Shuddh Desi Romance, Zanjeer 2 Days Collection At Box Office

Shuddh Desi Romance (SDR) is having an edge over the much-talked about remake of Amitabh Bachchan's 1973 film Zanjeer in the domestic market. The Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra starrer has done a tremendous business in a limited number of screens at the Indian Box Office. But despite having double amount of screen count, the Ram Charan Teja and Priyanka Chopra starrer has fallen back in the race with a huge margin.

Released in 1050 screens on September 6, Shuddh Desi Romance opened to a decent response with its occupancy ranging between 35% - 40% in the morning shows on Friday. But the youth-centric film picked up very well in later shows, taking its first day collection to Rs 6.45 crores. The movie showed further improvements on Saturday with its business reaching approximately Rs 7.15 crores. The Sushant and Parineeti starrer has collected Rs 13.60 crores nett at the Indian Box Office in two days.

Whereas Zanjeer, which released in 2,086 screens in the country, opened to dismal response in morning shows on Friday and it did not show much difference in its business in the later shows. It collected Rs 3.58 crores in the domestic market on the first day. Instead of showing growth, the movie dropped considerably showed little growth on Saturday with its collection reaching Rs 2.89 crores. The Ram Charan and Priyanka starrer has collected Rs 6.47 crores nett at the Indian Box Office.

What surprises many in B-Town is that Shuddh Desi Romance has collected Rs 6.45 crores from 1050 screens in one day, while Zanjeer took two days to collect the same amount from 2085 screens in domestic market. The performance of the most-hyped remake has come as big disappointment for its producers.
