Srikanth Box Office Collection Day 14: Rajkummar’s Film Stays Strong Despite Dip; Beats Roohi On 2nd Thursday

Srikanth Box Office Collection Day 14: Rajkummar Rao is a happy bird these days and rightfully so. After all, his recent release Srikanth has turned out to be an endearing watch and had managed to win millions of hearts across the world. Helmed by Tushar Hiranandani, Srikanth is a biopic on Srikanth Bolla, a visually-impaired industrialist and the founder of Bollant and also features Sharad Kelkar, Jyothika and Alaya F in the lead. The movie had released earlier this month and has been going strong at the box office ever since.

To note, Srikanth, which featured Rajkummar Rao in the titular role, made an opening day collection of Rs 2.25 crores followed by an impressive opening weekend. The movie was seen having a strong hold at the box office during the first week despite a massive drop in numbers on the first Monday. While the second weekend came with a massive hike in numbers for Srikanth, it did see a dip on the second Monday.

However, with a clear run at the box office with no competition and a positive word of mouth, Srikanth has managed to have a good hold at the box office in the second week as well. According to a report published in Sacnilk, Srikanth has managed to rake in Rs 1.2 crores on day 13 (second Wednesday) followed by a collection of Rs 1.40 crores on day 14 (second Thursday) as per early estimates which took the overall collections of the movie to Rs 31.45 crores. Interestingly, if the reports are supposed to be true, Srikanth has managed to beat Roohi on the second Thursday. For the uninitiated, Srikanth, starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, minted Rs 1 crores on its second Thursday post release.

Interestingly, as Rajkummar is enjoying the love coming his way with Srikant, he is now gearing up for his second release - Mr and Mrs Mahi with Janhvi Kapoor. Helmed by Sharan Sharma, the movie marks Rajkummar's second collaboration with Janvhi after Roohi. Recently, Janhvi got candid about the movie and said, "Our director is a purist and works with a lot of honesty, so he wanted me to become a cricketer for the film. He didn't want any cheating on that, didn't want to use VFX, or do anything half-heartedly. He wanted me to be one with this universe, be a cricketer wholeheartedly. I suffered a lot of injuries as well while prepping. Both my shoulders were dislocated, but I'd like to give all the credit to him, the director, and both my coaches Abhishek Nayar and Vikrant sir, who have done a lot of hard work and have held my hand at every turn"
