Akshay Kumar‘s latest film, Sarfira, is rapidly winning over audiences with each passing day. Following positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth, the film’s box office performance is on an upward trend. Notably, it saw an impressive 80% rise in collection on the second day of release.
Initially, the collections were affected due to bad weather. However, Sarfira bounced back on Saturday with a notable increase in audience turnout.
Sarfira Headed Towards Rs 12 cr Weekend On Sunday
Coupled with glowing reviews, the film starring Akshay Kumar garnered Rs 2.50 crores on its opening day. By day 2, its earnings surged to Rs 4.50 crores, bringing its total collection close to Rs 7 crores.
Anticipation is high for day 3, with Sunday expected to bolster Sarfira‘s box office figures even further. Buoyed by an 80% jump in attendance, the film’s success seems poised to continue unabated.
Looking ahead, Sarfira is aiming for a Rs 12 crore nett weekend, bolstered by an estimated Rs 5 crore from Sunday alone.
| Day | Collection (in Rs crore) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Fri) | 2.50 |
| Day 2 (Sat) | 4.50 |
| Day 3 (Sun) | 5 cr (estimate) |
| Total | 12 cr net |
However, it faces stiff competition from Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2, which also made a formidable debut at the box office.
