R Madhavan's directorial 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' and Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer 'Raksha Kavach Om' have seen a decent increase in their box office numbers over the weekend.
The first weekend for any newly released film is considered to be the litmus paper. If a film is able to perform well over the weekend, it sets the pace for the weekday collection. And there, Sunday was important for not one but two films -- R Madhavan’s ‘Rocketry: The The Nambi Effect’ and Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer ‘Rashtra Kavach Om’, both of which released in the theatres on Friday. Interestingly, both the films have seen an increase in the weekend collection, despite the fact that they were released on a lesser number of screens in comparison to Raj Mehta’s ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’, which hit the theatres a week before. Take a look at how films performed on Sunday:
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect: R Madhavan's film 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' is being liked by the audience. The film is doing well at the box office right from its release. The film collected around Rs 3.70 crore in all languages on Sunday, further improving its figures from Friday and Saturday. According to the final figures of Saturday, the film had earned Rs 2.97 crore.
