Rustom First Day (Friday) Box Office Collection Report: Akshay Kumar Beats Hrithik Roshan At BO!

Akshay Kumar means 'Dhamaka' & we all know that. The much awaited film of the year, Rustom has hit the theatres yesterday (August 12, 2016) and very soon the film was inundated with some mixed reviews by most of the entertainment websites.

According to Thandani the opening day figures of "Rustom" can touch the Rs 12-13 crore mark. "There is a holiday period ahead and it seems both the films will benefit from it. I think over the weekend 'Rustom' should do Rs 40 crore," he added.
