Khiladi Akshay Kumar’s latest flick ‘Selfiee’ has turned out to be his lowest opening in over a decade.
After Shahrukh Khan starrer Pathaan’s success, it was expected that maybe a few Bollywood biggies would do some decent business at the ticket windows.
However, Akshay Kumar has delivered fifth flop in a row. And while the numbers of the second day seems to be an improvement on the first, it seems unlikely the film will pick up enough pace in coming days to make up for the first two days.
Reports said Selfiee performed astonishingly low on its first day at the box office with an opening of Rs 2.55 crore, and it hasn’t done wonders on its second day either.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film earned Rs 3.80 crore on its second day, which is a slight improvement, but not a marked one. This brings the total to Rs 6.35 crore
Considering the film has a star-studded cast that also features Emraan Hashmi and is backed by Karan Johar, no less, the movie was expected to make more money at the ticket counter.
Barring Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which crossed the Rs 1000 crore mark worldwide, it appears as if Bollywood is once again in the dumps.
