For those who thought Happy Bhag Jayegi could make a dent in Rustom’s box office collection, the audience has spoken. The Diana Penty, Abhay Deol, Ali Fazal and Jimmy Shergill comedy opened to mixed reviews but all of it failed to translate into box office numbers.
The film opened to empty theatres with only 10-15 percent occupancy being reported at most places. Early trade estimates say the film will earn about Rs 2 crore at the BO in opening day collections.
Directed by Mudassar Aziz and produced by Anand L Rai, Happy Bhag Jayegi has shades of Tanu Weds Manu and may get some thrust from positive word of mouth. Made at a modest budget, the film may still pick up some speed in the coming days.
The film that is still holding sway is Akshay Kumar-starrer Rustom. The courtroom drama, which stars Akshay as a naval officer, has already earned over Rs 90 crore at the box office and is still going strong. The film is likely to enter the Rs 100-crore club this weekend. This will be Akshay’s third film this year to earn that kind of money. His Airlift and Housefull 3 had earlier earned over Rs 100 crore at box office.
