Dhaakad performs poorly at box office: Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Dhaakad’ seems to be trailing at the box office, with the movie performing lower on the second day compared to its opening day collection. The film earned only Rs 1.05 crore on Saturday against the Rs 1.20 crore that it managed to earn on an opening day. Dhaakad has managed to earn Rs 2.25 crores in two days. Looks like it is going to be added to the list of flop films in Kangana’s career. Although the audience's response to the film has been mixed, it is failing to draw the audience to the theatres.

Ayushmana Khurrana's ‘Anek' to release next week: After Bhool Bhuliya 2, T-Series is looking at another release of its film – Anek, starring Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role. Director Anubhav Sinha's film rests solely on Ayushmann, the hero of his previous film 'Article 15'. After Ayushmann Khurrana and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 'Gulabo Sitabo', the ‘Vicky donor’ actor has not done a film that did a decent job at the box office. His last film 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' also failed at the box office.
