Daddy box office collection Day 2: Arjun Rampal film opens to a dull start.
After collecting a total of Rs 1.30 crore on Friday, Arjun Rampal’s film Daddy has shown a considerable growth at the box office on its second day of business. According to trade analyst Girish Johar the film has minted Rs 1.50 crore approximately, making a total of Rs 2.80 crore at the box office. He further added that the film is fetching most of its business from Maharashtra, which is fair enough as the film is based on a Maharashtra based gangster, Arun Gawli, who turned into a politician and at present, is serving his term in jail.
On the other hand, Poster Boys featuring Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol did a better job at impressing a lot of fans, as its collection was around Rs 1.80 crore on Friday.
Helmed by Ashim Ahluwalia, Daddy, also featuring South Indian actor Aishwarya Rajesh, is the story of underworld mafia Arun Gawli. Talking of Daddy‘s performance, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “This Friday is no exception… #PosterBoys, #Daddy, other new films start slow… Here’s hoping there’s a +ve turnaround before day ends.” He also said, “BO following similar pattern for *most* new films… Fri morning/noon = lukewarm… Biz picks up towards evening if film rich in merits…”
Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review of Daddy, “Daddy tells the story of a man who is, in equal measure, fascinating and repellant. Arun Gawli, son of a jobless mill worker, sets himself on the path to gangsterdom, becoming a larger-than-life persona, worshipped and feared by his constituency.”

Arjun Rampal’s Daddy had released amid a lot of expectations from fans. But its opening day collection is a let-down even when compared to low-budget films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Bareilly Ki Barfi which had managed to collect Rs 2.71 crores and Rs 2.42 crores, respectively. This Friday also saw multiple releases other than Daddy such as the Deol brothers’ Poster Boys and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub’s Sameer. Let’s wait and see how the film will perform in the coming days.
