Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
Dobara
(OUATIMD),
which
is
a
sequel
of
a
smash
hit,
has
concluded
the
first
weekend
with
a
decent
collection
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
The
Akshay
Kumar,
Imran
Khan
and
Sonakshi
Sinha
starrer
topped
the
domestic
business
chart,
beating
last
week
release
Chennai
Express.
But
despite
having
positive
word
of
mouth,
the
film
has
failed
to
live
up
to
the
massive
expectations
of
its
makers.
The
Milan
Luthria-directed
gangster
crime
thriller,
which
released
in
2,000+
screens
on
August
15,
received
a
very
good
response
on
its
opening
day.
With
its
screen
counts
increased
to
2,500
on
Friday
the
movie
was
expected
to
show
improvement,
but
when
compared
to
the
opening
day,
the
business
of
the
film
went
down
on
the
second
day
and
it
remained
low
over
the
weekend.
With
its
hype
soared
up
to
sky
high,
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
Dobara
was
expected
to
cross
Rs
50
crore
mark
in
the
opening
weekend,
but
it
has
failed
to
do
so.
The
movie
has
collected
approximately
Rs
40
crores
nett
at
the
Indian
Box
Office
in
its
four-day
extended
first
weekend.
Its
breakup
is
Rs
11.25
cr
on
Thu,
Rs
10.25
cr
on
Fri,
Rs
8.75
cr
on
Sat
and
Rs
9.75
cr
on
Sun.
Akshay
Kumar's
previous
release
Housefull
2
had
collected
Rs
43.5
crores
nett
from
3,000
screens
at
the
Indian
Box
Office
in
its
(three
days)
opening
weekend.
His
another
big
hit
film
Rowdy
Rathore
had
raked
in
Rs
48.3
crores
from
2,300
screens
in
the
domestic
market
in
the
(three
days)
first
weekend.
His
latest
outing
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
Dobara
has
failed
to
beat
both
these
record.
The
reason
for
its
failure
is
that
it
was
affected
by
Chennai
Express.
