Kangana
Ranaut's
latest
release
Panga
has
been
garnering
praises
from
all
quarters
ever
since
it
hit
the
theatres
yesterday,
January
24.
The
sports-drama,
which
is
directed
by
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari,
also
features
Punjabi
singer-actor
Jassie
Gill,
Neena
Gupta
and
Richa
Chadha
in
key
roles.
Though
the
movie
opened
to
rave
reviews
from
the
critics,
it
took
a
not-so-good
opening
at
the
ticket
windows.
On
day
1,
Panga
minted
Rs
2.70
crore
at
the
domestic
box
office.
Yes,
that
number
is
disappointing
considering
the
positive
buzz
around
the
film.
But
Kangana
starrer
is
definitely
going
to
rake
in
more
moolah
over
the
weekend.
In
fact,
Tiwari's
directorial
venture
has
already
witnessed
a
good
jump
at
the
ticket
windows
today
and
is
expected
to
fare
even
better
on
Sunday.
Trade
analyst
Atul
Mohan
took
to
popular
microblogging
site
Twitter
a
while
back
and
revealed
that
Panga
has
picked
up
the
pace
at
box
office.
He
wrote,
"#Panga
has
taken
big
jump
today!
Occupancy
has
more
than
doubled
in
the
morning
&
afternoon
shows
at
key
multiplexes
and
tier
2
&
3
towns
as
#KanganaRanaut
well
@Ashwinyiyer
@Rangoli_A
@RichaChadha
@jassiegill
@KanganaTeam."
Along
with
Panga,
Varun
Dhawan
and
Shraddha
Kapoor
starrer
Street
Dancer
3D
also
released
on
Friday.
Unlike
Kangana's
movie,
Remo
D'Souza's
latest
directorial
venture
opened
to
good
occupancy
and
then
went
on
to
mint
Rs
10.26
crore
by
the
end
of
day
1.
While
the
dance
film
performed
better
on
Friday,
it
may
not
sustain
for
long
over
the
weekdays.
Coming
back
to
Kangana,
this
is
her
first
release
of
the
year
and
it
seems
2020
is
going
to
quite
fruitful
for
the
National
Award-winning
actress.
She
has
two
more
films
lined
up
for
releases
and
both
of
them
have
already
grabbed
eyeballs.
Thalaivi
is
based
on
the
life
of
actress-turned-politician
Jayalalithaa
whereas
Dhaakad
is
an
out-and-out
action
flick.
