Akshay
Kumar-Kriti
Sanon's
latest
release
Bachchhan
Paandey
has
failed
to
rake
in
huge
moolah
at
the
box
office
owing
to
The
Kashmir
Files
fever
which
has
gripped
the
nation.
The
film
which
opened
to
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics,
is
having
a
disappointing
run
despite
its
star
cast
being
headlined
by
a
superstar.
After
minting
a
weekend
collection
of
Rs
37.25
Crore
(Rs
13.25
Crore
on
Friday,
Rs
12
Crore
on
Saturday
and
Rs
12
Crore
on
Sunday),
the
gangster
film
witnessed
a
major
drop
in
its
box
office
figures
on
Monday
and
Tuesday.
According
to
a
report
in
Box
Office
India,
Akshay
Kumar's
Bachchhan
Paandey
minted
Rs
3.25
crore
on
Tuesday,
taking
the
total
to
Rs
47
crore.
With
SS
Rajamouli's
much
anticipated
film
RRR
starring
Ram
Charan,
Junior
NTR
and
Alia
Bhatt,
releasing
this
Friday,
chances
of
Bachchhan
Paandey
minting
big
numbers
looks
slim.
Previously,
in
an
interview
with
News18,
Akshay
had
admitted
that
RRR
might
affect
the
box
office
collection
of
Bachchhan
Paandey.
The
superstar
was
quoted
as
saying,
"See,
because
of
this
pandemic,
lots
of
movies
are
going
to
come
one
on
top
of
the
other.
To
say
at
the
moment
impact,
yes
it
obviously,
it
is
going
to
impact.
Each
movie
will
impact
each
other.
Everything,
the
businesses
are
going
to
go
down
by
30
to
40
per
cent.
It
is
a
very
unfortunate
thing,
but
you
will
have
to
deal
with
it."
Speaking
about
Bachchhan
Paandey,
the
film
helmed
by
Sajid-Farhad,
is
a
remake
of
Kartik
Subbaraj's
Tamil
hit
Jigarthanda.
Besides
Akshay
Kumar,
the
mass
entertainer
also
features
Kriti
Sanon,
Arshad
Warsi,
Pankaj
Tripathi
and
Prateik
Babbar
in
key
roles.
