Here’s the first week collection of ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’

Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao-starrer ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ has had a decent run at the box office in the first week. The film started slow at the box office, but then it picked up over the weekend. Though the following weekdays did not prove to be great for this film in terms of box office numbers, the film managed to do an average business overall.

As per statistics, the one week collection of this sweet film was Rs 18.25 crore nett. The numbers aren’t that great but we would say they are still decent considering the low budget of this film. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, this film received positive reviews from the critics as well as the audience. The kind words sure worked in the favour of this film.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar’s ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ has become the highest second week grosser of this year after ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’. In its second week, the film collected Rs 27.75 crore nett. As per Box Office India, ‘TEPK’ is right behind the mighty ‘Baahubali 2’ to collect the highest amount in its second week. The third position is held by Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’.

The year 2017 has not been great for many Bollywood films as many have failed to leave a mark with their box office collection. This list also includes Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Tubelight’, both of which were touted to be money-minters, before their respective releases. However, they failed to entice the critics and audience alike, thus turning out to be disasters.

After a respite which ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ have brought to the box office, let’s see what happens with ‘A Gentleman’, ‘Qaidi Band’ and ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ releasing this Friday.
