Shaakuntalam Day 4 Box Office Collection: The Epic Love Saga Starring Samantha Turns Out To Be A Dud!

Shaakuntalam is a mythological love story written by Kalidasa with the title 'Abhignana Saakunthalam.' The epic tale from Mahabharatha was adapted for making the movie starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The film was released all over the world on April 14 in five languages. Upon its theatrical release, Samantha's portrayal of Shakuntala didn't gain adequate response as expected.

Shaakuntalam was made on a massive budget for the mythological set-up. Also, depending on Samantha's fanbase alone, the producers made a whopping investment, which didn't yield desired results.

On its first three days, Shaakuntalam performed low and could only make Rs 5.65 Crore net in India. The footfalls for the opening day weren't that great, and they declined drastically in the following days.

Take a day-wise look at the box-office collection of Shaakuntalam in all languages in India, here:

Day 1: Rs 2.7 Crore
Day 2: Rs 1.55 Crore
Day 3: Rs 1.4 Crore
Day 4: Rs 60 Lakh (may earn)
Total 4 Days Box Office Collection: Rs 6.25 Crore
