
fear
will
take
a
while
to
wear
off.
Even
if
the
collections
are
not
as
great,
it's
an
initiative
and
should
be
seen
for
what
it
is.
We
don't
know
what
will
happen
eventually,
but
this
film
was
waiting
for
a
long
time
to
see
its
audience
in
a
theatre.
So
be
it!"
Mumbai
Saga
also
stars
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Ronit
Roy
and
Mahesh
Manjrekar
in
prominent
roles.
