Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee starrer Aiyaary finally hit the screens on February 16. And the Neeraj Pandey directorial is off to an extremely slow start at the box office followed by a slower Sunday. The film has crawled hard to collect Rs 11.70 crore by the end of the third day of its release. With its first weekend coming to a close, the chances of Aiyaary bouncing back are fairly less.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the latest box office collection of the patriotic drama and wrote”#Aiyaary fell flat on Sun… Growth in biz was missing… Weekend biz is lower than #AGentleman [₹ 13.13 cr] and #Ittefaq [₹ 16.05 cr]… Overall, lacklustre… Fri 3.36 cr, Sat 4.04 cr, Sun 4.30 cr. Total: ₹ 11.70 cr. India biz.”
Trade analysts earlier predicted that the film could pass the Rs 15 crore mark by the weekend but it seems highly unlikely considering the run Aiyaary has had at the box office till now. Aiyaary is facing some stiff competition not just from Marvel’s Black Panther which saw the same release date as Aiyaary, but also from last week’s release PadMan starring Akshay Kumar in the lead.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the movie’s earnings, “#Aiyaary witnessed an upward trend on Sat, but the 2-day total is underwhelming… Biz is better in metros… Fri 3.36 cr, Sat 4.04 cr. Total: ₹ 7.40 cr. India biz.”
