Nagraj
Manjule-Amitabh
Bachchan's
latest
film
Jhund
which
released
on
Friday
(March
4)
opened
up
on
a
slow
note
at
the
box
office
despite
positive
reviews
from
the
critics.
Speaking
about
its
box
office
collection
on
day
2,
the
sports
drama
has
reportedly
seen
some
growth
in
business
on
Day
2.
Speaking
about
its
second
day
box
office
collection,
the
film
collected
Rs
2.10
crore
after
minting
Rs
1.50
crore
on
its
opening
day.
The
total
two-day
box
office
collection
now
stands
at
Rs
3.60
crore.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted,
#Jhund
improves
in
#Mumbai
and
parts
of
#Maharashtra
on
Day
2,
but
the
numbers
in
some
circuits
-
especially
#NorthIndia
-
are
below
the
mark...
Biz
needs
to
multiply
on
Day
3
for
a
respectable
weekend
total...
Fri
1.50
cr,
Sat
2.10
cr.
Total:
₹
3.60
cr.

Nagraj
Manjule's
Jhund
seems
to
be
struggling
to
hold
tight
at
the
box
office
considering
it
is
facing
some
tough
competition
from
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
period
drama
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
featuring
Alia
Bhatt
and
Robert
Pattinson's
superhero
film
The
Batman.
Amitabh
Bachchan-starrer
Jhund
is
inspired
by
the
real-life
story
of
social
worker
and
founder
of
Slum
Soccer,
Vijay
Barse.
Earlier
in
a
chat
with
ETimes,
Vijay
had
said,
"I
was
quite
impressed
to
see
the
trailer.
The
emotions
have
been
captured
so
well.
It
was
heartening
to
see
some
of
my
slum
soccer
students
featured
in
the
film.
Also,
narrow
bylanes
of
Nagpur
are
shown
so
beautifully.
My
journey,
which
was
full
of
obstacles
and
challenges,
will
be
shown
on
the
big
screen.
I
am
excited
to
watch
the
film."
Besides
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Jhund
also
features
Akash
Thosar
and
Rinki
Rajguru
in
cameo
roles.
