Shamshera Box office Collection Day 2: Ranbir Kapoor-starrer fails to attract Tamil, Telugu audience

High bets were placed on ‘Shamshera’, especially since the film marks the comeback of actor Ranbir Kapoor after a gap of four years. Many were hopeful that the film will perform better and may also be able to beat the record set by Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani-starrer ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. At the same time, ‘Shamshera’ was considered to be an important film for Yash Raj Films as well since the last three releases of the production house have turned out to be flops. However, contrary to that, Karan Malhotra’s directorial film has failed to perform as per the expectations. Speaking of the collection of the mega-budget, it saw a slight increase on Saturday as compared to Friday. There are even reports that due to the non-availability of the audience to watch this film in many theatres, its shows are getting cancelled.

Difficult to reach Rs 50 crores: For the past month, there has been a buzz around 'Shamshera'. While the film’s trailer was watched hugely, the film has not received the same response after its release on Friday. Looking at the slow pace at which the collection of the film is increasing, the chances of it earning Rs 50 crore seem less visible.

An increase of Rs 50 lakh only: No one in the film trade expected 'Shamshera' to increase its earnings on Saturday. There were hopes that the film should earn at least as much as it did on Friday. According to the initial figures of 'Shamshera' on Saturday, it has earned around Rs 10.75 crore on the second day of release. The total collection of the film is now around Rs 21 crore.

‘Shamshera’ leaked online: The film which also stars actors Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor has been leaked on multiple torrent websites such as Tamilrockers, Muovierulz and many others. This has caused a lot of damage to the makers.
