Akshay Kumar’s film Raksha Bandhan reached the theatres on 11 August. The family comedy-drama film clashed with Aamir Khan’s much-talked-about film Laal Singh Chaddha. The box office numbers of Raksha Bandhan are disappointing and seems like it would be another addition to Akshay Kumar’s flop films. Akshay, who emerged to be the box office king in the last few years, is delivering back-to-back flops this year. His latest films Bachchhan Pandey and Samrat Prithiviraj were major disasters of 2022.
Raksha Bandhan Box Office Collection Day 1:
As per Box Office India report, Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starrer has earned Rs 7.5 crore. It has lost the race with Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha which is said to have earned Rs 10-11 cr. Akshay has even lost in his own race as his previous releases did slightly better on their opening day. His Holi release Bachchhan Paandey earned Rs 13.2 crore on Day 1, while Samrat Prithviraj earned Rs 10.7 crore. This year, Kartik Aaryan is sitting on the Box office throne whose Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 recorded the highest opening. With Rs 14.1 crore earning on Day 1, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a huge hit while some mega-budget films have failed miserably.
Well, let’s see how this weekend turns out for Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar for their respective films. With Hindu festival Raksha Bandhan, followed by Saturday and Sunday and then Independence Day, the audience has quite a long weekend to visit the theatres and catch a show.
