Anurag Kashyap’s latest project Manmarziyaan is a true-blue romantic film, which is pretty rare for the director. The film earned Rs 3.52 crore on its opening day. Starring Taapsee Pannu, Abhishek Bachchan, and Vicky Kaushal, the film focuses on a love triangle. It marks Abhishek Bachchan’s comeback to cinema after a two-year hiatus.
The film has generated considerable buzz since it was announced. The idea of Kashyap, who is more known for his cynical style of filmmaking, taking on the romance genre has intrigued his fans.
Trade analyst Girish Johar had previously said, “Manmarziyaan has created the right buzz by highlighting the comeback of Abhishek Bachchan on the silver screen after two years. The other cast of the movie, Vicky Kaushal has been winning over the audiences with his performances and so is Taapsee Pannu. So, the film boasts of a strong star cast.”
Taran Adarsh tweeted the figures. He said, “#Manmarziyaan has a low Day 1… Started on a dull note in the morning, but picked up towards evening… North circuits were better… Biz will scale upwards on Sat and Sun [a norm these days], but real test will be on weekdays… Fri ? 3.52 cr. India biz.”
